🐶 Check whether your dog is snub-nosed
Iberia's published conditions mention snub-nosed breeds (the hold) without stating a general refusal. Check your breed's fiche, then confirm with the airline before booking.
These 22 breeds are MyDogCanFly's own brachycephalic classification, heaviest first — it is not the list published by Iberia. Use it to situate your dog, then read the airline's own wording above and confirm with it before booking.
