Well done, you made it to our last chapter in which we will briefly discuss how to travel with a service dog.

Emotional Support Dogs
These dogs can travel in the cabin as long as they are kept inside a soft carrier that weighs between 8 kg / 17 lbs.
The carrier must not exceed 40 cm x 33 cm x 17 cm.

Before the journey, it is necessary to ensure that the service dog or the emotional support dogs comply with all the health regulations in force in the country to which you’re traveling to.
Unfortunately, dogs that do not conform to all the requirements will not be allowed to travel.
Make sure to double check with the embassy before booking your flight.
If your emotional support dog is a brachycephalic (that is, with a crushed snout) he may not be allowed on board due to possible respiratory problems caused by the airplane’s high pressure.
