Transporting Brachycephalic Dog Breeds (‘Brachy’ or Snub-nosed)
Some brachy breeds experience issues with flying because they are more sensitive to changes in air quality and to the temperature in the hold of the plane. This is why many airlines choose not to fly them. The good news is that road transport is also a safe alternative for snub-nosed breeds.
Common Brachy breeds we transport:
Boxer
French Bulldog
Cavalier King Charles
Pug
Boston Terrier
English Bulldog
Mastiff
American Bulldog
Neapolitan Mastiff
Shih Tzu
Brussels Griffon
Japanese Chin
Pekingese
Lhasa Apso

Approved Qantas Shipper and IPATA Member
The transport of our smaller companions has become a highlight of air travel lately and airlines have taken very important steps on the road to ensuring that we make every journey as safe as possible for them.
One of these changes is the move by Qantas to impose restrictions on people exporting these types of pets. Qantas are now insisting upon shippers being IPATA approved and therefore Qantas approved shippers of these types of animals.
This means shippers have to adhere to a strict set of rules to ensure the safety of our fluffy friends.
Dogtainers has been a long standing member of IPATA and upholds the highest standards for the pet travel industry. With us you can be sure that your flat faced friend will have the best possible journey, domestically or internationally.
You can find Qantas specific information on the subject here.
