I am trying to find info online but I am very confused on how this works. Can anyone please help me out with this questions?
  • Can I put both my dogs in one crate? (they are always together and I think they will feel safer in one crate)
  • Can I fly on the same flights as my dogs?
  • Should I use a shipping company that specializes in pet relocation, and if so, how do I co-ordinate my own flights to be the same as my dogs?
  • I always booked my flights through Expedia whenever I travelled to the US. Should I use a local travel agency this time? or book direct? still I want to be on the same flights as my dogs.
This is my first time travelling with pets, and I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed. Any advice is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
There are folks here who can better answer your specific questions about arranging the flights, but one issue you may not have looked at is the potential health risks for short nosed dogs traveling by air. This article explains some of the special concerns of traveling with dogs like pugs and bulldogs..
