Selecting the correct travel crate size for your pet is crucial. The crate must not only allow your pet to comfortably stand, sit, and turn around, but it must also comply with International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations to ensure their safety throughout the journey.
When booking your pet’s travel with Jetpets, it is essential to provide accurate measurements of your pet—particularly if you are hiring or purchasing a Jetpets travel crate. Supplying incorrect dimensions may result in the airline refusing to check in your pet, which can lead to delays, cancellations, and costly changes to your travel plans.
To assist with this process, we’ve developed a user-friendly Pet Measurement Tool. Simply upload a photo of your pet and draw a few simple lines to determine accurate dimensions and the recommended crate size. For best results, we recommend using a tablet or desktop browser when accessing the tool.
Selecting the correct crate size for your pet is very important. Not only must the crate be a good size for your pet to stand, sit and turn around, it must also be IATA (International Air Transport Association) complaint to ensure your pet’s safety during its travel. We can provide a quote to include a stay-dry fleece mat at the bottom of the crate to keep your pet comfy and dry throughout their travels.
It is important to make sure your pet is comfortable in the crate, as having incorrect crate sizing can lead to airlines refusing to check in your pet and, leading to delays, cancellations and costly re-booking travel plans.
