Hi! We discovered quite last minute that most or (all?) airlines will not fly with a dog in cargo if the temperature at either port is over a certain number of degrees (I thinknit was85 or 90F) anyway, it will definitely be too hot in DR in July. Search up 鈥渢raveling with dog鈥� on here and you will see the posts about our experience and ultimate solution. We were in the same boat last year. If you want to private message me with any other questions that鈥檒l work too 馃槈

According to WestJets website, the restrictions during those dates are from or to all other DR airports, not from anywhere else.聽 I do know that Boxers are not allowed to fly cargo on any airline, as they are subject to death in the cargo hold, and they are too large to fly in-cabin.聽 I think you'll have to find another way to bring your dog with you, outside of the regular airlines. But call the airline to make sure, first.
