⚠️ Key restrictions

🐶 Restricted breeds

Cabin unaffectedHold forbidden

Royal Jordanian publishes a list of 23 breeds and states explicitly that it applies to the hold only. Nothing in the policy bars a flat-faced dog under 7 kg from the cabin — so a small pug or Shih Tzu is a genuine option here, provided the flight is under 5 h.

🐹 Species accepted

Dogs & catsNo rodents

Only dogs and cats are carried. Rodents are barred from every Royal Jordanian flight, in the cabin as in the hold.

🌡️ Temperature & hold

Temperature limits: not disclosed

Royal Jordanian publishes no hold-temperature limits and no seasonal embargo on its pet page.

❓ Assistance dogs

Not published. The pet page sets out no conditions, accepted certifications or fee waiver for assistance dogs — call the airline before booking.

ℹ️ Good to know

⚠️ Two conflicting crate sizesThe same page gives the cabin crate twice: the conditions table says 50 (L) × 40 (W) × 26 (H) cm, the seating paragraph says 40 (L) × 50 (W) × 26 (H) cm. Same numbers, length and width swapped. We publish the table value and flag the ambiguity rather than pick a side — ask when you book.

📞 No online bookingA pet cannot be added on the website. Everything goes through a travel agency or the call centre, 48 h before departure at the latest.

📅 Outdated notice on the pageThe policy page still carries a US CDC notice given as expiring on 31 July 2025. It is out of date — check the current entry rules for your destination, not that paragraph.

🕳️ What is missingNot published: minimum age, whether the cabin carrier must be soft or rigid, temperature thresholds, and how many animals one passenger may take in the cabin.
