Travel crate planning tool
Start your pet’s travel-crate conversation with clear measurements.
Use centimetres to estimate minimum internal dimensions from your pet’s measured body size. This is a practical CR1 planning tool, not an airline approval or booking confirmation.
Measure first
Record the four measurements below.
Take measurements with your pet standing naturally. The formula follows IATA’s public guidance for a minimum internal container estimate: length A + ½B, width C × 2 for one animal, and height D plus bedding.
- A — Body length
- From the nose to the base of the tail.
- B — Leg height
- From the ground to the elbow joint.
- C — Body width
- Across the shoulders at the widest point.
- D — Standing height
- From the ground to the top of the ears or head, whichever is higher.
Confirm before you buy or book.
Container rules, materials, ventilation, occupancy, route restrictions, and airline acceptance can change. Confirm the current operating-carrier policy and your pet’s individual suitability before travel. IATA does not approve or endorse a particular container brand.
