MEASURING YOUR CAT OR DOG FOR A PET CRATE

Whether you are traveling by car, ship or plane, you will need a well-built pet crate that will serve to keep your pet
safe and comfortable while traveling. Don't risk your pet escaping its crate. Get a quality, well built crate for your
pet!

Before ordering a crate, we recommend the following:

1. Measure your pet accurately using the diagram below


2. Use your pet's measurements to select your crate using the chart below

Measuring a pet can be difficult with a tape measure. We suggest that you use a piece of string, then measure the
string after taking the measurement.

Measure Your Pet

First, measure your dog or cat from tip of nose to base of tail. Do not include any part of the tail in your
measurement. This is measurement A.

Then, measure from the elbow joint in the forearm to the ground. This is measurement B.

Then measure across your pet's shoulders. This is measurement C.

Then, when your pet is standing erect, measure from the top of your pet's head to the ground. Add the measurement
from the top of the head to the tip of your dog's or cat's ears if the ears are held erect. This is measurement D.

Kennel Length: A + 1/2 B*

Kennel Width: C x 2*

Kennel Height: D*
*NOTE: These are minimums specified by IATA. Individual airlines can increase these measurements. Pet owners
are encouraged to verify crate requirements with their airlines if traveling internationally.
Snub-nosed pets need a minimum of 10% additional dimensions.
