    Not great support for Pets travel

    Filled out the form on their website and no one reached out and No response for 4 days. I then called them and they mentioned that They wont accept my pet as he is Husky / American bully mix. There is zero guidance on their website. Now we are stuck with our tickets booked 30 days ago and not being able to bring our dog.
