Whether you’re going on vacation, visiting the vet, or flying with your dog, this Skudo box is designed with comfort, safety, and ease of use in mind.

Suitable for air travel with screw set

This transport box complies with IATA air transport guidelines , provided you use the separately available screw set . This set provides extra secure attachment between the top and bottom of the box, which is required by many airlines for transporting pets in the hold. It is also recommended to include a water or food bowl and a “Live Animals” label in the box to ensure full compliance with international requirements.

Note: Not every airline uses the exact same guidelines. Therefore, always check with your airline beforehand whether the combination of this box and the screw set is accepted.

Comfort and ease of use

The Skudo transport crate features a metal mesh door at the front that locks securely, yet is also easy to open when you need to feed or reassure your pet during a stop. Ventilation slots on both sides and the open front panel provide optimal air circulation, which is important for longer journeys or hot days.

The box features a sturdy handle on the top, making it easy to lift and move. Larger sizes also come with a long handle for pulling the box, along with wheels (available as an option). This makes the Skudo not only practical but also ergonomic for you as the owner.

Which animals is this box suitable for?

Size S is designed for animals up to 24 kg (54 lbs). This includes medium-sized dogs like French Bulldogs, Beagles, Jack Russell Terriers, Shiba Inus, and larger cats like Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats. Always measure your pet beforehand from nose to base of tail and from ground to crown to ensure they can comfortably stand, lie down, and turn in the crate.

When traveling by air, it is wise to reserve some extra space for the comfort of your pet.

Use this overview to choose the right size. Are you between two sizes or unsure? It’s best to choose something a little roomier, especially for longer trips.

Benefits of the Trixie Skudo

This transport box is lightweight, easy to clean, and durable enough for intensive use. Thanks to the ventilation openings, metal door, and secure locking system, it’s also suitable for animals with high stress levels. The ability to use it for air travel (with a screw set) makes it even more versatile. The top handle makes it comfortable to carry.

Disadvantages to consider

The screw set required for IATA approval is not included and must be ordered separately. Furthermore, casters are only available for larger sizes. The box is not collapsible, so it takes up some space when stored. Acceptance requirements may also vary by airline, so checking beforehand is still necessary.
