For air travel

MPS Skudo 1 IATA is a model the manufacturer describes as compliant with air transport standards. However, this does not mean automatic approval for every flight or every airline.

IATA sets technical requirements for the transport of live animals, but does not certify or approve specific brands and models of carriers.

Before travelling, always contact the specific airline and confirm the requirements for:

• carrier size and construction;
• how the animal will be transported;
• any additional accessories required;
• ventilation and locking;
• water bowl and absorbent bedding;
• labelling and documents.

Important: this model is not universally permitted for transport in the passenger cabin. Cabin rules differ between airlines, and the container size must meet their specific limits.

How to choose the right size?

The maximum load of 12 kg is not enough on its own to determine whether the carrier suits a particular animal.

Measure your pet before buying. Inside the carrier it must have enough space to:

• stand in a natural upright position;
• turn around freely;
• sit without being cramped;
• lie down in a natural position.

If your pet has a long or tall body, a larger size may be needed even if it weighs well under 12 kg.

Care

• Clean the plastic shell with water and a suitable mild cleaning product.
• Rinse thoroughly after using a cleaning product.
• Let the carrier dry completely before using it again.
• Check the metal door and locking mechanism before every journey.
• Check that the top and bottom halves are correctly joined and secured.
• Do not use the product if it is broken, deformed or has a damaged locking mechanism.

Why choose MPS Skudo 1 IATA?

Skudo 1 IATA combines rigid plastic construction, a metal door, a safety lock and good ventilation in a compact 48 cm format.

The model suits people who want a sturdier alternative to fabric carriers and one carrier for everyday trips, vet visits and journeys where a rigid shell is required.
