Croatia Airlines carries dogs and cats in the cabin up to 8 kg and in the hold. The service is paid: 50 EUR per flight. The pet's place is booked in advance — at least 48 h before departure.
Some countries take no animals at all: United Kingdom. Snub-nosed breeds are not accepted in the hold. Direct flights reach 22 countries, but flying there and taking a pet are different questions: the destination country has its own entry rules.

Croatia Airlines flies direct to 22 countries according to the schedules. Flying there is not the same as taking a pet: the destination country has its own entry rules, and the carrier itself closes some routes to animals.
