Qatar Airways Pet Policy

Selected official pet-carriage conditions; route and service coverage is shown below.

Weight limits

Dog / Cat · In the cabin / Accompanied hold baggage / Separate cargo service

Ordinary dogs/cats travel in the checked hold or as cargo, not in the cabin. Above 75 kg combined or a crate sum of 300 cm, unaccompanied travel, Australia/New Zealand to/from and regulated routes require cargo. Country/airport rules may be stricter. Incoming other-airline pets are not accepted as checked baggage; outgoing connections need separate arrangements and confirmation of cargo wording.

Selected official conditions only, for the operating airline and the direction, aircraft, service and dates stated in each rule. A mode tab may contain a prohibition or unresolved condition; it does not grant carriage. Obtain actual pet space approval and origin/transit/destination clearance separately. Assistance animals, commercial movement and unlisted services need separate assessment.
