Inside: everything you need to get your dog certified as a service animal, approved by airlines, and in cabin next to you on international flights. Legally. For every breed. Every size.
You are at the gate. Boarding pass in hand. Your dog is right there, calm, in their harness, walking next to you. You board. You find your seat. They settle under the seat in front of you. The flight takes off. You never had to say goodbye at a cargo desk. Not once.
That moment exists. We live it. Cotufa has done it across 50+ countries, on dozens of airlines, including routes where most dogs are flatly refused at the gate.
But here is what most dog owners experience instead. They get to the counter. The agent looks at the breed. Says no. Or the weight. Says no. Or asks for a document nobody told them they needed. The dog goes to cargo. The owner boards alone, sick with worry for six hours. Or they do not take the trip at all.
And airlines would rather keep it that way.
Temperature extremes, pressure changes, complete isolation. Hundreds of dogs die in cargo annually. You already know this. It is why you are still reading.
These rules apply to pets. They do not apply to service animals. Most dog owners never discover this distinction. The ones who do never worry about check-in again.
Every country, every airline, every gate agent has different requirements. Getting the wrong form means your dog goes nowhere. The right documentation means your dog goes everywhere.
Certification comes from private licensed organizations. The information to navigate this properly is scattered, contradictory, and expensive to find. Until now.
You planned the trip for months. Saved up. Got excited. Then reality hit - your dog cannot come. So you found a sitter. Booked a kennel. Paid extra. Felt guilty the whole flight.
Or worse. You looked into cargo. You read about the temperature controls that fail. The pressure changes. The panic attacks dogs have in total darkness. The hundreds of animals that die in cargo every year. You read the stories. And you either left them behind anyway - or you cancelled the trip entirely.
Meanwhile your dog waits. Does not understand why you disappeared. Stress-barks for days. Stops eating. And when you finally get home, it takes a week before they trust that you are not leaving again.
This is what airlines have designed the system to be. Complicated enough that you give up. Expensive enough that most people never solve it. Confusing enough that even people who try get turned away at the gate.
You are not bad at planning. You are not failing your dog. The information just was not available to you. Until now.
We have heard every doubt. Here is the honest answer.
Completely. The ADA has no government registry. Private licensed organizations issue service animal certification legally. This book shows you exactly how to get properly certified and what documentation airlines require.
That is exactly what this book is for. Service animal status overrides breed and weight restrictions. We have helped French Bulldogs, large breeds, and every restricted breed you can name travel in cabin.
Yes, when done correctly. The book walks you through what each major airline requires, what documentation holds up at check-in, and what to say if a gate agent pushes back. Built from real experience on real flights.
The information is not cheap. The book is accessible by design. We believe every dog owner who wants to travel with their dog should be able to afford the knowledge to do it right.
Cotufa is a real dog. She has traveled to over 50 countries and 100 cities worldwide. Her owner Gaby navigated every broken system, denied boarding, wrong form, and hostile gate agent that exists, across five continents.
Gaby runs The Jerz Group, an international human relocation company that owns multiple law firms. We move families and executives across borders for a living. We built this system because we lived the problem. This book is what we wished existed when we started. Everything we learned, for $19.99.
Introducing
The first complete, done-for-you knowledge system for international dog travel. Not a blog post. Not scattered Reddit threads. A structured, step-by-step guide built by a real relocation company that has done this on five continents.
Seven complete sections. Everything you need, in order, with nothing missing.
Step-by-step: what a legitimate service animal evaluation involves, what licensed providers look for, what your dog needs to qualify, and how to find a real provider that airlines will accept.
What this letter must include to be recognized by major international airlines. What language it needs to use. How to verify it is from a legitimate licensed professional. What to do if an airline questions it.
Why the ID card matters beyond the letter. What it should include. Where to get one that looks and reads as official. How it works at hotels, restaurants, and airports in different countries.
Why visible identification changes everything at check-in before anyone asks a question. What gear works, what to look for, and how your dog wears it to make boarding seamless.
Country-by-country entry requirements, airline-specific policies, customs rules for dogs, and the exact differences between traveling in North America, Latin America, and Europe.
What to do when you hit a wall. Which forms to ask for. Who to contact at each airline. How to escalate without losing your flight. And where to find professionals who can handle the documentation for you.
The exact conversation to have at check-in. What to say if a gate agent pushes back. How to board smoothly. What your dog should wear and how they should behave. Full picture from curb to cruising altitude.
And why it does not cost that anymore.
This was not supposed to be a book.
The Cotufa Way started as a done-for-you service. We handled everything: the licensed medical evaluation, the certified letter, the ID card, the harness, the airline guidance, the concierge support. Clients paid $497 for the full package.
Then we realized something. Most dog owners do not need someone to do it for them. They are smart. They are capable. They just need the exact knowledge our team uses, laid out in the right order, so they can do it themselves with total confidence.
So we took the exact same internal knowledge and put it in this book. Same information. Different format. A fraction of the price.
The done-for-you service costs $497 because a licensed team manages everything.
The book costs $19.99 because you follow the steps yourself and this book makes you more than capable of doing it right.
Not a subscription. Not a recurring charge. You pay $19.99 once, you download the book, and it is yours permanently. No future billing. No account needed to access it.
This started as a $497 done-for-you service. We packaged the same knowledge as a $19.99 book to make it accessible to every dog owner. We are in beta. We are testing this price point. When the beta period ends, this page comes down.
The complete international dog travel guide. Instant access. Works for every breed, every size, every airline.
We are a relocation company that owns multiple law firms and has moved people and their dogs across five continents. We do not put our name on anything we are not certain works.
If you read the book and it does not give you the complete roadmap to travel internationally with your dog in cabin, contact us within 30 days and we will refund your $19.99 in full. No questions asked.
Read the book. Put it to work. If it does not give you everything promised here, email us within 30 days and you get your $19.99 back. Full stop. No complicated process, no runaround.
Real people. Real dogs. Real trips taken with confidence.
"I have a French Bulldog and was told by three airlines she could not fly in-cabin. After following this guide, we just came back from Portugal. She sat on my lap the entire flight. Life-changing for $19.99."
"I am a lawyer and I researched every angle before buying. This is completely legitimate and more thorough than anything I found on my own. My Cavapoo has now flown to the UK, Spain, and Mexico. Zero issues."
"The check-in script alone was worth every penny. I knew exactly what to say, my dog had the right gear, and the agent just waved us through. My toy poodle Chanel has never gone to cargo. Never will."
