The water trick is SOSO smart. It helps it hot places as well! Life saver!

[@ImpactDogCrates]

Awesome, we are so glad to hear this was helpful!

[@Rooiku]

Thank you so much!

[@DianaOldfield]

As for somebody who has flown my large labrador a handful of times between UK, Europe and even Asia (with enormous crates like giant varikennel and PP70) , these information are such life-saver! I'm keen on buying the impact collapsible crate to trial it when I bring my dog back in the UK next year (we're enjoying the beach life in the Philippines for now). Do you ship in the Philippines?

[@spokesman8735]

Thanks for vid and the break down of what to expect! Have you ever flown Hawaiin airlines with your dog?

[@moisesgarcia5332]

Great video !

terrific video. thank you

Unfortunately, as of 2021, Delta will no longer accepts metal crates. Even with the IATA modifications that Impact sells, Delta’s policy is they only allow the plastic dog crates.

[@Mark1Mach2]

Thanks

[@rugriego]

@@Mark1Mach2 you’re welcome. I wish it weren’t so, our impact crate is amazing but Delta wouldn’t accept it, and we had to find a crate big enough for our Dog very last minute.

[@samuelelhakam23]

Hi thank you so much for the video very helpful. Can you please elaborate on the use of a carabiner on the door? Is this an option impact crates can provide? If not can you provide an example product and explain how to use it? I can’t figure out how I’d put one on the non-collapsable stationary crate

[@Eyecandylvr]

Thanks for that! My dog and I are going to Vietnam, the Impact crate is awesome and Sir Patrick loves it !

[@ImpactDogCrates]

Yay that is so great to hear!

[@cliverayner4362]

If you are travelling internationally, the health certificate from your vet is not enough. You also need USDA certification of your vet's health certificate to enter another country, and that takes several days at least to receive back from the USDA office. Do NOT wait to go to the vet the day before your flight!!

[@DessaPython]

a well put together video indeed! i wish i could afford one of these crates, perhaps some day.

[@ImpactDogCrates]

Glad you liked it! We hope you can have one of our crates someday too!

[@ImpactDogCrates]

We're so glad it was helpful for you!

[@rebekahjohnson8761]

Travelling to USA from Australia in future .. For our move got my 2 alaskan malamute x Siberian Huskys .On top of all information and regular checks with the vet ...

[@ImpactDogCrates]

That is a big move, you must be excited!

[@rebekahjohnson8761]

Yes very exciting 🙂

[@ilostwaldo]

Thank you! I was going to ask about the collapsible dog crate! I understand making sure the dog isn't wearing a collar, however what about a harness?

[@ImpactDogCrates]

That's a great question! We don't recommend putting a harness on your dog while flying for the same safety reasons as wearing a collar.

[@justinsigns8287]

great vid- thanks for sharing it! are you renting a cart or carrying your dog and crate by the handles or?

[@ImpactDogCrates]

Hi! We use our wheel cart that easily attaches to the bottom of the crate and when not in use, it can be attached to the top of the crate. No tools necessary to attach/detach it. It also has foot brakes so your crates won't roll away. You can check these out here: www.impactdogcrates.com/collections/accessories/products/dog-crate-cart-200

[@haileycox2305]

Thank you so much for this video. Quick question, how do you take the crate outside etc. I’m sure it’s pretty heavy especially with your dog inside.

[@ImpactDogCrates]

Hi Hailey, we do offer a wheel car to make this easier with your dog inside the crate. The other option would be the handles on the top of the crate. However depending on the size of your dog that can be a little difficult.

[@anagarcia9136]

Thank you so much!! This is very helpful. My chihuahua has never fly before. I feel hopeful flying with Alaska airlines!! QUESTION THO. is a small stuffed animal okay? She never chews her toys, but if she's stressed out is there a possibility. would she choke on it?

[@ImpactDogCrates]

So glad to hear this was helpful info for you! As for flying with a stuffed animal, we don't recommend it incase your pup does decide to chew it and possibly choke with no supervision. You can also ask Alaska airlines or your preferred airlines to find out what you're allowed to put in her crate. Thank you!

