Pegasus Airlines: flying with a dog

📍 Türkiye🐾 Cabin ≤ 8 kg✓ Verified 8 Aug 2026

★ Cabin, domestic hold only

Cabin travel is open network-wide, but hold (AVIH) is restricted to domestic Turkish and North Cyprus flights only — an international trip with a bigger dog has no hold option on Pegasus at all. The airline's own pages also disagree with each other on the breed list and the banned-country list.

⚠️ Key restrictions

🐶 Restricted breeds

Around 13 breeds, list varies by page

Same family of dangerous/fighting breeds (American Pit Bull, American Staffordshire Terrier, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Japanese Tosa, Presa Canario, Rottweiler, Doberman, Mastiff, American Bulldog, Caucasian Shepherd, Neapolitan Mastiff, Chow Chow) appears on three official Pegasus pages, but Boxer only appears on the legal Contract of Carriage, not the main pet page or the fee table — and the fee table spells several names differently ("Togo Argentinos," "Caucasian owtscharka"). No brachycephalic breeds are restricted anywhere. A Kangal (Turkish shepherd) is accepted only up to 6 months old.

🌍 Route ban

No pets to/from UK, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia

The legally binding General Rules state this five-country ban. The main consumer page adds a sixth country, Ireland, that's absent from both the fee table and the General Rules — three official pages, three different route-ban lists.

🌡️ Temperature & hold

Temperature limits: not disclosed

No °C threshold or seasonal embargo is published, despite Istanbul and many destinations seeing extreme summer heat.

🦮 Assistance dog

❓ Assistance dogs

Called "Guide Animals" in the legal Contract of Carriage: free of charge, no cage needed, travels on the ground next to a visually or hearing-impaired passenger — but this policy is buried in the legal document only, not cross-referenced from the main pet page or the disability-assistance page.

ℹ️ Good to know

⚠️ Nursing pets — allowed and banned on two pagesThe main pet page allows "a mother and a cub" to share one carrier — implying nursing pairs may fly. The General Rules state the opposite: "Pregnant pets, infant cats and dogs feeding on their mother's milk and their mothers will not be admitted to Pegasus Flights." These two official statements can't both be true.

🔀 North Cyprus hold status depends which page you readThe main page groups North Cyprus (KKTC) under "international flights" and separately says hold isn't available on international flights — implying no. But the fee table lists live KKTC hold prices, and the General Rules explicitly confirm hold IS available to North Cyprus. Read only the main page and you'd reach the wrong conclusion.
