How does one transport a 25 lb French Bulldog across the Atlantic? (self.asklemmy)

Here's the research I've already done:

He's a snub nosed dog so he's not allowed underneath the planes in cargo due to risk of death. But he's freaking dense so he's not allowed in most cabins because they have a 15 lb weight limit.

United Airlines seems to have a size limit for dogs in the cabin, but no weight limit. However, both on the website and the app, when I search for transatlantic flights, I get error messages.

I also researched some cargo pet transport companies but I'd be looking at $3k each direction.

Our starting city is San Diego and our destination is Formentera, Spain. But if we could find a way to transport him from San Diego to anywhere in Spain or France, we could go the rest of the way by train so that would work just fine.

Fact check: You only need proof of a rabies vaccine and a recent vet checkup in practically every state to transport a dog across state lines. Most states specifically exempt tourist's dog that are temporary and stay on leash outside. Hawaii, being an island with a delicate ecosystem, is the only state to require a quarantine.

What are you on about? When did i say anything about a quarantine i literally said you need paperwork and you just specified what paperwork you need? How is that a fact check?

You said something that sounded false, so I looked it up. You'd boardly misinterpreted and sensationalized the regulations about traveling with a dog across states lines so much that what you said was not true the way you said it. That's a fact check.

Wow. Im so sorry that my internet comment wasnt specific enough for you. Misinterpreted and sensationalized lol i said 1 sentence about it as an off hand comment to make sure they have all the paperwork they need.
