Can you bring a large dog on cabin? Chiko’s story

For most pet owners, the question “Can I bring a large dog on cabin?” usually ends with a disappointing answer, especially when the dog is a large breed. Airlines typically restrict big dogs to the cargo hold due to size regulations. However, with the right planning and a dedicated pet relocation service, even the most “impossible” journeys can become a reality. This is the story of a very special pet shipment involving Chiko, a dog who defied the odds to fly right beside us.

Chiko is a magnificent large-sized dog with a striking mix of Great Dane and Labrador blood running through her veins. To a stranger, her imposing stature might look fierce, but appearances can be deceiving. Beneath that strong exterior lies a heart of gold. Chiko isn’t just a dog; she is a tender friend within our company who craves affection just as much as any lap dog.

The full journey

Chiko’s pet shipment journey began in Manila, Philippines. For the first leg, she traveled via cargo to meet our team. When we picked her up, the toll of travel was visible. We found her alone in her crate, looking undeniably tired. But even then, her sweetness shone through as she waited patiently to be let out.

Our team didn’t just handle her; we cared for her. We fed her, gave her water, and ensured she didn’t stay in a lonely facility. Instead, she rested peacefully in a pet-friendly hotel room right beside us, knowing she was safe.

The next chapter of her journey highlights why choosing an expert pet relocation service matters. For her flight to Indonesia, Chiko did not go back into a crate. Instead, she was allowed to fly in the passenger cabin.

To bring dog on cabin, especially one of Chiko’s size is an exceptionally rare sight within Southeast Asia. Yet, there she was, sitting calmly beside our handler. Throughout the flight, she received endless love, and treats as appreciation for her impeccable behavior.

Reuniting Chiko with her family was an amazingly insightful experience for us. It proved that a pet shipment is more than just logistics; it is about bringing comfort to a family member. We, Pet Travel Indo, are grateful to Chiko’s owner for their assistance in making this historic cabin flight happen.

Welcome home, Chiko! ❤️
