Hold forbidden
All brachycephalic (snub-nosed) dogs & cats are banned as checked baggage, incl. crossbreeds: bulldogs (all), boxer, pug, Pekingese, Shih Tzu, Boston terrier, Chow Chow, mastiffs, and Persian/Himalayan/Exotic/British Shorthair/Scottish Fold cats. Pregnant pets are also refused.
🚫 Other rules
No sedation
Don't give sedatives or tranquillisers before the flight. Restricted guard breeds (Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Doberman, pit bull) need behaviour documents, muzzle, harness and leash.
🐶 Check whether your dog is snub-nosed
Singapore 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 Singapore Airlines. Use it to situate your dog, then read the airline's own wording above and confirm with it before booking.
