Imagine your pet, injured, bleeding, with hypothermia, soaked in urine and vomit with missing teeth or swollen gums or even worse — killed. This is a harsh reality of travel on airlines for many pet owners.

Lisa Kelly, pet travel specialist and speaker, owner of Kitty Condos and inventor/developer of Dryfur Pet products, both under the umbrella of KC Pet Products, LLC., is highly dissatisfied that many airlines simply accept any standard small animal carrier, regardless of faulty mechanics or even missing hardware that easily harms and kills countless animals each year.

An active member of the International Pet Animal Transportation Association and an animal advocate, Kelly, being a successful entrepreneur and inventor, has developed a free Safety Checklist specific for airline travel that is free for download at her website.

A simple search on airline reports will bring a shocking reality to the surface as the horrid tales unfold of injured, missing or killed animals that occurs while traveling.

Kelly, who is entrusted to take care of pets, almost a hundred a day, for owners, has a deep passion for helping pet owners provide safety for their pets.

The first leading cause of injury, loss or death is faulty carriers. The second leading cause of injury or death has been extreme heat or cold.

Lisa Kelly warns owners not to let their cat or dog become one of these rare airline incidents. Kelly is looking for stories that people would like to share on their pet and travel for site publication. Lisa Kelly, who has been featured on broadcast news and talk shows, is also available nationally to speak or be interviewed on pet safety and pet travel, and is a Pet Travel Safety Specialist.
