We understand different animals have different needs. Over the last 30 years, Dogtainers has established close relationships with leading airlines and transport companies. This has resulted in us working with them to design the most comfortable means of transport for individual animals. For example, larger dogs travelling domestically are housed in special Dogtainers steel mesh crates and plastic sky kennels. While smaller dogs and cats, travel in plastic Petainers. (These can be used as beds, litter trays or kennels after the journey). All crates are airline approved and come in various sizes up to the very largest dog. You can use these crates on both domestic and international flights. When travelling interstate you can take your pets with you on domestic airlines as excess baggage. When making your reservation simply notify the airline that you intend to take your pet with you. Then call us with the flight details and a crate will be waiting for you when you arrive at the airport 90 minutes prior to departure. A Dogtainers representative will collect the crate after arrival. When, or if, you and your pet are returning, there will be a sterilised and disinfected crate ready 90 minutes before your flight back. Hire crates are not permitted to be taken from airport premises. Pet safe road transit crates are also available for sale. Insist on first-class, not cargo class.
