This is one of the foremost steps while deciding to get your pet relocated to a new location. It is essential to pick the right size of the crate because your pet is going to spend all the time inside the crate while they are in the process of changing locations. Therefore, the crate needs to have enough but not more than enough space for your pet.
Now, what is important to do is, measure your pet to get the right-sized crate. The method is easy. All you need to do is measure your pet properly. Here are a few guidelines on how that can be done.
Length of the pet – from the tip of the nose to the base/root of the tail,
Height of the pet – from the elbow joint to the ground,
Width of the pet – across shoulders/widest point and
Height of the pet – natural standing position from the top of the head to the floor.
Based on these dimensions and certain calculations, an appropriate crate is finalized for the pet’s flight. Make sure to add those extra 4 inches to the calculated height of the pet so that there is enough headspace and the pet is not cramped in the crate. Once the sizing is rightly done, it is time to pick and order the same. The cost of the crate is going to vary with the choice of the size, ranging between 5000-40000/- (INR), and must be IATA approved.
