Choosing the Pawfect Crate: Your Guide to IATA-Compliant Pet Travel with Across The Pond Pets
Your furry friend deserves a comfy, safe flight! To ensure their ultimate travel experience, choose a crate that meets IATA regulations and their perfect size. Measure your pet's length (A) from nose to tail, add half their elbow-to-elbow distance (B), and voila! You've got the minimum recommended crate length.
