Your dog is favouring one leg but still eating, playing and wagging their tail. “Can’t be that bad, right?” Wrong. Pain-free-looking limps are often the most deceptive — hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament tears, spinal disc herniation and even bone cancer all start this way. This guide covers 9 causes of apparently painless limping, a clear triage guide (emergency vs. wait vs. watch), a 5-step home assessment, breed-specific risks, and what to tell your vet.

You've booked the flight, your dog is ready. But at check-in, the agent asks: "Did you reserve? What are the carrier dimensions? Is the rabies vaccine >21 days old? Did you give a sedative?"

This guide lists the 12 exact questions you'll face, the right answers (and the wrong ones that get you rejected), plus a pre-flight checklist based on 2026 DOT, EU, and UK regulations. Don't let your dream trip turn into a nightmare.

Includes deadlines, penalty amounts, and a printable checklist.
