Dr. Jeff, as he is known to his clients in Hollywood stated, " I have been a tremendous supporter of Pet Airways from its launch of flight operations in 2009. I recommend Pet Airways to my pet clientele and several have flown on Pet Airways." The concept of a pet airline where pets fly in the main cabin, in air-conditioned comfort, and monitored by a trained pet attendant is a natural extension of providing care for pets" said Dr. Jeff. "I am thrilled to be part of the Pet Airways Team."
Dr. Jeff continues, "In my practice, I am continually asked about flying pets in cargo holds of passenger airplanes. Many Veterinarians including myself feel that cargo holds are just too unsafe. You never know what conditions your pet is experiencing. It can be quite stressful for pets, especially those that are sensitive to extreme heat or cold, lack of fresh cool air or who may be a little anxious. Until Pet Airways, there was no option but to use these cargo services".
Dan Wiesel, Chairman and CEO of Pet Airways said, "Knowing that the Pet Airways staff will be trained and advised by an experienced and well respected Veterinarian like Dr. Jeff, is a great relief to pet parents, especially with the recent news regarding the death of pets placed in cargo. Many airlines, now limit certain breeds in cargo due to these incidents. Our pawsengers™ fly in the main cabin, and our In-Flight Pet Attendant continuously monitors them during the flight."
