IndiGo doesn’t allow the carriage of any pets with guide dogs and service dogs being the exception

According to Firstpost, Among dogs, brachycephalic or snub-nosed breeds such as a pug, French bulldgog, a boxer, an English bulldog, a Boston terrier, a Lhasa Apso, a Shih Tzu cannot be transported by air due to issues involved with their breathing. This is because snub-nosed breeds are far more susceptible to heat exhaustion and breathing abnormalities, which can be exacerbated by air travel.
