🐶 Check whether your dog is snub-nosed

Transavia 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 Transavia. Use it to situate your dog, then read the airline's own wording above and confirm with it before booking.

🌡️ Temperature & hold

Heated, climate- & pressure-controlled holdTemperature limits: not disclosed

The hold is a heated, climate- and pressure-controlled environment; snub-nosed breeds are excluded because heat and stress cause breathing difficulty. No numeric temperature limit is published.
