Wizz Air Abu Dhabi runs the Gulf side of the network and inherits the same rule: pets aren't allowed on board. Guide and assistance dogs are the exception, under the UAE ministerial decree the airline cites, and they want the certification paperwork at least 48 hours before departure. Emotional support animals are not accepted — the page says so outright.
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi 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.

Health & documents

Gulf routes have a second problem beyond the airline: summer heat embargoes shut cargo pet transport across the region for months, so the carrier that says yes in November may say no in July. Check the season before you check the fare. Nala has opinions about layovers, and a midday one in Abu Dhabi is the wrong kind. Build the plan around the weather window first.
What if my flight is delayed past my health certificate validity?
If the certificate window expires before you board, you'll need a re-issue. Build a 1-2 day buffer between the cert date and departure to absorb minor delays.Build my pet's travel plan →
What happens if I forget a document?
At the destination airport: at best, an extended inspection while you produce backup; at worst, the pet is held in quarantine or returned to origin at your cost. Bring printed copies.Build my pet's travel plan →
