easyJet Pet Policy: Flying With a Dog or Cat in 2026
Hi, I'm Merlot — a 30 kg Golden Retriever and trained Service Dog. Here's easyJet's pet policy exactly as published on its own official pages: the cabin rules, the hold, what changes for trained service dogs, and booking basics. Where easyJet doesn't publish a fixed number, I say so directly instead of guessing.
Last verified: 2026-10-20. Rules change — always confirm with the airline before booking.
A worked example first, then each rule in detail.

Pets in the Cabin
easyJet does not allow pets (dogs/cats) in the cabin as of our last check. Not applicable - easyJet has no general cabin pet product. N/A for standard pets.
- Multiple independent sources, including easyJet's own official registered-assistance-dogs terms page, confirm easyJet does not carry ordinary pets on any route - only registered assistance dogs, subject to the UK/EU Pet Travel Scheme. Emotional support dogs are explicitly not recognized under any circumstances.

Pets in the Hold
easyJet does not transport pets in the cargo hold. No checked/hold pet service.
-
Service Dogs
easyJet accepts trained service dogs in the cabin, free of charge. Documents typically needed: Compliance with the UK/EU Pet Travel Scheme. Emotional support animals (ESA) are not treated as service animals — since 2021, US DOT rules no longer require it, and an ESA flies under ordinary pet rules here. Accepted on routes within the EU (plus Croatia, Norway, Switzerland) and all UK domestic routes; routes to/from the UK carry extra Pet Travel Scheme compliance requirements; acceptance on routes to/from Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Kosovo, Turkey, and Morocco was listed on the official route table but the specific result for each was not captured in this pass - re-check before confirming any of those routes to a user.
