Under a proposed rule change, any airline with a plane that holds more than 60 seats would have to report pet-related incidents.

The DOT also may require airlines to list the total number of animals that were lost, injured las vegas sightseeing tours or died during flights as well as the number of pets transported each year.
"The number of pets they handle is surprising," says Susan Smith of PetTravel.com. "One incident makes social media and it's just not a good thing and it's very sad but you have to sign liabilities when you put your pet in the cargo hold and it's a chance that you take."
Smith says that airlines have been making las vegas sightseeing tours changes to meet pet owners' needs and get a bigger slice of the $50 billion consumers spend on pets each year.

"I'm not sure if airlines imagined five years ago that [pet travel] would become the business that it has," says Smith. "We are a mobile world. They are moving and want to bring pets. I hope airlines can continue to carry these pets and continue to focus on these safety standards.""
