Getting there with your dog

You can travel by plane (compare airlines that accept dogs). Plan the trip with our dog flight checker and, for the hold, size the crate with the IATA crate calculator.

Practical tips

Plan ahead: most refusals come from a missing document or a missed deadline (a vaccine that’s too recent, a rabies titer test, a tapeworm treatment outside its window). Put together a file with every supporting document, and keep a copy. Also prepare your dog for the trip — see our advice on travel anxiety and the first aid kit.
