Eurowings made my comparison table very short: animals travel in the cabin only. No checked baggage, no cargo hold, no exceptions to work around. That is clarifying if your pet is small and disqualifying if it is not. Luna fits comfortably inside the 8 kg combined limit, which is the figure everything else hangs on.
Eurowings's pet policy splits into cabin and cargo. This page summarizes the weight limits, fees, brachycephalic-breed restrictions, and carrier specifications for both modes — sourced from the airline's official pet pages.

The pet must be at least 12 weeks old, or at least 15 weeks on flights to and from Germany. Two different floors on one airline is unusual, and the German routes are the stricter of the pair. Check the date of birth against the specific route rather than the airline, because a connection through Germany takes the higher figure.
Cabin only, 8 kg combined, and an age floor that changes with the route. Those three facts decide whether Eurowings works for a given pet, and none of them can be negotiated at the gate. Confirm the age rule for the exact route first, then put the flight and your destination into the plan builder and let it handle the rest.
