Pet Crate for Travel & Dog Crate Sizing Guide

Choosing the Best Pet Crate for Travel Comfort

Selecting the appropriate pet crate for travel is crucial for your pet's physical and emotional well-being during the journey. To ensure a comfortable flight for your pet, we provide kennel guidelines and advise on acclimating your pet to its crate.


IATA LAR Crate Requirements:

Openings must be a maximum of 25 mm x 25 mm (1 in x 1 in) for dogs and 19 mm x 19 mm (¾ in x ¾ in) for cats. The openings may have to be smaller in order to be nose and paw proof. Ventilation on the bottom ½ of the crate is not acceptable. If a container has wheels, they must be removed or rendered inoperable.


Materials

  • Fiberglass, metal, rigid plastics, welded wire mesh, solid wood or plywood.
  • All wood used for the construction of containers for international transport must comply with IPPC standards.
  • For all containers the welded wire mesh must be 2.5 mm or thicker for dogs and 2.0 mm or thicker for cats.



*Failure to meet all kennel requirements will result in refusal at drop-off and will need to be rebooked. This may result in additional expenses.
