Sometimes you have to visit your friends or relatives without much time for making preparations. Your only problem seems to be what to do with your pet. You can either leave it at your home or bring it with you. Traveling with your pet is easier than you think.

You can bring your pet with you by using air travel services. These services fall into two groups, in a cabin（客舱）and cargo. In-cabin pets must be small enough to fit into a carrier that will be placed under the seat in front of you. Pets too large to fit comfortably into a carrier must travel in a cargo. Cargo holds are heated or cooled, just like the passenger area.

Pet passengers require a reservation（预约）, whether traveling in a cabin or cargo. Airlines have rules about the number of pets they will carry in order to ensure travel safety for all. So making your pet's reservation as you buy your ticket is a good idea. Of course, you should pay extra charges for both in-cabin and in-cargo pets.

Buy a health certificate from your vet（兽医）. A health certificate is only good for ten days, so if your visit is longer than that, you will have to buy another health certificate for the return trip.

As mentioned, your in-cabin pet will need a carrier. These soft-sided carriers come in several sizes, so buy or borrow one that allows your pet plenty of room. Some of these can be bought with wheels to make transport through the airport easier; these also reduce "pet space" under the airplane seat. But pets traveling in a cargo need hard-sided carriers.
