Delta Pet Policy

Delta Airlines understand that your pets are a part of your family. Delta Airlines want to ensure they are comfortable and safe while traveling. Delta Airlines welcome pets on flights, subject to Delta pet policy guidelines.

Delta Pet Policy Carry On or Shipping Pet

For a convenient and comfortable travel experience with small pets, Delta Airlines allows small dogs, cats, and household birds to travel in the cabin. A one-way fee is collected at check-in, and your pet must be able to fit in a small, ventilated pet carrier that fits under the seat in front of you.

To ensure your pet's well-being during the flight, please take note of the following requirements when traveling with a small pet as a carry-on:

1. For domestic travel, your pet must be at least 10 weeks old.
2. If traveling to the U.S. from another country, your pet must be 16 weeks old, and when traveling to the European Union, the minimum age requirement is 15 weeks.
3. Generally, one pet is allowed per kennel. However, there are exceptions:
   
   • A female cat or dog may travel with her un-weaned litter if the litter is between 10 weeks and 6 months of age.
   • There is no limit on the number of animals in the litter.
   • Two pets of the same breed and size, aged between 10 weeks and 6 months, may be allowed to travel in one kennel if they can comfortably fit and are compatible. They will be charged as a single pet.

It's important to note that pets in cabin kennels count as your carry-on item. Along with the kennel, you can bring one personal item onboard the aircraft.
