The following is a post that Nancy had originally put out and Carolyn Mckenna added to it with some useful info.

I have found two places that have crates 30 in. high. One is PetEdge 1-800-738-3343. I am sure that I got a 30" high crate at PetSmart last year, but the closest I can now find is 28". Our Pet Porter kennels are 27' on the 400, 31' on the 500. (width is no problem, only height). You can see that our 500 crates will not fit into some of the cargo doors; however, the 30" crates will. The only aircraft listed that will not accommodate the 30" crate are the DC9S, DC9 50, (don't know about that DC9 80 "cause it's in cm's and I don't do those things.) Bottom line is that any dog that can be shipped in a 500 (31' high) can be shipped in a crate 30" high. That eliminates only two of the listed aircraft. Hope this helps some with flight problems. Aircraft Height width 320 44" 62" 727 42" 45" 735 34" 45" 737(73S) 34" 45" 757 44" 56" 767 66" 47" DC9S 29" 30 ( will accommodate only PetSmart Bargain Hound DC9(MD80) 31" 35 &52 or Pet Por400) DC9 31 30" 52" ????? DC9 50 29" 35" (only PetSmart bargain Hound or Pet Porter 400) DC9 80 73.6cm 132cm There's that cm stuff DC10 66"/48" 70"/42" MD11 64" 74" Thus you can see that all except the three I made notations about will accommodate a 500 pet Porter (31") or a Petmate Vari Kennel (31") Best Regards, Carolyn ----- Carolyn McKenna 361-293-5389 Trillia German Shepherds ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
