Planning a sky-high adventure with your furry friend? Let’s make sure their in-flight experience is paws-itively perfect — from choosing the right crate to packing exactly what they’ll need on travel day.
Spacious Suite
Your pet deserves room to unwind. See our crate measuring guide to select a crate that allows them to:
- Stand up comfortably
- Turn around easily
- Snooze with at least 3 inches of headspace
No cramped cabins here!
Fortress of Furtitude
Opt for a sturdy, leak-proof crate with the following features:
- Non-collapsible, hard materials
- Four-sided ventilation
- Metal mesh doors with secure locking pins (no top door loaders!)
Home Sweet Crate
Create a cozy space:
- Line the bottom with absorbent bedding and a familiar blanket or towel.
- We’ll mount food and water dishes (two) inside — frozen water bowls are welcome travel companions!
