Bulldog!

[Rubbidydub]

Hi All

 

Has anyone or does anyone no of people who have taken a Bulldog to Aus? We have a Bulldog "Margot" and have had a few quotes from animal carriers some have come back with negative responses saying that Cathay Pacific only fly bulldogs because all other airlines are non stop flights and wont allow short nose dogs on their flights.

 

Bulldogs are high maintenance and im wondering if the flight of 24 hours and the lack of no human interaction would affect her. If anyone has any info or experience it would be great to hear from you

 

Thanks on advance

You have limited options with flying a bulldog as many airlines refuse to carry them long haul now. Only a couple do so over to Aus. There is an increased risk due to overheating for these sorts of dogs.

 

Have a look at this thread as it was recently discussed

Hi

Thanks for the reply! Still not sure what to do though! so much for and so much against!

My friend bought her Bulldog over from Canada with no problems! My friends boy doesn't do much so lying down in a crate for hours wasn't much different to what he normally does! He is an American Bulldog though so his features are not as strong as the English kind.....I think it depends on the general health of your dog and how bully he is (as in his regular breathing)....the crates and the holding on the plane are well ventilated and of normal room temperature.
