Pet carrier size checker
Two measurements and a weight. We size a carrier for your dog and compare it with each airline’s published in-cabin limit. Where an airline doesn’t publish a size, we say so.
Enter length, height and weight to see each airline.
We compare a carrier sized for your dog with the in-cabin limits each airline publishes. Nothing is sent anywhere; it all runs in your browser.
How to measure
Two numbers, dog standing
- Length: from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail, where the tail meets the body. Not to the tip of the tail.
- Height: from the floor to the top of the head while your dog stands naturally.
- Weight: weigh yourself holding your dog, then subtract your own weight.
