Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure my cat for a carrier?
Measure your cat's body length from nose to the base of the tail (not including the tail). Measure height from the floor to the top of the head while standing. The carrier should be large enough for your cat to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
What size carrier do I need for airline travel?
Most airlines require in-cabin carriers to fit under the seat, typically no larger than 18 x 11 x 11 inches. However, dimensions vary by airline, so always check with your specific carrier before booking.
Should I get a hard or soft carrier?
Hard carriers are more durable and easier to clean, making them ideal for larger cats or frequent travel. Soft carriers are lighter and more flexible, good for smaller cats and short trips. For airline cabin travel, soft carriers that can flex to fit under the seat are often preferred.
