Pets in Cargo
All other pets are only accepted as cargo and are not permitted within the aircraft cabin or as checked baggage. The Etihad Cargo team can take care of the transportation of your pets, horses and other animals. Their cargo service transports pets to/from airplanes in climate controlled vehicles. All pets are then moved to climate-controlled, pressurized compartments on board the aircraft. Cats and dogs are temporarily housed in larger kennels when not in transit. Each animal requires different documentation depending on type and the final destination and country of origin. However, you will definitely need to have a health certificate, an import /Export permit, Vaccination proof, and a pet Passport.
