Dog Travel: Come Fly with me
By Coral Gwyn-Willams
It can be difficult to look into the soulful eyes of your beloved dog and say “Sorry pup, but you can’t come with me!” How many times have you made the heartbreaking decision to leave your adoring pet behind in a kennel or with friends or family while you go off to enjoy new places and adventures?

"Stay" or "Let's Go" can be an agonizing dilemma you face every time you say goodbye and leave your best pet friend to wonder if you will ever return. This article is ment to assist you in making sure your canine companions can accompany you wherever you may whether it’s across the country or across the globe.

You can find airlines, transport companies, rules and regulations, tips, shipping requirements and potential problems listed on our website. The goal with dog is to make your journey with your pet happy, healthy, safe and enjoyable for everyone in the family!

Many airlines do not permit pets to onboard in the cabin. The airlines that do often have size and weight requirements, some may be breed specific and it is always wise to check these particulars in advance. It is important to understand that there are inherent risks in flying your pet, especially if it is necessary to fly them in a cargo hold.

There are several airlines that will permit a smaller dog (or cat) to fly in the cabin with you when you fly. You will need to check each individual airline for their specific policy toward weight requirements (usually the combined weight of both pet and carrier). The following airlines provide some sort of pet capabilities. The list is subject to change so we advise you to contact the airline directly to make sure their policy toward pets is in concert with your pet’s needs and requirements.
