Final answer:
Prior to an international landing, passengers must fill out DOT-developed forms for their animals, covering health, behavior, and training, possibly 48 hours before travel or at the departure gate.
Step-by-step explanation:
The form that must be filled out prior to an international landing, particularly when traveling with an animal, is developed by the Department of Transportation (DOT). These forms include documentation attesting to the animal’s health, behavior, and training. For passengers with a Seeing Eye-certified or other officially trained dog, providing these forms should not be a problem. Airlines have specific requirements, and these forms may need to be submitted as early as 48 hours before travel or may be required at the departure gate. It is important for travelers to be aware of these regulations and ensure all necessary documentation is in order before their flight.
