Size and weight restrictions are rules that limit which dogs are allowed based on how big or heavy they are. These restrictions are often expressed as specific weight limits, size categories such as “small dogs only,” or similar wording, and in practice determine whether normal family dogs are excluded before any other factors are considered.
Size and Weight Restrictions refer to any stated limits placed by an accommodation provider on the physical size or weight of dogs permitted to stay, as used within the Dog Friendly Standard (RDFS-01). The term encompasses restrictions expressed by numerical thresholds, descriptive categories, or equivalent formulations, regardless of how they are presented, and is concerned with the existence and form of such limits rather than their justification, appropriateness, or practical effect.
