Repatriating back to the USA

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

I think you've already answered your own question regarding snub-nosed breeds; many airlines won't carry a dog in the cabin long-haul at all and the UK industry does not recognise companion dogs.

Your best bet is to identify which US-flagged airlines operate direct flights into the UK, then contact them and see if they provide the service you are looking for, but I think you may have to send them in the cargo hold.

Probably not what you want to hear, but I hope it helps a bit.

Hello,
My wife and I are currently trying to repatriate back to the United States from the United Kingdom. The issue we seem to be running in to is we have 2 dogs and are unable to fly them (one is a 17 year old puggle and the other is a French Bulldog, as they are both brachycephalic (snub nosed) breeds we are finding many airlines have banned flying them or force them into the cargo hold.
Alternatively if anyone has any other ideas we are open to them.

Hello,

Why don't you contact companies specializing in the transport of animals?
