Size and Weight Restriction

Any stated limit placed by an accommodation provider on the physical size or weight of dogs permitted to stay. This includes numeric weight thresholds such as dogs under 5 kg only or maximum 10 kg, size categories such as small dogs only, and any other policy that caps the permitted size or weight of a guest's dog. A 5 kg or 10 kg cap excludes almost every ordinary family dog, and even a 15 kg limit shuts out the Labradors and Golden Retrievers that most families keep. Size and weight restrictions are reasonable when clearly disclosed and genuinely justified by room dimensions, building constraints, or documented safety requirements. A limit that excludes an ordinary family dog (see the family dog benchmark) with no reason stated in the provider's published policy is the kind of arbitrary restriction this standard exists to surface. An unstated or internal-only justification does not meet that bar.
