Indication, pizza is one of the
popular finals-week foods.
Stanley Lyons, manager of
lino’s Pizza in Bryan, said:

extra help during the finals rush.
Dale DeShazo, a Domino’s de

Airline flights possible for pets,
if weather okay, animal healthy
By JUDY ALLS
Battalion Reporter
Concerned pet owners who are
flying home for the holidays may
find taking their pets with them is
no problem, provided certain con
ditions are met.
A person traveling with a pet
from Houston Intercontinental
Airport can simply buy a pet ticket
from most airlines and cage the
pet, Jane Williams of Eastern air
lines said. She suggested that the
pet’s reservation be made several
days in advance.
Some smaller pets, such as
miniature poodles and cats, may
be taken on the plane with the
passenger, but must be kept in a
cage. Larger animals are flown in
the baggage compartment, Wil
liams said.
If a pet is to travel alone, Aero
air freight will take the pet by
truck from College Station to
Houston Intercontinental, or
meet the animal in Houston and
bring it back to College Station,
Mike Heritage of Aero said.
An animal traveling alone from
Houston Intercontinental also can
travel by air freight, but certain
stipulations must first be met.
A health certificate no older
than 10 days must be submitted to
the airline, and it is suggested that
the veterinarian signing the certi
ficate recommend whether the
animal be sedated, Weatherford
said.
If, at the final destination, the
temperature at the airport termin
al dock is less than 45 degrees or
more than 95 degrees, animals
will not be allowed to travel. Also,
an animal cannot be kept on the
dock for more than four hours, and
will be sent to a kennel if it is not
picked up within that time.
The animal’s cage also must be
ventilated on two-thirds of the
outer surface, have handles and
allow the dog to sit, lie, stand and
turn. Heritage said.
“The trip must be done in the
most humane manner, and we
usually find out the animal’s name
so that the driver and animal can
build a rapport while traveling,”
Heritage said.
Price depends on the size of the
dog.
Snyder said she asks pet owners
to bring one of the pet’s favorite
toys with them. She feeds her
boarders their usual food on their
familiar schedule, she said.
Most kennels have both indoor
and outdoor facilities. Many ken
nels require proof of the animal’s
inoculations, an emergency num
ber and veterinarian’s name.
Snyder said Texas A&M stu
dents own about half of the boar
ders she will have for the Christ
mas holidays.
“If people care enough about an
animal to want to house it and take
care of it, then it’s a service I can
render,” she said.
