He is healthy but blind. He's a male dachsund. He's made this trip last year and it's time to go home.

When they get old they usaully just want to be home i wouldnt if i was you that will just stress him out maybe if you have a family member they could take care of your dog well i hope everything works out for you!!!!

If there are no health concerns I don't see why not. Are you saying that the other option is putting the dog down? I wouldn't, being blind doesn't change a dog's life that much, it isn't a concern when flying either. Good luck.

If he is a mini doxi and can ride in the cabin under the seat in front of you, I would do it. You might need a pee pad in the carrier. If he must go in the pressure treated cargo area here are the things to consider: Will there be a chance of time stuck on the ground? It gets too cold and too hot in the hold because the plane is turned off. Will they allow you to load him at the last minute? The fact that he's done this before is excellent news. I don't think Pet Air does transatlantic flights, however, many charter planes will fly people's pets in the cabin! Check with small airports in your area for people who own their own planes and go to France.
