Initiating Pet Travel
Pet space is very limited on AMC PE flights due to pressurized cargo hold limits and is booked on a first come, first serve basis. Spaces are available for booking 90 days prior to departure and must be reserved through your local transportation office (PCS orders are not required to make travel reservation). Passengers may request up to two (2) pet reservations per family. Pet transportation is at owner’s expense. Pets must be accompanied by their owner. Note – Pet movement aboard DoD organic aircraft is authorized for PCS moves only when such aircraft provide the only service to a location.
Kennel & Carrier Requirements
Your pet’s health and well being is our utmost concern. In accordance with FAA & AMC pet travel policy, in‐cabin pet kennels/carriers are treated like carry‐on baggage and will be stowed under the passenger seat and pets must remain in the container for the duration of the flight. You are responsible for providing an authorized kennel/carrier and ensuring your pet is transported in accordance with U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines. In‐cabin kennel/carrier size must not exceed 20” L x 16” W x 8.5” H to ensure it will fit under the seat in front of you. Kennels/carriers must be large enough for your pet to stand‐up, turn around, and lie down with normal posture and body movement. Pets will not be accepted in containers that are too small. Kennels must provide adequate ventilation on at least three sides. Soft‐sided carriers should be constructed of leak‐proof/water repellent padded nylon with mesh ventilation on at least two sides.

Pet Immigration
All pets, including service animals are subject to country quarantine procedures. Contact your local transportation office for specific immigration requirements to include pet quarantine and detention. Additional information is available in the “OCONUS Country Instructions” link located on the following website: https://move.mil/sme under the “Pets/Quarantine” section your destination country. When it is necessary
to detain an animal, pending a determination of admissibility, the traveler will provide detention facilities that are satisfactory to the quarantine officer. The passenger will bear the expense of such detention, including necessary examinations, vaccinations, and other expenses.
Travel Risks
All pets are susceptible to the risk of heat stroke, respiratory problems, hypoxia, and the possibility of death during travel. Pets traveling in larger
kennels must be loaded in the pressurized, temperature controlled cargo hold, which limits the number of pets on each aircraft to 4 to 10
depending on the type of aircraft and kennel sizes. The risk is increased for snub or pug nosed pets. For health and safety concerns, we recommend
pet owners discuss their pet’s susceptibility to these or other complications with a veterinarian prior to air transport and ensure pet kennels
have adequate ventilation.
