Has anyone moved to the Dominican from Canada with small dogs? What were the implications? Which airline, could they travel in the cabin with you? Did you have any problems on arrival? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Thanks
Westjet is year round. AA flight I took was far longer than the 4 hours flight to Canada on Westjet. Time for travel is important to a travelling dog. While I suppose attitude is a matter of timing, I can tell you the Westjet crew have been consistently dog friendly for my travels.
If the dog flies below... as baggage... there are restrictions....Oct 31 to May 1...... no summer flying

I fly westjet regularly and they fly once a week at times but from three airports so three flights depart the DR weekly in low season. I have never experienced a stop over in miami and never heard of that one. Have only flown out of El Catey for the last while and that flight is a direct flight to canada and only 4 hours. The fact that they do not land in the US is an advantage for several reasons.Yes Westjet travels year round, but in the off season months, only fly once a week. The time is more, but the break in Miami is not long, however, if you don't know how your dogs will travel, a direct flight might be better.

Hi William,Heavily talked about here.... search it.
Entry is easy w./ your vaccinations, etc and 300+/- pesos
WestJet is $50 in the cabin..... one per passenger
Not sure about Air canada
AA is $150 each way........ $$$$$$$$
Consensus here is that below is easier on the dog.... less stress/activity........ same price.
Everything matters...the dog's size, the carrier's size, the airline's rules, etc. The best thing to do is to check with your airline for specifics. The US also has very specific rules about international animal shipping so I assume Canada does, too. And so does the DR. Every single bit of factual information you need is online somewhere on the web (not DR1). The people here with experience can give you annecdotal information about their experience and their specific pets, but you need to check for factual information for yourself. No shortcuts. You don't want to have any misunderstandings when you arrive at the airport with your "family" members (your pets) and have to leave them behind or suddenly arrange for putting them in the cargo area. Also, most airlines have a limit to the number of animals in the cabin so you have to make a reservation for the animals as well as the people! And you need to correct paperwork. Do your homework yourself. No offense, but it is important to know for sure what the rules are ....
