FAQs

What size carrier does my pet need?

Your pet should be able to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Measure your pet's length (nose to tail base) and height (floor to top of head), then add 2-3 inches to each. For air travel, check specific airline requirements.

Which is better: soft or hard pet carrier?

Soft pet carriers are lighter, easier to store, and more comfortable for short trips. Hard pet carriers offer better protection, are easier to clean, and are required for cargo air travel. Consider your primary use: soft for car trips, hard for air travel, or anxious pets.

Are all carriers airline-approved?

No, airlines have specific requirements. IATA-compliant carriers must have proper ventilation, secure locks, water bowls, and meet size restrictions. Soft carriers may work for in-cabin travel, while cargo requires hard-sided carriers. Always verify with your airline before traveling.
