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.
