The United Airlines Pet Policy covers in-cabin and cargo travel for pets with safety at its core. Small pets must remain in a carrier under the seat, while larger animals travel through the PetSafe® program. Health documentation, breed restrictions, and climate limitations are strictly enforced. Emotional support animals are not accepted unless they qualify as trained service dogs. Advance reservations are highly recommended due to limited space. United’s dedicated pet travel services and customer support help ensure that pets are cared for during every stage of the journey. Always read the most up-to-date pet policy before booking your flight.
