Description

MPS Skudo 6 IATA is a large plastic travel crate for dogs up to 40 kg measuring 92 × 63 × 70 cm. The model is part of the Skudo IATA range from Italian manufacturer MPS and is designed for transporting larger dogs, provided the interior space matches the animal's actual dimensions.

The travel crate has a rigid polypropylene (PP) shell and a metal front door with a double safety lock. Ventilation areas in the shell help keep air circulating during transport.

This version has two compartments for documents and small accessories. Skudo 6 can also be used with additional accessories such as wheels and air travel preparation equipment, which are purchased separately.

The travel crate itself weighs approximately 9.47 kg, so when transporting a heavier dog, the wheel kit can make moving it considerably easier.

For air travel

MPS Skudo 6 IATA is part of a range the manufacturer describes as compliant with air transport standards.

This does not mean that IATA has issued a certificate or individual approval for this product. IATA sets requirements for the construction and use of animal transport containers, but does not certify specific brands and models.

Besides the features of the travel crate, the requirements of the specific airline, country, route and method of carriage must also be met.

Always ask your chosen carrier for confirmation before flying.

How is the right size for air travel determined?

For air travel, it is not enough for the dog simply to be under the stated maximum of 40 kg. The travel crate size must be chosen according to the animal's actual dimensions.

The dog must have enough space to:

• stand in a natural upright position;
• sit normally;
• turn around;
• lie down in a natural position.

That is why we do not recommend the Skudo 6 model on the basis of breed or weight alone.

Additional accessories

Additional accessories can be used to prepare the travel crate for your specific type of journey; they are not automatically included as standard.

• wheel kit;
• additional metal fasteners;
• water and food bowls;
• labels and markings;
• other accessories for air travel preparation.

Do not automatically assume that one particular accessory kit is mandatory for every airline. Requirements must be confirmed for the specific flight.

Wheels for Skudo 6

With the crate's own weight of about 9.47 kg and an animal weighing up to several tens of kilograms, the total weight of the transport system can be considerable.

A wheel kit is available as an optional accessory for the MPS Skudo 4–7 range. The wheels can make moving the crate considerably easier before and after a journey.

For air travel, the carrier's requirements must be followed. According to the current IATA Container Requirements, if a container has wheels, they must be removed or rendered inoperable during transport.

Care

• Clean the plastic shell with water and a suitable mild cleaning product.
• Rinse thoroughly after using a cleaning product.
• Let all parts dry completely.
• Check the metal door and locking mechanism before every journey.
• Check how securely the top and bottom halves of the shell are fixed together.
• Check the ventilation openings for damage or blockage.
• Do not use the crate if the shell is broken, the door is damaged or the lock is faulty.

Why choose MPS Skudo 6 IATA?

Skudo 6 IATA offers considerably more interior space than Skudo 4 and 5 and is designed for transporting larger dogs.

The combination of a 92 × 63 × 70 cm size, rigid PP shell, double-locking metal door and ventilation areas makes it a good choice when you need a large, sturdy travel crate.

The modular system lets you add accessories to the crate according to how you travel, without assuming the same equipment is needed in every situation.
