Yes. Most airlines let a small dog fly in a carrier that fits under the seat in front of you, with a pet fee each way and each airline's own size rules. That's one of the two ways dogs fly in the cabin. The other is a trained service dog, any size, at your feet, no pet fee, with two DOT forms the airline can ask for. Paws on Board covers both, and the trip checklist is built for your route and airline either way.

Yes. This is about trained service dogs, not emotional support animals. A 2021 DOT rule change means airlines no longer have to accommodate ESAs. A trained service dog still flies in the cabin, at your feet, with no pet fee. There's no government registry or certification for service dogs, and none is required by law; what matters is that your dog is trained to do a specific task and behaves in public. Paws on Board helps you document that with the official DOT forms. (Informational, not legal advice. Always verify with your airline.)

Dogs fly in the cabin two ways: small dogs in a carrier under the seat, and trained service dogs at your feet. We cover both. In a carrier, as a pet: Small enough for an under-seat carrier. Pet fee each way, airline size rules, no forms. As a trained service dog: Individually trained to perform a specific task for a person with a disability. Any size, no fee, DOT paperwork. A service dog needs both a real disability and real task training. There is no registry or form that turns a pet into one. The trip checklist is built for your route and airline either way.

Yes. Every major U.S. airline uses the same two DOT forms. We cover Delta, American, United, Southwest, JetBlue, Alaska, Frontier, Spirit, Allegiant, and Hawaiian, each with its own advance-notice window and exactly where to submit. Your trip page names your airline's window and where to submit.

Yes. Your dog's records are yours. We never sell or share your personal information, and health data is never shown publicly. You choose what's shared: a vet link you can revoke, or opting into the community. The full details are in our privacy policy.
