Airlines Allowing Transportation of Dogs with Short Noses

Dogs with short noses, such as pugs, French bulldogs, and boxers, may experience breathing difficulties, especially during air travel. Many airlines impose restrictions or completely prohibit transporting these breeds due to health risks.

However, some airlines allow the transportation of dogs with short noses, provided specific rules and recommendations are followed.

What to Consider Before Booking a Flight

1. Research the Airline: Check if the airline permits the transportation of your dog's breed.

2. Specific Requirements: Some airlines may require a veterinary certificate confirming the good health of the animal before the flight.

3. Carrier Dimensions: Ensure the carrier meets airline standards and is spacious enough for your dog.

Airlines That Accept Dogs with Short Noses

1. Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines – Allows transportation of dogs only in the cabin under specific conditions.

2. Vueling and Iberia – Accepts dogs in the cabin depending on weight and size.

3. KLM – Allows dogs in the cabin, but only one pet per flight. Pets cannot travel in Premium or Business Class due to insufficient space for carriers.

4. Eurowings – Allows dogs only in the cabin; pets are not accepted in the cargo hold.

5. Sky Express and Tap Portugal – Accepts dogs with short noses in the cabin but only for short domestic flights.

Tips for Safe Travel

• Book a morning or evening flight to avoid heat.

• Ensure your dog stays hydrated but avoid feeding them before the flight.

• Use a well-ventilated carrier.

Traveling with a dog with a short nose can be challenging, but with proper planning and choosing the right airline, it can be done safely.
