My Mom wants to send her dog from ORD-SAN and was pretty much told "Not during the summer" based on the 85 degree rule. I didn't see anything on the traveling with pets section of united.bomb other than a breed restriction for summer.
From said site,
Animals traveling via our cargo system are accepted at the cargo facility and travel in the pressurized cargo compartments of our aircraft. Fees vary based on weight, size and destination. Extreme weather guidelines will apply, preventing cargo shipment of any live animal when the temperature is forecast to exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit at any point in the animal's journey.
