I heard from a friend that dogs are not allowed to Puerto Rico because it's too hot? My dog is a standard dachshund, he is bigger than minitaire dogs but he definetently isn't very big, he is actually fairly small, and light medium. He has a travel cage, those big boxes with a crate door. This summer me and my family are planning to go to Puerto Rico so can we take him?|||It depends on the airline and the size and weight of the dog. If it's about 15-20 pounds (including the kennel) some airlines will let your dog travel on your lap. If it exceeds their limit, they may charge you a fee and it will have to travel in the cargo compartment. As this compartment isn't temperature controlled, pets are not allowed if the temperature exceeds 85掳F or is lower than 45掳F.

In Puerto Rico, the temperature usually ranges from 80-95掳F during the summer, so you would be cutting it close. Right now (6/10/10, 7:30PM) it's 83掳F in San Juan. The airline checks the temperature of that day to determine if your pet can travel with you.

Since dachshunds weigh 15-30 pounds, it may have to travel as cargo and chances are it'll be warmer than 85掳F during the day on average during the summer, so your best bet is to travel at night, when temperatures reach the high 70s/low 80s.

No hotter than it is in maryland. Anyway you can bring an animal on the plane but you need to ask the AIRLINE that you are taking. It is 100.00 each way to bring a small animal on the plane.

ASK THE AIRLINE and no it is not TOO hot in PR....but if you are staying in a hotel you cannot bring an animal.|||yes you can bring your dog.... and what's up with that dogs are not allowed to Puerto Rico because it's too hot?.... i have a yorkie and live in puerto rico and every time a travel back and forth they never say anything.... they paid me $100 to bring my dog inside the plane...but if its under (where the luggage is) its less... BUT for dogs inside the plane they have to be less than 20 pounds (i think ) or less and you have to have a little cage that would fit under the chair of your front passenger... it cannot be a bag .... and if the dog has a lot of hair i would recommend that you would shave a little bit (not much)
(if you want you dont have to) because in this time (june-july) it is a bit hotter... and make sure the dog has all the travel papers and shots.

.....good luck.....
