Don’t Even think about shipping a sedated pet
Today I picked up a dog- collie - to ship to Milwaukee. Owner and I had a very tight conversation yesterday about the fact that the vet had approved a sedative for the pet. I advised the client not to even tell me about that because I did not ship sedated pets. They went into this long explanation about how it was o.k.-the vet said it was fine.
I took the dog to the airline this morning. Dog looked drunk when I picked it up from the client. Airline noticed the authorization on the health document to allow pet to be sedated. He and I both looked at each other and shook our heads. Airline was advised. Dog was shipped. I have been worried all day about the dog. Poor baby. Owner should have taken the medication and lett the poor pup alone.
Most airlines will not even allow a sedated pet. It is not good for them!
