Measure nose-to-tail + paw-to-ear for accurate sizing.
Use only airline-grade hard plastic or metal crates.
Soft crates are allowed only for in-cabin travel.

🪶

Ventilation & Safety Standards

IATA mandates minimum 3-side ventilation for air circulation. Crates must have non-toxic materials and strong locking mechanisms.

Ventilation holes must be unobstructed.
Doors should have a dual latch or spring lock.
Handles are mandatory for safe lifting.

💧

Comfort & Hydration Setup

Each crate is fitted with absorbent bedding, spill-proof water bowl, and an optional food tray for longer flights. FidoJet ensures crate hygiene before every travel.

Moisture-absorbent mat placed under bedding.
Small toy or blanket for familiar scent comfort.
Water bowl attached inside door frame for accessibility.

🛃

Labeling & Compliance

Every FidoJet crate includes a Live Animal label, orientation arrows, and pet identification tag. For international relocations, airline-approved stickers and documents are attached externally.

Label includes owner name, contact, and flight number.
Health and vaccination certificates are attached in a pouch.
