Kirsty M Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 We are planning on moving back to the UK later this year and don't want to leave our 3 year old pug behind. Has anyone recently taken a brachycephalic breed back to the UK and which airline did you use? I remember a thread about Air Canada being the only option. Does anyone have any helpful advice? Not to be defensive, but I'm not after opinions on whether it's a good idea or not, I trust our vet to help with that. :xmas23: TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hi Tia I have heard and read it can be difficult to find an airline willing to fly them. We have just bought a 13mth old Bristish Bulldog from a family who are returning to the UK and had been advised not to fly him. I hope you can sort something as it must be a heartbreaking decision to make if you cant. Good Luck Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsty M Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yes, it's a bit of a worry. I don't want to take her at any cost but she is young and healthy...fingers crossed we get the nod from the vet and find an airline to take her!

BobPetairUK Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Dear Kirsty Yes she is a cutey. Totally do-able we have flown lots of pugs and they travel nicely. Definitely contact one of the shippers in Australia - try dogtainers or petcarriers. Maybe Air Canada back in, or KLM. If you need any more help give us a shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
