Because brachycephalic pets are booked through pet travel professionals, they also provide the necessary crate for your pet's trip. Due to the weakened respiratory systems, these breeds require larger crates than other pets of similar size.

This is how you should measure the dimensions of the crate. Understand that these measurements should be considered as the minimum required:

A + ½ B = Length
C = Height
D x 2 = Width’
