Every airline has its own rules for pets travelling as cargo, from crate sizes and breed restrictions to booking windows and seasonal limits. We match your pet to the right airline and route, then handle the details with the cargo team so nothing is left to chance at drop-off.
We coordinate pet bookings with Air Canada Cargo for travel within Canada and internationally, including confirming space, crate requirements, documentation and cargo terminal drop-off timing.
For WestJet Cargo routes, we confirm your pet’s eligibility, crate sizing and the documentation needed for acceptance, then line up drop-off and pickup at each end.
When your pet’s route involves a foreign carrier or a connection, we plan the routing so the whole journey works for your pet, not just the first flight.
Paws en route is an independent, IPATA-certified pet travel company and is not affiliated with Air Canada or WestJet.
