FFGR Belgium is a Bark Air ground partner — providing dog-friendly luxury chauffeur services for clients travelling with their pets in Belgium and across Europe.
Bark Air — the New York-based airline that puts dogs first — has changed the expectations of pet-owning UHNW clients regarding travel. The principle is simple: the dog is a full passenger, not cargo. FFGR Belgium operates the same principle for ground transport.
FFGR Belgium's pet policy: all FFGR Belgium vehicles accept dogs and cats in the passenger cabin — no carrier required, no size restriction, no additional fee for standard engagements. The vehicle is protected with a rear-seat cover (standard in all vehicles for pet transport), and the cabin is prepared with a water bowl and paper towels. The chauffeur is briefed on the specific animal's needs (calming during the drive, need for a stop, medication timing if relevant).
Bark Air ground coordination: FFGR Belgium coordinates with Bark Air's ground logistics team for arrivals at Brussels Airport on Bark Air-adjacent itineraries — where a client has flown their dog to Brussels on a private charter and needs ground transport that continues the same standard from the FBO to the final destination.
The Brussels pet ecosystem: for clients with dogs relocating to Brussels, FFGR Belgium can provide a one-day orientation circuit — the best dog parks (Parc du Cinquantenaire, Bois de la Cambre, Forêt de Soignes off-lead areas), the premium veterinary practices (Clinique Vétérinaire de la Forêt in Uccle, Dr. Dewulf's practice in Woluwe), and the gourmet pet food specialists (La Chienne du Roi in the Sablon quarter).
Pet-friendly hotels: FFGR Belgium can advise on Brussels' most welcoming pet-friendly luxury hotels — the Stanhope Hotel, the Hotel Le Plaza, and several boutique properties in Ixelles accept large dogs with advance notice.
