This is useful as i am preparing to bring my cat to the UK
American Airlines requires the door "rip ties" to be installed by their agent AFTER the pet and the crate has been inspected (take extra ties and tape them to the top with duct tape). They also place all the stickers on the crate for you.
Thank you it was useful
im traveling with my 65 lbs lab airline states for the crate to have handles my crate has all of the above except for the handles im wondering if that will be an issue .
don't the bolts now have to be metal?? I think you need to buy additional metal bolts and make additional holes or they won't be accepted...
PetMate crates now come with metal bolts.
I have a "Petmate" pet carrier that had only 2 metal bolts with plastic nuts. The other 2 were missing). So I supplied 2 other slotted head metal bolts, with a washer right below the slotted head, going through the top side. On the bottom side, I have another washer, a nut, plus a second lock nut to secure it from the bottom. Of course, I finger tightened the 2 original metal bolts with their plastic nuts. And I used a screwdriver and wrench to tighten my jerryrig fasteners. No zipties and airline labels of course. But other than that, is my Petmate otherwise TSA and airline kosher?
How did you manage without a handle to pull the carrier? The one I need to buy has no handle, I am afraid it might be an issue.
Only the small flight crates have a handle on top of the crate. The big crates don't have a handle as it will be too heavy to hold it with a handle.
To pick-up the crate, you'll need 2 people. Each will hold the crate using the side handles/plastic.
is there any camera which u can put inside the crate to monitor the dog?
From our knowledge, no.
I would have thought the bolts should go in from the top and the nots would go on the protruding end from below. Is there a specific reason for doing it the way it is in this video? Your way, if the nut gets shaken loose and pops off during transit or rough handling, gravity will cause the bolt to drop out; but if you put the bolt in through the top hole, the head holds it while you tighten it from below, and even if the nut gets lost, it is less likely that the bolt will be lost, because gravity is working for you this way.
The base of the bolt has a square section that fits into a square hole on the plastic shell. The nuts are pretty secure (I just put mine together) plus you will put large zip ties on four corners for air travel.
This is per the intructions...some other cages may be different.
Can my dog fly in cabin with one of those or does it have to be a soft carrier
probably soft, but different airlines have different rules.
These crates are meant for taking a pet in the hold of the plane. If you want to take a pet in cabin, you should purchase a soft carrier.
How do you get those stickers, or the airline gives you the stickers once you are at the airport?
Stickers come with crate, you can order them from Amazon if you need
From where we can buy crate (case) ?
I wanna travel with a 12 weeks Westie puppy. Do I need a Iata crate or a soft one? I travel to Switzerland, with Swiss airlines. It says on the website that I can take her in my cabin, if she is small and under 8 Kg. I understood I will keep her under my chair, if Im not wrong.
If you want to take your puppy in cabin, we recommend you purchase a soft carrier.
I'm flying to Switzerland with two large dogs. What did you end up doing?
how much is it for my dog to fly with me overseas to morroco from NYC and does the airport zip tie it and give him the kennel water bowl or is that stuff I have to buy plz plz lemme know!!
You need to bring the water bowl with your own flight crate. The airline will only provide stickers and cable ties. You should get in touch with an agency in NY to get from them a quote. We are located in Israel :)
@@pets2fly269 ok thanks sm is the water bowl NEEDED? Because u don’t know where to find it
@@nadeenelhennawy5814 A water bowl is needed. You may place any bowl. You don't have to use something special.
Do you need a water funnel?
Where did you buy that crate water funnel from?
Any water funnel should do the job.
Where did you buy the kennel? please!
Be careful some airlines require metal botls. These are plastic and need changed. Thanks for the video!
The bolts are metal, the nuts aren't. Most airlines still accept the plastic nuts. Anyways, nowadays this brand comes with metal nuts :)
@@pets2fly269 Hi! Do you know wich airlines still accept plastic nuts? Thanks!
Can i take cat to Manchester from India
The title of the video should actually be "How to assemble a crate" 🤦
no, cuz you don't do all of these things just to keep a crate in your car or in your home. airlines have very specific requirements that need to be followed or else the crate can't be used.
hello great video, did you made yourself holes for the cable ties in the corner? i am going to fly the first time from Spain to Holland with my dog and i just wanna be sure i didn't forget anything that is necessary do make modifications to the kennel, are wheels necessary? it seems to make the kennel a bit more unstable?
We didn't do the holes. PetMate crates have these holes in the corners for placing cable ties.
Wheels aren't recommended.
what is that funnel?
Are those cable ties a good idea in case of an emergency??
Nowadays, cables ties are mandatory by most airlines.
@@pets2fly269 so baasicly cable ties will be aplied at the moment you give your dog away to the airline?
@@mauricelamain1978 Yes, exactly!
Does my crate have to have the metal sides? Or does that not matter
Hi Hailey, the regulations don't state that the sides need to be made out of metal. The sides need to have ventilation holes. There are crates that just have holes in the plastic.
May i know what size is this? Can a samoyed fit in size Large?
40*27*30 inches
It should be ok for a Samoyed but you may need one size up
Hello! Nice video, I will fly to Pakistan 🇵🇰 from Chicago and airlines have banned emotional support animals, I have two small dogs and I don’t know if it’s a good idea flying them as checked baggage 🧳 ? I am so depressed because I love my dogs and I don’t want anything bad happens to them ... 🥺 thank you 🙏🏻
Hi, how was your trip? I am planning to fly from Pakistan to Sweden with my 4 cats. How was your experience? How did the Pakistani airport security react to the dogs?
@@maazzafar2822 Hi, everything was fine, but I only brought one of my dogs because the airline didn’t allow me to fly in cabin with two 🥺
@@Mexicana_Pakistani Thanks. Very glad to hear everything went well. Mine will have to travel in the cargo bay. I'm more afraid of carrying 4 scared cats through airport security than having them travel in the cargo bay.
@@maazzafar2822 Really? 😳
@@Mexicana_Pakistani
Yes, there is no other option. The vets say it should be safe as long as I take the recommend precautions. I will probably travel in fall, so the risks of hyperthermia or hypothermia will be minimal. Also, my flight is much shorter than yours.
I don't like the idea of having something requiring special tools for opening the box. It must to be openable by hands in case of emergency. it's 2023.
how big is this cause i want my american pitbull terrier to fly with me so
Pitbulls can't/shouldn't fly with plastic crates...You need a metal or wooden crate.
Can I use the Crate that has wheels?
Hello, what size is this crate please?
40*27*30 inches
Most airlines require all metal hardware
What is the funnel for, you won’t be filling the water during the flight 😹
Where i can get the external funnel?
Most appliance stores have funnels for sale :)
You don't need the metal nuts? You used the plastic ones. I didn't think this was acceptable.
Nowadays, these crates come with metal nuts. It is important to note that most airlines still accept the plastic nuts.
@@pets2fly269 Mine didn't. I bought metal ones, but honestly I don't think the airline cared. I flew on Swiss and they are very tolerant of pets. They did say they were happy I brought plastic ties to secure the doors. On a previous flight, when they landed the dog escaped the crate and when they opened the bay door the dog was wagging its tail happy to greet them.
What's the dimension of the cage
The crate in the video is 40*27*30 inches
No plastic nuts...
Nowadays the crates come with metals nuts but plastic nuts are still approved on most airlines.
I was able to fly Lufthansa with plastic nuts actually with locker washer, regular washer and metal nut. I zip tied each corner of the crate as well.
My husky would chew that cable ties in the front.
Don't worry, it won't help him escape :)
