Here’s the research I’ve already done:
He’s a snub nosed dog so he’s not allowed underneath the planes in cargo due to risk of death. But he’s freaking dense so he’s not allowed in most cabins because they have a 15 lb weight limit.
United Airlines seems to have a size limit for dogs in the cabin, but no weight limit. However, both on the website and the app, when I search for transatlantic flights, I get error messages.
I also researched some cargo pet transport companies but I’d be looking at $3k each direction.
Our starting city is San Diego and our destination is Formentera, Spain. But if we could find a way to transport him from San Diego to anywhere in Spain or France, we could go the rest of the way by train so that would work just fine.
Im guessing this is at the very least a long term (months rather than weeks) move and thats why you arent just putting the dog in a doggy hotel or with family. If thats the case while i dont have experience crossing oceans with animals i do know even to cross state lines you need lots of paperwork for your animal so make sure thats in order. As for getting there if you havent bought your plane tickets yet it might be worth looking at chartering a small private plane for the flight. If you take into account all the costs it may not be that much more expensive and youd be able to bring the dog with you on the plane probably. Good luck figuring it out.
Fact check: You only need proof of a rabies vaccine and a recent vet checkup in practically every state to transport a dog across state lines. Most states specifically exempt tourist’s dog that are temporary and stay on leash outside. Hawaii, being an island with a delicate ecosystem, is the only state to require a quarantine.
What are you on about? When did i say anything about a quarantine i literally said you need paperwork and you just specified what paperwork you need? How is that a fact check?
You said something that sounded false, so I looked it up. You’d boardly misinterpreted and sensationalized the regulations about traveling with a dog across states lines so much that what you said was not true the way you said it. That’s a fact check.
