FAQ

What does IATA approved mean for a pet carrier?

IATA stands for the International Air Transport Association, the global body that sets the standards for the safe transport of live animals by air. An IATA approved carrier meets the specific construction, size, ventilation, and labeling requirements outlined in the IATA Live Animals Regulations, which are adopted by most major airlines worldwide as the minimum standard for accepting pets as cargo or accompanied baggage. Travelling with an IATA compliant carrier significantly reduces the risk of your pet being refused at check-in.

How do I choose the right size IATA carrier for my dog?

Your dog must be able to stand up with their head upright without touching the roof, turn around fully, and lie down in a natural position inside the carrier. Measure your dog's length from nose to tail base, height from floor to top of head while standing, and width at the widest point, then choose the carrier size that accommodates all three measurements comfortably. A carrier that is too small will be rejected by the airline and is uncomfortable for your dog during the journey.

How do I prepare my dog for travelling in an IATA carrier?

Introduce the carrier well in advance of your travel date by placing it in your home with the door open and encouraging your dog to explore it freely. Place familiar bedding and treats inside to build positive associations. Gradually increase the time your dog spends inside the closed carrier and practice short car journeys with the carrier to help your dog become comfortable with the enclosed space before the actual flight. A dog that is already comfortable in their carrier will experience significantly less stress during air travel.

Do I need any documentation when travelling with my dog by air?

Yes, most airlines and destination countries require health certificates issued by a licensed veterinarian within a specified period before travel, up-to-date vaccination records, microchip documentation, and in some cases import permits or parasite treatment certificates depending on the destination. Requirements vary significantly by airline, country, and whether your dog travels in the cabin or hold. Always check the specific requirements of both your airline and your destination country well in advance of your travel date.
