Breed travel check: banned and restricted breeds
Quick answer
Some breeds cannot travel everywhere: many airlines refuse snub-nosed breeds in the hold, and a number of countries ban or restrict dog breeds they classify as dangerous. Choose your pet's breed to see the airlines and countries in our rules base that refuse or restrict it.
How this tool works
We look the breed up in the airline and country breed lists of our rules base and show every match with its type of restriction. Airline lists change often; confirm with the airline before booking.
Rules base last updated 28 September 2026. Screening tool, not legal or veterinary advice.
Questions people ask
Many restrictions also cover crosses of the listed breeds. Choose the closest breed and check the restriction details.
