In Cabin. No Carrier.

Your dog belongs in the cabin with you.

No more cargo. No more carriers. No more wondering if they're okay down there. Your dog is family, and now there's a legal, documented way to keep them by your side at 30,000 feet.

The Reality

Cargo is not an option.

Every year, dogs are injured, lost, or worse in airline cargo holds. The stress alone can be devastating. You shouldn't have to choose between traveling and keeping your family together.

Dogs experience extreme stress, anxiety, and fear in pressurized, dark cargo holds

Temperature fluctuations in cargo can reach dangerous extremes

Carriers under seats are cramped, uncomfortable, and not possible for larger dogs

The walls are gone. There is another way. ✨

Who We Are

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 is one of the founders of 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.

What We Do

The documented, legal path. Not a loophole.

As part of The Jerz Group, Cotufa Way is our specialized travel division dedicated exclusively to helping people travel internationally with their dogs in the cabin.

Trusted Across Social

Our philosophy is simple: global mobility should include every member of your family. By combining international expertise with practical travel experience, we help people move, relocate, and explore the world together with their dogs.

ADA Compliance

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, service animals have the legal right to accompany their handler in public spaces, including airline cabins. Your documentation is built to meet these federal standards.

ADI & European Guide Dog Organizations

Beyond the ADA, we help our clients work with trainers worldwide whose programs follow the standards set by Assistance Dogs International (ADI) and European Guide Dog Organizations. These are the internationally recognized benchmarks for how a working dog is trained and behaves in public.

"This matters for international travel: airlines outside the United States often look to ADI and European guide dog standards rather than the ADA. Working with all three keeps your dog prepared for the behavioral expectations of carriers across America, Europe, and beyond."

DOT Compliance Forms

The Department of Transportation requires specific attestation forms covering behavior, health, and training. We prepare every form, mapped to your exact itinerary and airline, so nothing is missed at the desk.
