Eurowings 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 Eurowings' 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 Eurowings 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.
Worked example
Does my dog fit Eurowings' rules?
Take a 7.2 kg Miniature Schnauzer — bearded, bright, and endlessly game for anything. At 7.2 kg, that dog fits inside Eurowings' 8 kg cabin limit.
Now every rule, sourced and dated.

Pets in the Cabin
Eurowings allows dogs and cats in the cabin, up to 8 kg including the carrier. Not confirmed officially in this pass; a third-party source (SeatGuru) cites fees 'starting at EUR 40' but this was not independently confirmed on the official page. Register the pet during the booking flow ('More services' step) or via the call centre.
- Only small dogs and cats, up to 8kg, and ONLY in the cabin - Eurowings does not carry pets in the hold or as cargo at all. Offered only on short- and medium-haul flights (i.e., not on Eurowings' long-haul routes). EU pet travel rules apply on top of the airline's own carrier requirements.
