Skudo 3 does not open at the top

MPS Skudo 3 IATA has a metal front door. It does not have a top or side entry.

For air travel

MPS Skudo 3 IATA is designed as a carrier compliant with air transport standards.

However, the term IATA does not mean that this particular product has been individually certified or “approved” by IATA. The International Air Transport Association sets technical standards for carrying live animals, but does not certify or approve specific brands and models of transport containers.

Before travelling, be sure to confirm the requirements with your chosen airline. The carrier is entitled to set additional conditions on size, construction, locking and equipment.

Check in advance:

• whether the airline accepts this particular size;
• whether the animal will travel as checked baggage or cargo;
• whether additional metal fasteners are required;
• whether a water container is required;
• what the rules are for absorbent bedding;
• what documents and labels are required.

Skudo 3 is not universally permitted for travel in the passenger cabin. At 60 × 40 × 39 cm, eligibility depends entirely on the rules of the specific airline and aircraft.

How to choose the right size?

The maximum load of 24 kg is only a guide to the permitted weight. It does not mean that every dog or cat under 24 kg will fit properly in Skudo 3.

The animal must have enough space to:

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

A tall, long-bodied or broad dog may need a larger model regardless of its weight.

Care

• Clean the plastic shell with water and a 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 the joints between the top and bottom halves.
• Do not use the product if the shell is broken, the door is damaged or the lock is faulty.
