Travel Crate Size Calculator

What size travel crate will I require for my pet?

Your pet needs to be able to stand up, turn around and comfortably lie down in the travel container. A travel container that provides a lot of extra space is not recommended by the airlines for your pet’s safety during turbulence.

How to size Your Pet

  1. Length in cm = Nose to base of tail – tail excluded
  2. Height in cm = Floor to top of head while standing
  3. Width in cm = At the widest point sizing your pet diagram

Once the measurements have been made, use the following formula to calculate the best possible option for your four-legged friend.
