IndiGo's pet page is short for a reason: there isn't a policy to compare. The airline does not accept dogs or cats in the cabin, as checked baggage, or as manifest cargo, on domestic or international flights, in any class. I built a spreadsheet for this and the IndiGo row is blank on purpose — every cell is 'not offered,' not 'ask the gate agent.'

IndiGo does not carry dogs or cats — not in the cabin, and not in the hold. There are no weight limits, fees or crate specifications to compare, because there is no pet service to book. This page shows the airline's own wording below, so you can stop checking and start looking at carriers that do fly pets on the route.

How IndiGo handles your pet

Key points

  • No pets on IndiGo: IndiGo confirmed in writing on 9 October 2026 that it does not accept dogs or cats in the cabin, as checked baggage (AVIH), or as cargo, on any flight, domestic or international, in any class
  • No pet cargo service: IndiGo operates no pet freight service and works with no authorised pet-shipping agents, so there is no route for a dog or cat on this airline
  • Service dogs: a trained service dog does travel in the cabin, seated on the floor in front of your feet; add it to the booking by calling IndiGo's call centre on 0124 6173838 at least 48 hours before departure, which IndiGo states is a strict requirement, and bring credible evidence that the dog was trained by an appropriate institution to present at check-in
  • Emotional-support animals: not accepted, as IndiGo applies its no-pets policy to emotional-support and therapy animals
  • Where these rules are published: IndiGo publishes no dedicated pet-carriage page, and its Conditions of Carriage mention animals only to point codeshare passengers at the operating carrier, so the no-pets answers here are cited to IndiGo's written reply of 9 October 2026

Luna disapproves of airlines with no row to compare, and IndiGo gives her nothing to disapprove of specifically — there's no fare, no crate size, no fee that changes the answer.
