Tapeworm tablet before you land in Malta: 24 to 120 hours before arrival
Your dog needs a tapeworm tablet from a vet no less than 24 hours and no more than 5 days (120 hours) before you land. Count back from your arrival time, not your departure. That means a vet appointment where you are now, two or three days before the flight, and the vet writes the product, the date and the exact time into the passport or certificate. Ireland, Northern Ireland, Malta, Finland and Norway are the only places in Europe that ask for this, and Great Britain asks on the way back in. Nowhere else does. Miss the window and the dog is refused.

Book your dog the moment you book your seat.
Every airline caps pets per flight, some at two, and the “72 hours before departure” on their website is a deadline, not a plan. If the pet spots are gone you don't fly with your dog, and the airline usually won't refund you. Add the dog the same day, then confirm it's on the booking in writing.
1 pet-friendly airline flying AMS → MLA
These carriers fly this route non-stop and welcome dogs in the cabin, from flights on sale now plus our own route list. Always confirm your exact flight and date when you book.
Book directly with the airline. A dog can only be added to your booking on the airline’s own site, where they confirm cabin availability, never through a third-party site. Each card links you straight there.

One stop, if the direct flight doesn't suit
Every airline below takes a dog in the cabin on that leg, and each leg has been checked against the same country rules as a direct flight. Two legs means two check-ins and a dog who has to cope with the change, so it’s the fallback, not the first choice. If you leave the airside area at the stop, that country’s entry rules apply to your dog too.

Note: Large Dog on Board: a dog up to 30 kg can travel in the cabin on its own seat, but only on a named list of domestic Italian flights, and only booked by phone through the CIAO Contact Center. The limit on every other ITA flight is 10 kg including the carrier.
