Guides for Flying With Your Dog
Step-by-step help for planning a flight with your dog. Every guide is built from the same official airline pages as our airline pet policies, and links back to them.
- The CDC Dog Import FormWhat every dog entering or returning to the U.S. needs, how to fill in the form, and the extra rules for high-risk countries.
- Pet passports for U.S. travelersWhy you can't get a pet passport in the U.S., what your dog needs instead, and how the EU pet passport works.
- Getting a USDA health certificateHow to get your pet's international health certificate from a USDA-accredited vet and endorsed by APHIS, with the fees and timing.
- How much it costs to fly a dogCabin pet fees for every airline we track, cheapest first, plus hold fees, large-dog options and paperwork costs.
- Flying with a large dogWhich airline gives your dog the most room under the seat, and your options when your dog is too big for the cabin.
- Airlines that fly dogs in the holdWhich airlines carry a dog as checked baggage or cargo, which ones never do, and what the hold costs where it is published.
More guides are on the way. Until then, each airline page has that airline's full rules and official sources.
