Airline Carrier For Pets

Airline Pet Carriers for Dogs & Cats:

Airline pet carriers provide secure, purpose-built transport for dogs and cats travelling by air. This collection includes a range of rigid pet travel crates from compact XSmall and Small carriers for pets up to 5kg through to Medium, XL, XXL and Giant sizes for larger animals. The largest dog airline carrier measures 120 x 85 x 90cm and accommodates pets up to 61kg.

Many of the carriers are designed to meet Air Cargo requirements, with selected models specifically identified as IATA compliant. Depending on the size and model, practical features include wing nut fasteners, secure door catches, tie-down holes, water dishes and moat-style floors that collect liquid to help keep pets dry during transport.

Choosing the Right Airline Carrier Size:

Correct sizing is essential when choosing a pet carrier for air travel. The collection covers a broad range of dimensions and weight capacities, including 61 x 40 x 41cm Medium carriers for pets up to 10kg, an 81 x 56 x 59cm XL carrier for pets up to 25kg, a 90 x 60 x 68cm XXL carrier for pets up to 38kg and larger options for heavier animals.

Measure your pet rather than relying only on a size label or breed. Your dog or cat should be able to stand upright, lie down without being cramped and turn around inside the carrier. One of the Medium carriers is specifically listed as suitable for animals such as Shih Tzus, Fox Terriers and large cats, but individual pet measurements remain important.

Pet Airline Carrier Accessories:

Alongside complete airline carriers, the collection includes accessories for pet travel crates. These include kennel cups in different sizes, a 380ml kennel drinker and a set of four airline carrier wheels. The 120 x 85 x 90cm carrier also includes four wheels and a water dish.

Before flying, check your airline's current pet transport and carrier requirements, as specifications can differ between airlines. Allowing your pet time to become familiar with its travel crate before the journey can also help prepare it for air travel.
