The PP40 Airline-Approved Pet Carrier is a large-sized pet travel crate that is specifically designed for airline compliance. These kits include a water bowl and funnel so dogs can be provided water from the outside during travel without the need to open the carrier. They also include a raised plastic floor mat to keep the dog raised above any urine spills. This carrier size suits breeds like Cocker Spaniel, Cairn Terrier, West Highland Terrier, Dachshund, Cavalier, and Corgi or breeds that are similarly sized.
This Airline Approved Carrier is designed to meet the standards of IATA (International Air Transport Association) for transporting live animals and has international airline approval (see disclaimer below). These crates have been extensively evaluated, and the manufacturer has obtained approval for use on Australia’s National Carrier, Qantas. Cages are made from quality, durable 3 mm injected moulded plastic. This makes cleaning of the carrier easier, removes quarantine concerns that arise from wood cages when used for international travel, minimises disease transfer from cages not properly cleaned, reduces overall weight and is considered durable enough for reuse. Cages come in two halves, making long-term storage easier. Metal screws and nuts are used to join the top and bottom halves. Plastic screws can break and come apart. Many airlines and transport companies will not accept cages with plastic clips or screws.
Main Features:
- New Design, preferred by more airlines than the older style carriers.
- The grill door is of high quality and strength.
- Easy to open. Simply squeeze two levers together.
- Lightweight and easy to carry.
- Meets stringent IATA regulations*
- Made in Australia.
- Each carrier includes: 1 x funnel, 1 feed/water cup, bolts and nuts to secure the two halves of the carrier together.
- All sizes (excluding the PP60N, PP90 & PP100) include a removable raised floor to keep your pet above and away from any urine spills.

Notes, Hints & Tips:
- The length of your pet (L) must be taken from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail. The height of your pet (H) is from the top of the head to the ground. If your pet has erect ears (Eg German Shepherd), you need to measure from the tips of the ears to the ground (especially when entering the UK). Both measurements must be taken when your pet is standing erect.
- Add 5 cm to both measurements (L) and (H), and that is the length and height your pet's travel crate needs to be.
