A healthy pet should be able to fly safely. Elderly or ill pets may be at risk due to the stress associated with travel. You should speak to your veterinarian if you have concerns about flying with your pet. Plan your trip to minimize stops along the way and to arrive during the coolest time of day in hot climates. Airlines may have some restrictions on flying with pets traveling under the plane in extreme weather conditions.
Breeds with flat or "short-nosed" facial structures (e.g., Pugs, Bulldogs) face elevated health risks during air transport due to inherent respiratory vulnerabilities.
