mariaandmike 12 Posted May 10, 2020 Really concerned about moving our dog overseas, as he comes under snub nosed dogs, has anyone moved a cavalier? I know there are factors like timing of flights, avoid certain times of year flying etc, Thanks in advance. Maria Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marisawright 6,587 Posted May 11, 2020 Best thing is to use a good pet moving agency. They should give you all the advice. Dogs dying in transit is rare. Snub-nosed dogs dying in transit is a bit less rare, but you've still got to be pretty unlucky for it to happen. It's expensive though - more than your own air fares.

VERYSTORMY 3,320 Posted May 11, 2020 Speak to Bob at Pet Air. You need to do this sooner rather than later as it isn’t a quick thing to do. It takes some months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobPetairUK 270 Posted May 21, 2020 Hi Maria and Mike Have a look here for more information. and be warned, it takes at least 7 months from start of the process to flight date - https://www.petairuk.com/destinations/taking-pets-to-australasia/australia/taking-dogs-to-australia/ In terms of your cavalier suffering problems on this journey - some airlines class them as snub nosed, but most dont. As Marisawright said, there are risk, but they are miniscule. As long as your boy is fit, healthy and lean, he has the same minimal risk as anyone.
