Bought this of Craig’s list. We need to fly international, but will probably split it between two days one flight per day, flights are about 2-3 hours. So not that far.

I know they need to stand and turn around, which she can do. But it seems a bit cramped. Or is it a good size? She did have more room at the back, she was just at the door trying to get out.

It seems a little snug for long stays, but I would not be concerned about 3-4 hours of use at a time for travel. You will want to check with the airline regulations to know if she requires a water bowl attached to the door as that might take up some more space.

Yeah she will need a bowl attached. I think I’ll just try to get a larger one. Good point with the bowl, i think that will make it far too small.

Thanks!!!

I believe a lot of airlines require the dog to be able to stand with head raised and have it not touch the top of the crate so I would be concerned they would consider this too small.

I used this website for my international move: http://www.pettravel.com/passports_container_requirements.cfm

There's a "sizing your pet crate" section a little ways down.

You can check the requirements on the IATA website: http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/live-animals/pets/Pages/index.aspx

Most airlines follow these regulations. It is stated that the height of the crate is measured as the height from the floor to the top of the dog's head, or the tip of it's ears ( probably if they're erect):
