When is it safest for my puppy to fly: in cabin or checked cargo?

Question

Hello, I will be bringing my puppy from my hometown soon. Its approx a 2 and a half hour flight. He was born a week ago and is an american bully. Can you tell me at what age it is safest for him to be on a plane? And is it safer for him to be with me as a cabin bag under my seat or under the plane as checked? Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | American Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 5 days old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Congrats! It is MUCH safer to have the puppy with you under the seat. I do not recommend a bully breed, especially a puppy to be checked in the cargo area. As soon as the breeder deems him weaned and ready then he can fly with you. Good luck!
