Ryanair assistance dog: what to know before flying

Ryanair does not carry ordinary pets, but guide or assistance dogs may be accepted on certain routes with the required process.

Fast check

Do not rely only on a generic airline name. The exact route, operating carrier, aircraft, pet type and remaining pet spaces can change the answer.

What to verify

• Weight. Check whether the limit includes the pet carrier, because it often does.
• Carrier. Confirm dimensions, material and under-seat fit before buying.
• Booking. Add and confirm the pet service separately from the passenger ticket.
• Documents. Prepare microchip, vaccination records, pet passport or destination certificates where required.
