and another thing, its not a direct flight, so not only while the dog endure at 7 hour flight, it will have to go back in a plane for another 2 hours. doesnt seem fair for the dog 2 me.

ps. no food and water, even if you leave it in there it will drink and eat everthing at the start of the flight

Answer 1

Absolutely not!! Bulldogs should never travel by plane during the summer months! People are dying because of the heat wave- a bulldog doesn't stand a chance. Most airlines actually have a policy that they won't fly brachycephalic breeds.
I live in Florida and we recently had a client that flew their dog. It was not alive when they landed. Another time and another client had the dog get loose and died on the tarmac because no one went after it when it got loose- the airlines fault.

HEAT STRESS - Because of all these upper respiratory obstructions, the brachycephalic dog is an inefficient panter. A dog with a more conventional face and throat is able to pass air quickly over the tongue through panting. Saliva evaporates from the tongue as air is passed across and the blood circulating through the tongue is efficiently cooled and circulated back to the rest of the body.

In the brachycephalic dog, so much extra work is required to move the same amount of air that the airways become inflamed and swollen. This leads to a more severe obstruction, distress, and further over-heating.

BRACHYCEPHALIC DOGS ARE THE MOST
LIKELY CANDIDATES FOR HEAT STROKE.

Altogether, the upper airways of the brachycephalic dog compromises his or her ability to take in air. Under normal conditions the compromise is not great enough to cause a problem; however, an owner should take care not to let the dog become grossly overweight or get too hot in the Summer months.

Answer 2

Depends on the situation and the dog. Can the dog handle the stress? Is this a permanent move for the owner? Does the airline have a good record for shipping animals? Is it a direct flight? What are the quarantine laws upon arrival? Is the weather cool enough for safe travel for the dog (airlines will not ship if it is too hot or cold)? Note that it is dangerous to sedate a dog for travel and most airlines will not permit it (they need to be able to recognize if the dog becomes ill). If the situation can't be avoided, it isn't so terrible. In perspective, dogs are adaptable creatures, and there are hundreds of thousands of dogs with worse situations and lives than a bulldog who has to travel on a plane (i.e. living their lives in kennels, being put down in shelters, backyard dogs, etc.).

Answer 3

You need to check into what the laws are in the other country about quarantine. Usually its 10 days. I would not allow my dog to be in quarantine, or put him in the belly of a plane where it gets really really cold. So my answer is NO. Good Luck.

Answer 4

Comrade Josh, with the aid of organic catastrophe, or with the aid of act of aggression from that u . s .. If I keep in mind, Australia already had an evacuation from Bali, some years in the past, i think of it exchange into some bombing. On board the plane have been additionally Canadians that Australia exchange into variety sufficient to look after additionally. It does no longer be emergency airplane tickets, it may be evacuation with the aid of the two militia or commercial shape with the aid of order of the government. i do no longer keep in mind those voters being charged.

Answer 5

It depends are you traveling with your dog? Are you going for an extended period of time? Do you have to sedate your dog to fly? Do you need additional shots for your dog to travel? Will your dog be required to stay in quarantine until clearance is issued?

Answer 6

No, its cold, and loud and realy rough in the baggage compartment and many dogs get sick and some even die.If the cage is small enough they might let you stickit under your seat.

Answer 7

Tough question. My dog came from Germany. He was delivered healthy & happy so I guess it is ok. I worried about him the whole time & hadn't even met him yet.

Answer 8

No, because the dog would feel cramed and would want be outside of a cage.
