Woofly Tips
- Book your pet’s ticket as early as possible as spaces are limited and must be confirmed in advance.
- Train your pet to be calm and comfortable in the carrier for the full duration of the journey.
- Bring all documents (vet certificate, vaccination, microchip, travel papers) in both physical and digital format, readily available for inspection.
- Carefully check destination country pet entry rules—EU Pet Passport, microchip, and rabies vaccine are standard requirements for international flights.
- Make sure your pet can stand up, turn, and lie down in the carrier. Airline staff have the right to refuse any animal or carrier that does not meet these standards.
- Flights to/from the UK, Ireland, and Dubai are the most restricted for animals—always check current rules before booking.
