What is a Pet Carrier?
Pet carriers are small portable boxes, crates, or cages used to transport small animals such as cats, lap dogs, miniature pigs, ferrets, chickens, guinea pigs, and so on, from one location to another.
The two main types are the front openers and top openers, although there are other types.

What type of pet carriers are airline-approved?
All our experts recommend soft-sided carriers if you’re bringing your pet onboard because they can fit under a seat better than hard-sided styles.
Most carriers have a weight limit, and limits on the size of your carrier and the combined weight of the carrier and your pet vary from airline to airline.
What size is a pet carrier on a plane?
There are no laws dictating the type of carrier to use, but remember that it must be small enough to fit under a standard airplane seat and should generally not exceed 45 linear inches (length + width + height), or roughly 21.5 by 15.5 by 9 inches. Depending on the airline, carrier size limits may be even smaller.
