How to bring a dog or pet to Vietnam by plane?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 27 days ago
TL;DR
Some airlines (e.g. Vietnam Airlines) refuse to carry certain breeds like pit bulls, so travelers look for connecting flights or ground transport instead; for large crates like Skudo7 you need to pre-book a minivan at the airport, and there are agencies that prep puppies for the flight so you just pick them up.
What the community said
When trying to bring in an American pit bull, the airline (Vietnam Airlines) refused direct transport. Travelers look for verified pet relocation companies or connecting flights via other airlines, or ground transport options instead.

For large dog crates (Skudo7 model), a regular taxi won't fit it — you need to pre-arrange a minivan or cargo taxi transfer that can accommodate the oversized crate to pick up your pet right after landing.

There are intermediary agencies that prepare puppies for the flight in advance (paperwork, crate, vaccinations), so the new owner just has to show up at the airport and collect the pet — no need to organize the whole process from scratch.
