What are the precautionary air travel measures for snub-nosed dogs?

A few surface precautionary measures would include onboarding an experienced pet relocation partner who can confirm the steps, measures, getting all of the relevant paperwork and tests done, ensuring a health certificate and so on.

Secondly, securing a booking with a pet-friendly airline – this is also where we come in where we’re happy to guide you to the right airline that has experience in flying snub-nosed dogs and validate that the cargo hold is temperature controlled. If possible, we would always advise for you to give your pet the in-cabin experience so that your presence acts as a natural pacifier for your pet.

Other measures would include a visit to the vet, ensuring that your pet is healthy and at a normal weight, getting an accurately-sized crate that will be large enough to provide adequate air supply during the flight and practicing training techniques over a fair period of time along with choosing the best time to travel.
