Flying from Los Angeles to San Francisco with your Pet

What documents do I need to fly my pet from Los Angeles to San Francisco?

Flying from Northern California to Southern California is very simple. Since you won't be crossing state lines. However, we still have safety protocols, your pet will still require their rabies jab, and both cities have strict local licensing laws. We recommend checking your airline's specific pet reservation availability 2–4 weeks before departure.

Step 1

Your dog

•
Be at least 8 weeks old on the day of travel (per federal airline safety regulations).
•
Appear healthy and be capable of handling the flight without distress.

Step 2

Documents and vaccinations

•
Fit-to-fly sign off: we require your vet to examine your pet to ensure they are fit to fly. This should be done within 10 days of your flight. Visit your document portal to find the document template to give to your vet.
