A Zurich to Davos enquiry may carefully describe a pet carrier while overlooking everything packed for the animal’s stay. Bedding, bowls and supplies can fill another substantial bag. Build the transport request from the complete set of objects, then obtain confirmation for the animal and the load.
Separate animal information from luggage
State that a pet is travelling and describe the carrier you intend to use, including its outside dimensions. Add the number and type of pets as relevant to the enquiry. Then list the supplies bag, any bedding carried separately and the passengers’ own cases. Do not assume that permission to bring an animal includes unrestricted extra luggage or a particular storage location. Ask for the actual proposed arrangement to be confirmed.
Use one manageable supplies system
Pack the items you have chosen for the stay into clearly identified containers. Keep anything you may need during the road journey in an organised, accessible bag, and discuss any planned stop in advance. Describe bulky bedding in its packed form rather than its size when spread out. If it will be compressed inside a suitcase, record that honestly; if it will remain separate, give it its own place in the inventory.
Confirm every provider separately
For air travel, consult the operating airline’s animal guidance before making assumptions about carrier acceptance. SWISS publishes specific instructions for travelling with animals, which should be checked directly when relevant to your flight. The accommodation and road-transfer arrangements also need their own confirmation. A hotel accepting a pet does not establish what the airline or vehicle provider can accommodate, and the same carrier description should be used consistently across your enquiries.
Repack before the return assessment
Used supplies may reduce the luggage volume, while purchases made during the stay may increase it elsewhere. Pack the actual return load before deciding that nothing has changed. Check that the animal’s equipment and each passenger’s items are included in the final count, then update the transfer team if necessary. At the Davos pickup, keep the agreed contact available so that practical questions can be resolved with the person who knows the booking.

No. Obtain separate confirmation for the animal and equipment in the road transfer.
Should I assume a stop is included for the pet?
No. Explain the request and agree the arrangement before the journey.
