Does my dog’s weight play a role in his/her travel?

Oh yes, it majorly does. While your snub-nosed pooch’s cuddly appearance may be endearing, please note that healthy and fit pets have fewer medical conditions and make for better prepared travelers. Please bear in mind that obese or overweight dogs are at higher risk and far more vulnerable while flying. Should they get anxious, stressed, frenzied or overheated in any way, especially mid-flight, their airway can collapse and cut off air supply. We strongly recommend for you to visit an authorised health provider to analyze your pet’s weight and medical condition to ensure this doesn’t happen.