[@whynot2734]

do you think a airline that flys pets would be better for your pet I have 150 LB DOG

[@shwell6795]

Hi there. Very informative video! I really enjoyed it, thanks for the content. I'm looking for some advice if possible! I have recently bought a carrier for my dog, it meets IATA standards and the size requirements for the airline (just). My dog fits in the carrier, however I'd call it a "perfect fit" in terms of the length of the crate being almost exactly the length of my dog (tip of nose to base of tail) and the height of the crate being equally snug when compared to the top of my dogs ears sitting down or standing up. He can fully stand up, sit down and turn around in the crate but I'm worried that I'll be turned away at the airport on the day of departure because there isn't masses of excess room beyond the measurements of my dog (however, width wise, he has plenty of space). My questions is; generally, are they more concerned with the dimensions, IATA standards and weight limit being met than the carrier being "roomy" for your pet? Thanks!

[@ImpactDogCrates]

Hi there! This is a great question! Unfortunately more often then not it can come down to the gate agent working that day. Generally speaking though if your dog is not crouched over and can easily turn around you should be in good shape!

[@shwell6795]

@@ImpactDogCrates Thanks a lot!

[@kathryndubik6346]

I am in the same predicament, also worried that once at the airport my Wheaton won't want to go back in the carrier.

[@gobucs3146]

If your trip is longer than 10 days, I assume you need to find another vet for papers to get home?

[@BlazinSpeed]

Just received my impact collapsable crate Im flying on Hawaiian Airlines next year with my dog he is booked on my flight. Flying JFK to Honolulu. What do you do with the keys? Is the crate door locked? Why no collar on the dog ? My dog already loves the crate & I use same bones. Great video.

[@ImpactDogCrates]

Thank you for your support! You will not want to lock the crate when flying in the event the airline needs to open it, especially if there is an emergency situation. The concern for the collar is if it has any hooks or tags that could potentially get stuck in a ventilation hole. This is very unlikely and generally only for a dog that is not well crate trained. We are glad to hear your dog loves the crate!

[@BlazinSpeed]

@@ImpactDogCrates Thank you!

[@heidipeirano885]

what abt when you need to go out of the country & you need the USDA endorsement & signatura, how long it will take you to get those documents singed after you got the certificate from the vet.??

[@Lilliz91]

You have to make an appointment with them, but they’re valid for 5 days so doing it day before flight is what I found the best.

[@richardbeddow7933]

Are Belgian Malinois allowed on Planes? Should I put on crate that the dog was trained as a personal security guard dog? Should I lock the crate and put the key in a bag on top of crate? Thank you

[@Synfulz]

I flew my Mal to Philippines. But sadly as cargo. But the crate worked well. She arrived safe and secure.

[@marionangeletti8193]

Hi, my name is Marion I am Italian and I will be flying with my two black standard schnauzers from Milan to Chicago very shortly via Lufthansa or Air France… do you recommend any of the two? Is there a specific area of the airport where I will be collecting my dogs? I didn’t really understand that part. Thank you for answering me

[@ImpactDogCrates]

Hello Marion, it will be best to speak with your airline directly for the location to collect your dogs. Please feel free to reach out to our team on our website they would be happy to help!

[@laurabalestra5005]

Hi, when do you feed your dog last before a flight?

[@ImpactDogCrates]

Hello, that is a great question! This can vary between dogs and how long your flight is. We would encourage you to speak with a trainer who you can provide detailed information about your dog and flight to find out the best time frame.

[@jeremy24997]

Can you fly with the anxiety crate?

[@ImpactDogCrates]

Hi! Yes it's possible, since this crate is heavier than our other models, some airlines have some restrictions. We recommend calling your airline ahead of time to see which pet cargo regulations they have in place as each airline is a bit different. If you have any further questions, feel free to chat with us via call or text 208 908 0118. Thank you!

[@Synfulz]

I flew my dog in one from SFO to Manila. She arrived safe and secure. Terrified the he'll out of me though. She flew on Philippine Air.

Should I put wheels on my dogs crate?

[@Synfulz]

I understand that do not allow, but check your airline.

[@ImpactDogCrates]

Great question! We recommend that you call the airline before flying just in case they have specific regulations for pets and crates. You can also email us at [e-mail] and our reps would be happy to answer your questions!

None of my 3 GSD's will chew Nyla bones, they want nothing to do with them, I've probably bought 6 or more and they don't touch them at all.

About how much does the crate cost for a 45 pounds dog please thank you.
