Because of the growing number of in-flight disturbances resulting from pets and service animal passengers, major airlines in the US have imposed new restrictions. Some airlines may ask for documentation from your physician prescribing your need for animal support.

United Airlines allows rabbits and birds in the passenger cabin but no longer accepts ferrets to be with their owners. On the other hand, Delta Airlines has adopted stricter rules in that they now refuse emotional support animals on flights that last more than 8 hours.

Just because these restrictions are in place, doesn’t mean you can no longer bring your assistance animal or pet with you. What you can do is check new exclusions for each airline and make sure to book early (because the number of animals on a flight are limited).

The ACVO/StokesRx National Service Animal Eye Exam is a yearly event that offers free eye examinations to service animals and working animals. These eye examinations greatly benefit assistance animals and their owners in that they ensure that the animals can perform their job well.

Since 2014, Cornell veterinary ophthalmologists have participated in this event along with other institutions. Dogs that were screened by Cornell’s veterinary hospital included those that detected blood glucose changes, provided therapy, assisted with mobility, seeing-eye dogs, and more.

One of the patients that got screened was a female English springer spaniel named Cachet. She’s a therapy dog that visits residents in nursing care facilities.

Julie Chapman has experienced being in an abusive relationship in the past and she also happens to love animals. Now, she’s currently building a shelter that will help women who are in abusive situations be able to escape and provide a safe place for their pets.

According to Chapman, “There are a lot of different things going on which prevent women from leaving domestic violence and not wanting to leave their animals behind is one of them.”

Chapman’s efforts resulted from the survey which revealed that over 50% of people who were interviewed refuse to leave their partner because they are afraid to leave their beloved pets behind.

Currently, over $28,000 has been donated to create the shelter. To learn more, visit https://www.petrefuge.org.nz/.

May 20 was National Rescue Dog Day, according to National Day Calendar. It’s a special day where we get to remember and appreciate the things that rescue dogs do for people with disabilities and the elderly to make their lives better.

Rescue dogs help in many ways. They don’t just help you to become more independent by serving as your eyes and ears, but they also offer comfort and friendship. In school settings, rescue dogs have the ability to teach children about kindness and caring for others.

To observe National Rescue Dog Day, some people would volunteer at local shelters and consider giving a rescue dog a forever home.

Paula Bavill, a nurse, purchased Pongo two years ago without realizing that he would end up providing emotional support for her. Pongo is her pet skunk. Bavill suffers from mental health issues and because of that, she’s unable to attend gatherings and events.

According to Bavill, Pongo has the ability to relax her mind and help her focus better. Before Bavill came, she would easily get overwhelmed with loud noises when going out in public. As someone who owns ferrets, she says that she wants something different from a typical cat or dog for an emotional support animal.

A charity spokesman from a mental health foundation acknowledges the importance of pets in motivating, calming people, and making sure that they get to exercise.
