Thread: Frenchie Travel

Hi everyone,

First off, I just joined the site, so hello!

I was just hoping somebody might be able to give me some advice on something that has been playing on my mind a bit lately. First off, I live in China so what I am about to tell you may seem a bit....odd based on how things may be done back home (UK).

I just bought a 5 month old fawn french bulldog (called Nero) from a very good friend, who happens to live on the South side of China.
So, he mentioned that their dogs are couriered around China using Fedex or something similar alllll the time, but I am aware that the courier are going to fly him (BUT I have read stories about how commercial airlines won't fly this and similar breeds of dog due to their stress levels and possibility of overheating).
The flight he will be taking with the courier is just under two hours, and I presume since the courier offer the service here, he wouldn't be in that kind of danger/environment.

If this is indeed the case, my question is, is there anything I can do in advance to still make him feel more comfortable flying, such as getting him ready, considering cooled things in his crate to keeping him cooler, keeping him busy with a toy or something etc? Also, has anyone had experience of flying with a frenchie before?

I am new here, so gladly appreciate any advice you can offer.


Thanks in advance
