Airline approved dog crates must have ventilation on all four sides (see the sky kennel). They must have extra secure locking doors. It is advisable to put a comfort mat and extra absorbent pad inside during travel.

Wire dog crates can never be used for transport on an air carrier. They are, however, very convenient for housebreaking your puppy or confining an older dog who might do damage to the house.

Soft-sided dog carriers will often fit under the seat on an airplane. For small pets they are great "pet pockets", and they allow you to take your baby along.
