If you’re planning a flight longer than eight hours, Delta Air Lines says you can’t bring an emotional-support animal with you.

The rules for pups are getting tighter, too. Neither support animals nor trained service animals will be allowed on any Delta flights if they are under 4 months old.

Delta says the changes take effect Dec. 18.
