⚠️ Key restrictions
🐶 Check whether your dog is snub-nosed
Philippine Airlines refuses brachycephalic (snub-nosed) breeds in the hold. What the airline itself wrote is in the restrictions above — that text alone says which breeds it turns away.
These 22 breeds are MyDogCanFly's own brachycephalic classification, heaviest first — it is not the list published by Philippine Airlines. Use it to situate your dog, then read the airline's own wording above and confirm with it before booking.
🌡️ Temperature & hold
PAL Cargo states the hold is subject to temperature changes and can't guarantee a specific temperature; the brachycephalic embargo cites overheating risk. No numeric limit is published.
