Be it domestic or international, you can travel with your pet! It maybe a little challenging but I will provide a basic guide on how you can do it seamlessly.

Documents required:
Firstly, when you decide to take your pet on a trip, always make sure to consult a doctor. A fit or health certificate, medical documents stating their vaccinations need to be validated by a vet and needs to be issued 72 hours prior to the date of travel. This applies if you wish to travel by air or train. As the formalities increase when you travel with a pet, you must reach the station or airport 3 hour prior to the departure.

If you are travelling internationally:
You must hold an entry permit, and some other documents which shall be stated by the country you wish to go to.

For air travel:
Any pet weighing below 7kgs can be placed in the cabin but they are required to be in a container. If they exceed the weight, they will be sent to the cargo in a ventilated and comfortable bag or kennel. They must also must be at least eight weeks old to travel in the cabin and 3 months or older to travel in the cargo hold.
Airlines which allow pets: AirIndia, Lufthansa, Jey Blue, Delta, Emirates, British Airways, Air Canada, Vistara, Japan Airlines, Air France and so on.

For train:
Travelling in a train will require you to book a first-class compartment. Although there are no size of weight limits, but the there may be some charges based on them.
Trains allowing pets: Indian Railways allow pets only if the train has a first-class AC compartment or if they pet is in a luggage van. Usually, the station manager’s permission is required, which is fairly simple.

Things to do before:
Get them acclimatized with travelling by taking them on short rides, that will also tell you if your pet has motion sickness.
As you decide to embark on your journey, keep their essentials handy- food, water, containers, any toys they prefer or any medication they require and so on.
