How do I measure my dog or cat for an airline-approved crate?

Airpets needs four measurements of your pet, taken while they’re standing on a flat surface:

• A — length from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail
• B — height from the ground to the elbow joint
• C — width across the shoulders at the widest point
• D — height from the ground to the top of the head (or the tip of the ear for erect-eared breeds)

The minimum airline-compliant crate dimensions are then calculated as:

• Length = A + ½ B
• Width = C × 2
• Height = D + 10 cm

Send these four measurements to your Airpets consultant and we’ll source a crate that meets IATA standards for your pet.
