IATA approved Kennels

When flying with a pet it is required that they have an airline approved kennel according to international pet welfare standards and practices. It must also follow approved standards in sizing and preparation of IATA (International Air Transport Association). As this kennel will be your pet’s home for the entirety of their travels, it is important to purchase the correct kennel for your travel plans and for your pet. Whether you are traveling with your pet in the cabin, in excess baggage or traveling alone as manifested cargo, your kennel must comply with the airlines individual requirements. Size restrictions and requirements vary per pet, destination, type of shipment, and airline.

We highly recommend that you do not purchase your kennel or carrier until after you consult with a Terminal4Pets pet transportation specialist in order to ensure your pet will be able to fly safely and comfortably with you.

Terminal4Pets recognizes the need to prepare not only the kennel, but also your pet for the kennel. Our unique kenneling service includes our professional guidance individualized to your pet’s needs to assist them to feel comfortable in the kennel for travel. Our pet transportation specialists will guide you throughout the training process making sure you and your pet are prepared for the flight.

Measuring your pet

How you measure your pet is a crucial step in purchasing the correct kennel. Animal welfare and airline regulations mandate that your pet must have enough space to sit, stand, and comfortably turn around in their kennel.   For soft carriers, your pet must fit comfortably in their carrier under your seat. As this is their home for the entirety of the flight you want to be sure to measure them correctly for their kennel.

You must measure from the top of their head (at the highest point) down to the floor for height and from the tip of their nose to their behind for length, excluding the tail. A tip for anyone struggling with getting their pet to stand still for measurements… have them stand against a wall, put your hand on their head, let them move, and measure from your hand.

Kennel training

Not all pets feel comfortable in a kennel or carrier at first. It may take them time to get used to it. However over time they start to feel safe and secure inside, which is the feeling we want them to have during their travels. Therefore we recommend kennel training prior to flight.

Kennel training starts with purchasing your airline approved kennel in advance. Brining your kennel home will give your pet the opportunity to slowly acclimate to it. Put a comfy blanket and your pets favorite toy inside to make them comfortable. If they are hesitant you can put treats inside to encourage them to enter.  For some pets it can take time so be patient. Terminal4Pets pet transportation specialists are here to assist with more tips tailored to your specific pet so contact us today.

A very big thank you to Ahava and all the team for bringing our beloved fur family from Australia to Israel (2 cats and 2 dogs). It was a complex job given the mixed breeds of our rescue pups and the effects of covid on the options available in the pet transport industry. Ahava was so professional and patient and went beyond the call of duty to assist us. Her communication was prompt and informative. Her knowledge and professionalism were exceptional. We will definitely use them should we need to return to Oz. Thank you, Ahava!!!

Amazing service from Ahava and the team. Moving a dog from Israel to the UK is particularly complicated (and my situation involved various delays and pauses) but they were happy to wait for as long as needed until we were ready to move. They got everything in order, they were always responsive (including at 11pm when I landed in Paris and had a question) and had great communication with my vet also. Highly recommend for the most stress free possible experience !

My experience with Terminal4Pets was unbelievably easy and efficient. I lived in Israel for a few years and had experienced many different approaches to business and customer service - mostly less that standard. T4P were amazingly responsive and treated my dog so very well. They worked with the kennel that he was staying at and got him to the US without ANY issues. When the airline gave them a challenge, T4P quickly approached me with reasonable options that helped me stay in control of my dog's itinerary and get him here quickly. I highly recommend them!
