Flight Kennel Requirements

The Animal Welfare Act, a federal law enforced by the USDA, sets the standards for animal transportation. Your pet must be able to stand up, lie down, sit and turn around in the travel container. Separate food and water cups are required.

A simple test to see if your shipping container is the correct size for your animal is to have the animal stand directly next to the container. If any part of your pet is taller than the shipping container, you need the next larger size.

If you are supplying the shipping container, Air Animal reserves the right to replace and/or modify the shipping container at additional cost, to meet federal standards.
