Airline Carriers

Airline Pet Carriers for Safe Pet Travel:

Choose from a practical range of airline pet carriers designed for transporting dogs and cats by air. The collection includes pet travel crates in sizes from XSmall and Small through Medium, XL, XXL and Giant, along with a large 120 x 85 x 90cm dog airline carrier for pets weighing up to 61kg.

Several carriers in the range meet Air Cargo requirements, with selected models identified as IATA compliant. Features found across the collection include secure wing nut fasteners, easy-to-use door catches, tie-down holes, ventilation and water dishes. Selected carriers also feature a moat-style floor designed to collect liquid and help keep the animal dry during transport.

Pet Carrier Sizes for Dogs & Cats:

Choosing the correct airline carrier size is particularly important. The range caters for pets of different weights and dimensions, from compact carriers for pets up to 5kg through to larger crates suitable for pets weighing 38kg or more. The medium 61 x 40 x 41cm carrier, for example, has a maximum capacity of 10kg and is suitable for animals such as Shih Tzus, Fox Terriers and large cats.

Rather than choosing by breed alone, measure your pet before purchasing. Your dog or cat should have enough room to stand upright, turn around and lie down without being cramped. For younger animals, consider their expected adult size if the carrier will be used long term.

Airline Carrier Accessories:

The collection also includes useful pet carrier accessories, including kennel cups, a 380ml kennel drinker and a set of four airline carrier wheels. These accessories can help configure a carrier for the practical requirements of pet transport, particularly when handling larger crates.

Preparing Your Pet for Air Travel:

Before travelling, give your pet time to become familiar with its carrier. Placing a familiar blanket or toy inside can help make the travel crate a more recognisable space. Keep your pet well hydrated before the journey and always check your chosen airline's current pet carrier requirements before travelling, as individual airline specifications can vary.
