Crates
At Royal Hermes, we prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being throughout their relocation journey. That begins with the use of top-quality, airline-approved travel crates that strictly adhere to IATA (International Air Transport Association) standards. Each crate is carefully chosen based on your pet’s size, breed, and travel duration to ensure they have ample space to sit, stand, lie down, and turn around comfortably, minimizing stress during transit.
Our crates are constructed from durable, pet-safe materials that are designed to withstand long-distance travel, turbulence, and temperature changes. They feature strong locking systems to prevent any accidental openings, as well as secure ventilation on all sides to maintain proper airflow. We also equip each crate with essential in-flight accessories such as absorbent bedding to manage waste and a non-spill water bowl to keep your pet hydrated throughout the journey.
Hygiene is a key factor in pet travel, which is why all crates are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before every use. For pets with unique medical or behavioral needs, we provide tailor-made crate solutions that meet specific airline and destination country requirements. Our team also ensures each crate is clearly labeled with your pet’s details, feeding and care instructions, and emergency contact information, helping airline staff handle your pet with extra care and attention at every point of transit.
Whether your pet is traveling across cities or continents, our thoughtfully prepared crates offer the perfect blend of safety, comfort, and peace of mind — because every pet deserves a secure and stress-free journey.
Measuring Your Pet
Measuring your pet correctly is essential to ensure the travel crate provides enough space for comfort and safety during their journey, and if your pet finds it difficult to stay still, having someone assist you can make the process easier; placing your pet in a natural standing position next to a wall and marking points for length from nose to tail base, height from ground to top of head or ears, and width from shoulder to shoulder can help get accurate results, and using these marks on the wall makes measuring simpler and more precise; always make sure your pet is standing naturally while measuring, as sitting or lying down can lead to incorrect sizing, and accurate measurements help us recommend the right crate size so your pet can sit, stand, and turn around comfortably, which is not only important for their comfort but also ensures the crate meets airline requirements and avoids delays or rejections at the airport.
How to Measure your dog for a travel crate
Measuring your dog for the right kennel size is one of the first important decisions you can make when relocating your dog. If you don’t choose correctly, the airlines can (and will) refuse to send them.
So, how do I know what is the right size kennels for my pet?” A great start is to use the image at the left with the following legend.
A = Length of animal from nose to root of tail.
B = Height from ground to elbow joint.
C = Width across shoulders.
D = Height of animal in a natural standing position from the top of the head. It is also helpful to get the measurement to the ear tip.
We recommend that you give it an inch to an a inch and a half bigger so that it gives the pets some room to move in and also then there shouldn’t be any problems at the airport. The official rules require 3 inches from the top of your dog’s head to the top of the kennel. The airlines have become increasingly insistent on this rule so try to find a kennel with sufficient head space.
