United PetSafe: Who’s There When You Can’t Be?

As much as you may want to be with your pet through every leg of the journey, sometimes it’s just not possible. In this case, you want to be sure your pet is in the hands of a qualified, capable and loving staff. Fortunately, United’s PetSafe program only brings your pet into contact with the type of handlers and caregivers you would approve and choose yourself.

The first people your pet will meet are the staff involved in the pet acceptance process. These folks are United employees with a passion for animal care, who are looking to fulfill a role at the company which allows them to express this. By using a custom-designed checklist, PetSafe ensures all the safety and legal policies to provide a safe and comfortable journey for your pet. This includes confirming the travel crate is suitable for flight and verifying that all the necessary health certificates and other documents needed for international travel are in order.

During lengthy connection times, when it’s time for your pet to be walked, watered or fed, you can be certain that these tasks will also be handled by an animal lover specially trained in pet care.

The same level of care extends to the on-site kennel facilities, where your pet may need to stay during a lengthy or overnight connection.The professional kennel staff includes access to trained vet technicians, and veterinary care is also available if any issues arise. By working together, PetSafe staff safely transport your pet to its destination, ensuring they are healthy and happy when you’re reunited with them.

From the beginning of your pet’s travel experience right until they’re back in your arms, you can rest assured they’re in capable, loving hands.
