Neos: flying with a dog

📍 Italy🐾 Cabin ≤ 10 kg✓ Verified 8 Aug 2026
★ Possible

Cabin and hold are both open, with a comparatively generous 10 kg cabin cap and no stated hold weight ceiling — but Neos publishes no heat or seasonal embargo despite flying long-haul to some of the hottest leisure destinations in its own network.

⚠️ Key restrictions

🐶 Dangerous breeds — all classes
13 breeds banned outright
American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull, Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentino, Argentinean Mastiff, Brazilian Fighting Dog, Brazilian Mastiff, Fila Brasileiro, Japanese Tosa (and its aliases), Staffordshire Bull Terrier — 13 breeds, no distinction stated between cabin and hold.
😤 Flat-faced breeds — cabin only, ≤ 10 kg
Cabin only, under 10 kgHold forbidden
About 17 brachycephalic dog breeds (Boston Terrier, Boxer, Bulldog, French Bulldog, Pug, Shih Tzu, Pekingese and others) and 5 cat breeds (Persian, Himalayan, British Shorthair, Exotic Shorthair, Burmese) are barred from the hold and can only fly under 10 kg in the cabin — Neos's own reasoning is "high risk of respiratory and heat issues," the only heat-related language found anywhere on the site.

🐶 Check whether your dog is snub-nosed

Neos refuses brachycephalic (snub-nosed) breeds in the hold. What the airline itself wrote is in the restrictions above — that text alone says which breeds it turns away.

These 31 breeds are MyDogCanFly's own brachycephalic classification, heaviest first — it is not the list published by Neos. Use it to situate your dog, then read the airline's own wording above and confirm with it before booking.

🌡️ Temperature & hold

Numeric temperature limits: not disclosed

No °C threshold, no blackout months, no tarmac-time rule is published — a notable gap for a leisure/charter carrier flying to Zanzibar, Kenya, the Maldives, the Caribbean and Mexico.

🦮 Assistance dog

Assistance dogs
Guide dogs for blind and deaf passengers travel free in the cabin, muzzled at all times. Emotional support animals are explicitly excluded from this category — they travel as standard paid pets instead.

ℹ️ Good to know

🔢 Per-aircraft caps hidden in a PDFThe consumer-facing pet policy page never mentions a numeric cap on animals per flight — you'd only find the real numbers (3 cabin / 2 hold on a B737, 4 / 4 on a B787) by opening a separate downloadable excess-baggage fee table.
🌐 Garbled English on the FAQThe English FAQ answer on carrying two dogs reads: "it is possible to carry only two dogs in cabin, but they should be divided into two different cage... while if the carriage is in allownace, then they can be both carry" — garbled enough that the clearer Italian original is worth checking if you read Italian: cabin needs one passenger per dog, hold lets one passenger check both.
