Attention, dog lovers! 🐶 In Italy, it is now possible to travel by plane with dogs over 10 kg in the cabin.
Yes, what seemed impossible is now a reality: medium and large furry friends can fly with their humans, without having to go in the cargo hold.
And of course… we have to ask ourselves:
👉 Will Spain be next to allow it?
While we wait for that moment, we'll tell you how to prepare your dog for any trip —by car, train, or plane— and how to make it easier with Maison Podenco products 🐾.
🧳 Before the trip: preparation and calm
Traveling can be an exciting experience… or a bit of a challenge if your dog isn't used to it. The key is to prepare them with care:
✅ Familiarize them with their carrier a few days before. Let them explore it with their favorite blanket or one of their toys.
🚫 Avoid large meals just before the journey. A light treat or a digestive snack is better.
🐶 During the trip: comfort and silence
Loud noises or movements can upset even the calmest dog. Here are some pro tips:
🎧 Use the Hush Muff – our innovative hearing protector for dogs. It reduces engine or traffic noise, helping your dog stay calm.
🦴 Give them a natural chew during the journey: chewing releases tension and keeps them entertained. Discover our selection of natural chews, designed to entertain and relax your furry friend during waiting times or movement.
💬 Speak to them in a soft, calm voice. Avoid transmitting your nerves: they notice everything.
🐕🦺 Upon arrival: relaxation and reward
You did it! 🎉
After the trip, give them time to stretch, sniff around, and relax.
💧 Make sure they drink water and offer them their favorite snack as a reward. A moment of calm and affection is the best way to end the trip with good energy.
🌍 What if Spain is next?
The Italian initiative has been praised by thousands of pet-friendly travelers. More and more countries and airlines are adapting their policies to allow large dogs in the cabin.
Hopefully, we'll soon be able to say the same in Spain 🇪🇸.
Meanwhile, at Maison Podenco, we help make every journey —by land or air— a comfortable, safe, and calm experience for your dog.
