Frequently Asked Questions

What size crate should I get for my dog?

Choosing the right crate size is essential for your dog's comfort and safety:

  • Measure your dog: Length from nose to base of tail, height from floor to top of head (or ears if erect)
  • Add room for growth: For puppies, choose a crate they'll fit into as adults
  • Proper fit: Your dog should be able to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably
  • Breed-specific guidelines: Different breeds may have specific requirements
  • Adjustable dividers: For puppies, consider crates with dividers that can be moved as they grow

What are the requirements for airline-approved pet carriers?

Airline requirements vary but generally include:

  • Size restrictions: Must fit under the seat in front of you for cabin travel
  • Ventilation: Adequate ventilation on at least two sides
  • Secure closures: Zippers or locks that won't open accidentally
  • Waterproof bottom: Leak-proof lining to contain accidents
  • Labeling: "Live Animal" stickers and owner contact information
  • Material: Most airlines require soft-sided carriers for cabin travel

How do I make my pet comfortable in a carrier?

Making carriers comfortable reduces travel stress:

  • Familiar bedding: Use bedding with your pet's scent from home
  • Positive association: Feed treats and meals in the carrier
  • Gradual introduction: Let your pet explore the carrier at home before travel
  • Comfort items: Include favorite toys or a worn t-shirt with your scent
  • Calming aids: Consider pheromone sprays or calming treats for anxious pets
  • Proper ventilation: Ensure good airflow without drafts

Helpful Resources:

What's the difference between hard-sided and soft-sided carriers?

Each type has different advantages:

  • Hard-sided carriers: More durable, better protection, typically airline-approved for cargo, easier to clean
  • Soft-sided carriers: Lighter weight, more flexible for storage, usually required for cabin travel, more comfortable for pets to lie against
  • Ventilation: Soft-sided often has mesh panels for better airflow
  • Storage: Soft-sided carriers often fold flat for storage
  • Security: Hard-sided offers more security and chew resistance

How do I clean and maintain a pet crate or carrier?

Proper maintenance ensures longevity and hygiene:

  • Regular cleaning: Wipe down weekly with pet-safe disinfectant
  • Removable parts: Wash removable bedding and pads regularly
  • Deep cleaning: Monthly deep clean with appropriate cleaners for the material
  • Inspection: Regularly check for wear, loose parts, or damage
  • Odor control: Use baking soda or pet-safe odor eliminators
  • Storage: Clean thoroughly before storing for extended periods
