United's 18 deaths is double the number they reported in 2016, which saw nine deaths and 14 injuries.

American Airlines, Delta, and Alaska Airlines each had two pets die during travels and only one injury or loss for each of the airlines. That puts United at the top of the list for the third year in a row, despite their PetSafe cargo program.
