Petmate Deluxe Vari Kennel Pet Carrier for Dogs XL
Petmate Deluxe Vari Kennel Pet Carrier for Dogs XL This is the best “airline approved” crate for large dogs. I highly recommend this brand, even if you’d rather buy a new one! I flew my tall vizsla internationally from Seattle, USA to Berlin, Germany in this crate and I (we) had a great experience flying. Sadly, we have since had a loss in the family and will no longer be needing this crate. Most airlines require a plastic kennel that's bolted together with plastic or metal treaded screws (knob, clamp and clamshell locks are strictly forbidden on almost every airline), not top loading, allow for at least 1.5" of clearance from the sides on all sides, and vented on four sides. The image from Petmate shows holes in the rear vents, but it actually doesn’t come with them. To meet international airline regulations, I used a drill and large bit, and made holes in the back panel. I also replaced the plastic bolts with metal ones, in order to meet airline standards. For pets up to cm long & 71,1 tall, 50 kg Petmate Vari Kennel Perfect for housebreaking, the Petmate Vari Kennel is ideal for training and traveling. Features include tough durable construction with easy-open squeeze latch, vents on side walls, interior moat to keep pets dry and tie-down strap holes on the perimeter for zip-tie installation and extra security during airline travel. Vari Kennels in sizes 19 inch and 24 inch offer a built-in compartment cover for added storage of treats or other pet needs and the seatbelt loop is a notch in the top of the kennel so you can secure it in a car seat. This Petmate kennel is easy-to-assembly--no tools required. Pet parents should always confirm the airline travel requirements for each trip. Made in the USA. "Airline genehmigt" Kiste für große Hunde
