Accurate Pet Measurement & Custom Wooden Crates for Safe Travels
Accurate Pet Measurement for IATA-Compliant Travel Crates.
Accurate pet measurement is essential for airline approval and safe international transport. IATA regulations require pets to be able to stand naturally without touching the roof, turn around comfortably and lie down fully extended inside their travel crate.
Our team provides precise measurement guidance to ensure correct crate sizing based on your pet’s height, length and breed. Incorrect crate dimensions can result in airline refusal at check-in, making professional assessment critical.
We supply IATA-compliant plastic or custom wooden travel crates suitable for standard and non-standard breeds, including brachycephalic dogs and large breeds requiring specialist sizing.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Crate Measurement
How Do I Measure My Dog for International Air Travel?
To measure your dog correctly, you need to record their length from nose to base of tail, height from floor to top of head or ears (whichever is higher), and width at the widest point. These measurements help determine the correct IATA compliant crate size.
What Happens If the Crate Is Too Small?
Airlines can refuse transport if the crate does not meet size regulations. Your pet must be able to stand naturally, turn around comfortably, and lie down without restriction inside the crate.
Do Airlines Have Specific Crate Requirements?
Yes. Most airlines follow IATA Live Animal Regulations, which specify ventilation, construction standards and minimum internal dimensions for pet travel crates.
