Flying with your dog

Flying with your dog: every airline, every destination

The airline decides the cabin process; the destination decides the paperwork. Pick your airline for the exact process, pick your country for the entry rules, or let Paws on Board turn your whole trip into one checklist with deadlines.

By airline

Every major U.S. airline uses the same two DOT forms, but they differ on how much notice they need and where you submit.

By destination

Every country sets its own entry rules for dogs, and they apply whether your dog flies as a pet or as a service dog. Pick your destination for the vaccines, the certificate, a realistic timeline, and what it takes to come home.
