Is Pet Travel In The Cargo Hold Really Safe?

One of the biggest concerns of pet owners is how safe it is to travel by air with their pets. With very few exceptions, pets generally travel in the aircraft cargo hold, a designated area to accommodate pets during flight. One may think of a cargo hold as a dark and bulky storage space for luggage. However, it isn’t just a luggage storage area; it is a well-lit, pressurized, and temperature-controlled area specially designed for pets.
