IATA & Airline-Compliant Kennels for 2026
Every pet flies in an IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR) Container Requirement 1 kennel. Use the guide below to measure your pet and select the right size — then make sure your crate is outfitted to current airline standards.
How to Measure Your Pet
With your pet standing naturally on all four feet, measure in inches:
- A — Length: tip of nose to base of tail (where it meets the body).
- B — Leg height: floor to elbow joint.
- C — Shoulder width: widest point across the shoulders.
- D — Standing height: floor to the top of the head or tip of the ear (whichever is taller, even when standing fully erect).
Required Kennel Length
A + ½ B
Required Kennel Width
C × 2
Required Kennel Height
D + 3 in clearance above the head/ears
The "3-Position" Rule
Your pet must be able to stand fully, turn around 360°, and lie down naturally inside.
Failure to comply with proper kennel measurements will result in delayed shipping, and additional fees will be added for upgrading the kennel. Customer will be held responsible for additional fees due to delays.
Rule of thumb: No part of your pet should be taller or longer than the kennel when standing outside the kennel.

Real moves. Real families. Real reunions.
Every quote becomes a story. Here are a few we're proud of.
“PCS orders dropped and we had 11 days to move our two labs from Fort Riley to Ramstein. They handled every endorsement, the crate fit, and both boys landed happy. I cried at the airport.”
“Our senior cat needed a same-week move to Honolulu with the Direct Airport Release. They walked us through the 5-Day-or-Less paperwork start to finish. Zero quarantine time.”
“Emergency medical retirement. They put our GSD on a cargo flight to Norfolk in 72 hours, kennel boarding included on the receiving end. Real people answering the phone at 10pm.”
