destination but it's not the safest type of travel for
your furry friend. It can even be dangerous for
certain breeds with short snouts (pugs, bulldogs,
Chihuahuas, and Persian cats) causing the animal
more to be susceptible to oxygen deprivation.
It's extremely important to visit your vet prior to
travel ensuring they are up to date on all
necessary vaccinations and are healthy enough to
make the trip.
