Pet Travel Information
Relocation can be stressful for any pet even under the right conditions. Most pups love adventures however a long plane ride with thousands of unknown sights, sounds, and smells can put a strain on them. Many dogs take air travel as emotional and physical stress.
For flat-face breeds, air travel comes with additional challenges. These breeds have risks even while traveling in a car. Moreover, we listed some conditions that can make traveling stressful for flat-faced dogs.
Breathing issues
It is the most obvious issue in flat-faced breeds. Flat-face pet parents know that their loving pooch has difficulty breathing. These breeds have cramped nasal anatomy thus air does not flow perfectly. This automatically increases the potential issues while traveling via air. Even with the added ventilation in an oversized crate, your dog may have to deal with breathing issues. This further increases their anxiety.
Heat and humidity
We all know that planes are temperature-controlled, however, pets have to travel to and from the plane. Although they are loaded last and off-loaded first, they need to spend some time outside. The tarmac gets even hotter when the temperature increases and it maximizes the risk for pets. The situation becomes even worse for the flat-faced breeds as the heat and humidity trigger their breathing issues. Experts recommend not opting for pet relocation in Dubai if the temperature is too high.
Old age
Old dogs are more prone to stress as they have to deal with existing health issues. Moreover, older dogs often suffer from arthritis and other kinds of organ failure. Thus, if your flat-faced pet is also aged, they will have more risks while relocating.
Weight
Many pets get overweight to the point of obesity. This aggravates all pets’ health issues regardless of their breed. For brachycephalic dogs and cats, obesity even increases risks while traveling.
What else can increase the risk?
Don’t tranquilize your dog or cat before relocation or travel. Sedation can decrease blood pressure as well as breathing. It can also interfere with balance and cognition which makes the pets confused and unable to control their movements. All of these things can put your loving pet in danger.
