Hi Joric, super informative video for those of us with dogs. Thank you! I'm currently researching moving to the silver coast with a friend who has a 55 lb dog but they don't want to put them in cargo for the flight over. Do you know of any other ways of transporting a dog to Portugal?
This is one of the only times I am without a dog, having lost my Katie last year… I always enjoyed taking our dog to the beach and in New York had to do it off season (April to October). I am wondering about taking dogs on public transportation, trains, buses, etc. since we don't plan to have a car in Portugal.
