Check Restrictions: Some countries prohibit specific dog breeds, so always research local rules in your destination countries.
Plan Transport: On trains, small pets often ride free in carriers, but larger dogs might need a ticket and a muzzle. Always check with airlines about their specific cabin or cargo travel requirements.
