Brachycephalic, Aggressive Breeds and TemperatureEveryone loves pugs, Pekingese, and French bull dogs, but those dogs are actually restricted breeds when it comes to flying.  Snub-nosed dogs and cats are considered Brachycephalic which can lead to severe respiratory distress. Brachycephalic means snort headed.  They are all cute dogs and cats and a lot of people don’t realize it can be an issue when you decide to relocate or take a job in another country. A lot of the airlines have list of restricted breeds that are allowed to fly. Common examples of snub-nosed dogs and cats are English Bulldogs, French Bull Dogs, Pugs, Pekingese, Boston Terriers and king Charles spaniels, Persian cats, Scottish Fold cats, Himalayan, Bermese and British shorthair just to name a few.  Aggressive Breeds is something else that is restricted on airlines or what the airlines consider to be restricted.  Some countries even prohibited certain breeds from entering. Germany no longer allows Pitbull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, Staffordshire-Bullterrier or Bullterrier.  You can transit through the country, but not stay. You can usually call or google the airlines to see what the restrictions are for flying dogs, but most if not all have restricted breeds.Temperature is something else that has to be considered when shipping pets.  Most airlines have guidelines as to how cold and how hot it can be to ship your babies.  Airlines often require an Acclimation disclaimer or letter filled out by you and your vet with the max/min temperatures that are allowed.  Also, it includes the entire trip if there are layovers.  All the reasons above are why you need to contact World Pet Travel prior to making reservations to ship your babies to a new country.  They can tell you upfront what, when, where and how it is done.
