Pet Safety on Private Jets: Equipment

Quite a bit earlier on I discussed the importance of feeling free to ask your crew to cater specifically for your pet and make the flight fun for your pet. Last time I got down to the importance of a pre-flight briefing to make sure everyone knew what to do to best care for the pet on board in the event of turbulence or an emergency. A few simple preparations make all the difference. A few pieces of safety equipment can make all of the difference too.

All Sit 'n Stay Global cabin attendants carry pet flotation devices complete with handle on top. We also carry pet oxygen masks in 3 sizes that will accommodate pets using portable oxygen bottles on the aircraft or may be utilized by emergency first responders. These two items can make an immense difference in your pet's odds in an emergency. We are also certified in Pet First Aid and Pet CPR to handle small health problems that occur until we can reach a vet.

Let's face it, you make sure all of this is taken into consideration for every passenger you bring on the aircraft, why not for your pet as well? We all know your pet is an equally important member of your family, so let's treat them that way.

Sit back and relax and enjoy your next trip on a private jet with your best friend in the cabin with you knowing that he or she will be both safe and have fun. When we serve Fido his favorite dish, he'll never know we ever gave any of this a thought. It will be our secret... right down to the Frosty Paws!

Upgraded Safety Protocols for Pets on Private Jets
By David CastilloSeptember 1, 2010
[Sit 'n Stay press release] — Carol Martin, head of Sit ‘n Stay Global LLC, and leading pet travel expert, announced new guidelines for flying with pets aboard private jets. The procedures will help cabin crews and owners deal with the unique situation of having pets in the cabin of their jets.

“One of the nice things about traveling by private jet is sharing the trip with your best friend. This can also mean considering some new pre-flight and in-flight procedures to protect your pet while on board. Not to mention taking care of your investment in the aircraft.” Martin said.

A few of these considerations start with a pre-flight briefing that includes bracing positions for your pet depending on size and location in the cabin. Another requirement is a size appropriate car harness attached to your pet’s designated seat with a blanket draped over the seat to secure your pet during turbulence. The blanket helps protect that nice buttery leather from Fido’s claws which he will use for traction and also aids in evacuating an injured pet. These are just a sample of issues to be covered before your flight to make sure your flight is safe and relaxing. Just as too many pets have been lost in cargo holds of commercial aircraft, too many have died or been injured unnecessarily in the cabins of private jets because they were improperly secured in the cabin.

She added, “Our business is providing cabin crews that are trained, not only in the highest safety, culinary and service standards of private flight attendants, but also how to insure the flight goes smoothly with Fido along.”

Sit ‘n Stay Global is a national pet “nanny” and pet sitting organization that provides discreet, secure and loving care to each client’s best friend on board the aircraft, at the destination or in the client’s home.
