Will my 9 pound, 14" tall Havanese dog fit in this crate? Flight time is 2.5 hours + 2 more hours at the airport????

I'd probably go up to next size. It would be a tight fit. For that long of a time in there I'd get something bigger.

My cat an adult mackerel tabby fits in it fine, he had room to stretch out and sit up. He even pooped in it on the way home from the vets office. Since my use is for vet clinic runs, not extended travel, I'd probably get the next size up give your dog extra room so you could add bedding and such.

I have no idea, but I just measured my doxie and she is 21" long, weighs 18 lbs. I don't think she would fit in this or fit under a seat. Unfortunately I will not leave her home and will not put her in the cargo hold of the plane. I guess I don't travel then!

Marilynoz, I am sure that this carrying case will work just fine for you. The case is soft, but both ends of the case are semi-firm. Just enough so that the case retains it shape, but flexible enough that you can collapse the ends down to fit under seat in front you. My two Shih Tzus did well, on their first flight. An international 6.5 hour flight, not including the long wait at the airport needed for international hops. My dogs are 8 and 9lbs and I opted for a separate carry bag for both of them. But your kitties might be able to tolerate one anthers company in the same carry case on a less lengthy journey. Happy Travels!!

I am sorry to say I had to return the kennel, my dear dog passed over Rainbow Bridge right before I got the kennel......however I can tell you that it will NOT fit in a suitcase, it is large and flat for a car. Hope that helps

Best thing to do is contact the AA via Web or Phone to get their allowed measurements. But also know that In cases airlines are a bit tighter in under the seat measurements this kennel has a hidden wire that you can remove from the top when traveling. You will see a zipper at the top where it is secured.

It's 36" long and 23" wide so I consider it a little small for my 80lb dog but my 50 lb one is perfect for it. I would say a dog your size would be fine for a trip in it but day to day it's a little small. Great crate, my girl was wrecking the plastic tray beds and destroying the crate. She can't get out of this one

Like theatre mom, I too purchased this (size 36) for a 40 lb puppy to use in a pet friendly hotel. The size I bought is much too big to be set up inside my car; perhaps in the back of an SUV. It would definitely hold two 10-lb dogs. I suggest you measure the vehicle space you have in order to pick the right size crate you want.

If you really need a good suggestion I would like to know his/her age, weight, hight and length. My dog is a mixed breed with long body and long legs. I guess she is a in between sizes for the other manufactures' crates. They are either too small or too big. Some manufacture offer buying guide based on dog's weight. That didn't work for our tall and thin dog. Some older dogs can be less flexible that they need more room to turn around in it too. If your dog is still a puppy, get used ones until he stop growing. The rule of sum is the crate should be tall enought for him to stand and wide or long enough for her to turn around. I hope this will help you. Good luck!

I can't say whether this crate is airline approved or not but... in my opinion, it seems much too light in construction to endure everyday routine handling by airline personnel or others. One of my dogs is 15 lbs. and we have a medium size Compass crate. It works for transporting this dog in a car but even that has some limitations as the crate does not have holes at the outside corners for tie downs. Hope this helps.

It depends what your purpose is in getting this crate. I have an 9 lb Pomeranian and he is crated during the day while I work, and I have one that is rather large for him 22" wide by about 24" tall. I keep this crate set up all the time. I have smaller crates for him also, but this size works well because it is sturdy enough. It was quick to set up using zip ties, so have a pack of zip ties on hand.

I have a 55lb pittie mix with GIANT ears. I raised that same question with the cargo handlers and they said as long as his head wasn't touching he was ok, BUT that TSA would have the final say since he was flying as a cargo passenger and not on a cargo plane. My best advice is to touch base with your carrier directly and/or TSA.

Not sure how big your dog is. Our miniature poodle is 12 lbs. and rather long. She did fit and we were able to take her on the airplane in it. It fits under the seat. However, she has not been crated in a long and she was not too happy about it, she tried to eat her way out at first, but finally settled down and went to sleep.

The large will fit under middle and window seats on SW, not under aisle seats. My 16 lb havanese fits nicely - cannot stand up inside, but seems content and comfy. A 20 pound dog will fit in the carrier, may be a bit snug.We have been on six short 2 hour flights with no problem.....sometines he's gotten so comfortable in the carrier thst we have to drag him out. Happy travels!

This is a great roomy crate for larger dogs. However, I don't think you would want to repeatedly set it up and I don't believe that it would/could be done in under two minutes.

My cats are 12lbs and it's OK for them but 15lbs might be pushing it. If your dog is under the seat inside the plane (and not below the plane with the luggage), it could work. But it would be snug to fit a water bowl or food. However, if you're flying with the dog you should be able to open it for him/her. I would take the measurements of this, cut up cardboard to match each side, and tape it together and see how your dog fits inside before ordering. Or go to a store that sells it and bring your pup to see how he fits.

Definitely not. You would need a crate with solid sides made of something like plastic or metal. The crate has to be large enough for the dog to stand up, must have food/water dish, secure door and ventilation. Check with the airline for the size requirements. Some require a particular type of crate.
