Generally, large dogs are either carried in the cargo hold or checked baggage. Many airlines allow small dogs and cats (up to about 8 kg) to be carried in the cabin, but in many cases, large dogs will be placed in checked baggage, even via France.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the costs and procedures tend to be reduced compared to \"freight forwarding only\" for direct flights to the UK.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"styled_h4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AE%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B9%E3%81%AE%E8%B3%83%E8%B2%B8%E7%89%A9%E4%BB%B6%E3%81%A7%E3%83%9A%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E9%A3%BC%E8%82%B2%E5%8F%AF%E3%82%92%E6%8E%A2%E3%81%99%E3%81%AE%E3%81%AF%E9%9B%A3%E3%81%97%E3%81%84%E3%81%A7%E3%81%99%E3%81%8B%EF%BC%9F\"><\/span>Q3: Is it difficult to find a rental property in the UK that allows pets?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>A. While it is true that there are still many \"No Pets\" properties, recent revisions to model lease contracts have made it more difficult to refuse pets.
