• Restricted Articles or Dangerous Goods like inflammables, explosives, radioactive materials and corrosive substances like acids that may endanger the safe operations of the flight.
• Livestock, Live Animals and Plants are shipment that need special attention and care.

Embargo of Brachycephalic dog breed as Cargo on all PAL Flights.

Brachycephalic describes any animal with flat snout and whose lower jaw sticks out disproportionately longer than its upper jaw. Because of these features, brachycephalic or snub-nosed dogs tend to suffer from certain health problems. Breathing normally is commonly a struggle for these dogs. Their shortened and narrow airways result in labored breathing as they continually struggle to cope with lack of oxygen in their bloodstream making them susceptible to secondary heart problems. Because of their inability to regulate their body temperature through panting (as most dogs do), they are more likely to suffer body overheat.

List of brachycephalic dog breeds including its cross breeds:

Affenpinscher	Chow Chow	Pug (all breeds)
Boerboel	Dogue de Bordeaux	Rottweiler
Boston Terrier	English Toy	Shar Pei
Boxer	French Bulldog	Shih Tzu
Brussels Griffon	Griffon Bruxellois	Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Bulldog	Japanese Chin	Tibetan spaniel
Bullmastiff	King Charles Spaniel	Tosa
Cane Corso	Lhasa Apso	Valley Bulldog
Cavalier King Charles	Mastiff (all breeds)	Yorkshire Terrier
Chihuahua (appleheaded)	Pekingese

Since these animals are susceptible to increased risk of heat stroke and breathing problems when exposed to stress or heat, all brachycephalic or mixed-breeds of snub-nosed dogs will not be accepted for transport as cargo on ALL PAL DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS.

Note: This restriction does not apply to service and emotional support dogs with the passenger in the cabin. Only dogs excluded in the list will be accepted for air transport.
