Suitable for air travel with the right extension
What makes this transport box extra special is that – when equipped with the separately available screw set – it complies with the IATA guidelines used by many airlines. The screw set ensures that the top and bottom of the box are securely connected. Combine this box with the right accessories, such as a water bowl and the "Live Animals" sticker, and you have a transport device that is often accepted for transport in the aircraft hold. Please note: regulations can vary by airline, so it's always wise to check with your airline beforehand.
For extra mobility, optional wheels are also available (from size M), so you don't have to lift the box but can simply pull it behind you.
Comfort and safety for your pet
The Skudo transport crate is designed with your pet's well-being in mind. The front features a sturdy metal door that's easy to open but remains securely locked during transport. Ventilation slots on both sides and the open design of the door ensure optimal air circulation inside the crate, even during longer journeys or waiting periods.
The integrated handle on the top makes carrying easy and stable. You can lift the box with one hand and easily place it in the car or on a luggage cart. Because the box is compact, it fits in most car seats, overhead bins, and even in train baggage areas.
Who is this box suitable for?
This XS version is suitable for pets up to 12 kg (26 lbs). This makes it perfect for small dogs and cats who need a safe, enclosed space while traveling. Thanks to its ventilation, durable material, and easy-to-clean plastic interior, this crate is both hygienic and comfortable.
When using it for air travel, we recommend always leaving enough space for your pet to lie down, turn around, and sit upright. If in doubt about the size, measure your dog or cat from nose to base of tail and from ground to crown.
Benefits of the Trixie Skudo XS
This compact transport crate is lightweight yet sturdy enough to safely transport your pet. Ventilation openings provide fresh air, and the metal mesh door keeps your pet feeling protected but not isolated from the outside world. The ability to expand the crate with a screw kit for air travel makes it versatile.
Potential drawbacks to consider
The Skudo transport box XS is not suitable for larger dog breeds or animals weighing more than 12 kg. Furthermore, the screw set is required for use on the plane, but is not included with this box. If you want to use the box on wheels, it is important to know that the XS version is not equipped for this as standard; wheels are only available for larger sizes. Finally, you must check whether your airline accepts this box with accessories – this varies per airline.
