The Field Guide · Digital Edition
The complete, calm, step-by-step guide to flying internationally with your dog — in the cabin, beside you. Written from the real journey: London to Rio de Janeiro, in his own good time.
Most pet-travel advice is a scramble of forum threads and contradictory dates. Paws on Board is the opposite — a single, considered handbook that takes you from “daunted” to “boarding,” built around the one journey we actually made with Jason, a ten-year-old miniature dachshund, from London Heathrow to Rio via Amsterdam.
Every form, every deadline, every quiet trick for keeping a nervous dog calm at 38,000 feet — set out in order, in plain language, by someone who has done it.

A note before you fly
This guide shares one family's real experience and the resources we relied on. Rules differ by country, airline and date — always confirm the current detail with the official authorities and your carrier. Paws on Board is here to make that simple, not to replace it.
A small dog crossed an ocean — in the cabin, in his own good time.
Yours can too.
