What is the biggest size of dog usually allowed to ride in cabin with you on a plane?

I know little dogs can ride with you on a plane, what about a German Shepherd sized dog? Do dogs have to be restrained always when they ride with you? I know they will probably be leashed of course, but I mean crate/dog purse/carrier all the time?



Also I just thought of this, how does your dog go potty on long flights, whether they are in cabin or in cargo? Are they expected to go in their crates?What is the biggest size of dog usually allowed to ride in cabin with you on a plane?Only small breed dogs that fit into a carrier that can fit under the seat in front of you are allowed in the cabin area of a plane. A GSD would be required to be flown in a crate in cargo. During the summer months they will not fly him as it's too hot.



PetAir flys dogs in crates in the cabin, big and small but they are limited in the areas they fly to.



If it's a long flight then yes, a dog will have no choice but to go in it's crate.What is the biggest size of dog usually allowed to ride in cabin with you on a plane?
You didn't mention you'd be taking him to England, I advise that you do not take him to England, you will need to obtain a pet passport, have rabies updated, health certification and a blood test done all within three months prior to flying. Leave him at home or he'll be quarantined.

What is the biggest size of dog usually allowed to ride in cabin with you on a plane?The dog must remain in its crate. The crate needs to fit under the seat, just like carry-ons. To stand comfortably in such a small crate, the dog shouldn't be more than about 10 inches tall at the withers.

If the dog cannot hold it, then they have to pee in the crate. It's a good idea to have shredded newspaper in the bottom of the crate to absorb.What is the biggest size of dog usually allowed to ride in cabin with you on a plane?
They have to be small enough where they (in their carrier) have to fit under the seat in front of you. Yes, they have to be confined for the duration of the flight.
