Italy just gave dogs a major upgrade cabin class.
That’s right. Italy has officially announced that medium and large dogs are now allowed to fly in the airplane cabin with their owners not just tiny lap dogs in travel bags.
Until now, most countries (and airlines) only allowed small pets in the cabin, while bigger dogs were forced into cargo holds often a stressful and risky experience for both the pets and their humans.
But Italy’s new regulation flips the script. Now, as long as the dog is well-behaved, leashed, and the airline allows it, your large furry friend can sit right beside you, paws and all.
Some Italian airlines like ITA Airways and Neos are already on board, with special seating arrangements and pet-friendly policies.
It’s a win for animal welfare, a comfort boost for pet owners, and a big leap toward more compassionate travel.
So next time you’re flying to Rome, don’t be surprised if there’s a golden retriever chilling by the window seat.
Pet parents, rejoice Italy just became the most dog-friendly airspace in Europe. 🐕✈️🇮🇹
