Has anyone aired a Great Dane to Costa Rica before?? by donnago

Me and my husband are thinking about moving to Costa Rica in a couple of years, we have 3 dogs but 1 of them is a Great Dane and is around 115lbs I'm concerned if the airlines will take a animal this big? Has anyone aired a Great Dane to Costa Rica ...

Vikki RIggle

We're stumped too. DHL told me the same thing, no animals. I saw pictures of plastic crates with wooden inserts to make them taller. Is that what you're calling extenders? Read More
