An editorial in the Canadian Medical Association Journal said the preferences of pet owners should not supersede the wellbeing of other passengers.
Pet allergies can induce a number of symptoms such as sneezing fits, while many sufferers are forced to manage their condition by wearing an allergy alert bracelet.
'Airlines must choose to put their needs of their human passengers first - or be forced to do so,' the article stated.
The authors added that pets can easily be accommodated in the cargo hold of an aircraft, which is 'where they belong'.
According to Allergy UK, pets such as cats and dogs are among the most common allergens.
The charity also believes that the overall number of people who suffer from an allergy is rising by about five per cent every year.
