CUSTOM CONTAINERS
Our professional staff will guide you to ensure you purchase the right size crate for your pet, we will also assist you with the crate specifications as per the IATA ANIMAL REGULATIONS when exporting all other types of animals. No crate is too big to handle. Metal & wooden crates are accepted by most airlines to accommodate the larger animals like lions, giraffe’s & Rhinos when flying.
Attention to detail
Ensuring your pet flies in the right size crate will reduce stress and ensure comfort and security throughout the journey. That is why all our crates are custom made to suit each individual pet that flies with us.
The airway bill (ticket) determines the cost of flying your pet with a specific airline and is directly correlated to the volume of the crate in which pets travel. A few centimeters longer than is needed – could mean your pet is not going to feel as snug and safe as it could in a bespoke crate, and could potentially cost unnecessary extra charges.
