Description
Are you traveling by plane with your dog or cat and using a Skudo carrier? Then this Trixie aircraft screw set is an essential accessory. This set ensures that your existing Skudo carrier complies with IATA guidelines for pet air travel. Many airlines now require carriers to be fully mechanically secured—not just with a clip closure—and to have the correct markings and water supply. This screw set contains everything you need to get your Skudo carrier approved for air travel, provided the rest of the carrier also meets the other requirements.

The set includes a sturdy screw mount for the top and bottom of the crate, a food or water bowl that can be attached to the door, and a recognizable "Live Animals" sticker that can be placed prominently on the crate. These three items are often explicitly requested when checking in a pet in the hold. By purchasing this set, you avoid surprises at the airport and can be sure that your crate meets the technical requirements.
Prepared for international air travel
Many pet owners only realize when booking a flight that airlines have additional requirements for their dog or cat's transport. For example, the crate must offer sufficient space, be well-ventilated, and not simply be closed with a clip. This screw set ensures that the top and bottom of the Skudo transport crate are securely connected , preventing it from popping open during loading or in flight. A separate water or food bowl is required so your pet can drink while traveling. The included sticker with the text "Live Animals" is intended to inform airport personnel that the animal is live, which contributes to careful handling.
Please note: always check with your airline beforehand whether the Skudo box will actually be accepted in combination with this set. Some airlines have additional rules or requirements regarding the type of locks, size, or ventilation.
Ideal for Skudo box owners
This expansion is specifically designed for Trixie's Skudo transport crates . Do you have such a crate at home and want to make it suitable for international flights? This kit is a simple and affordable way to do so. Installation is easy and only requires a screwdriver. In just a few minutes, you can adjust the crate to the specified guidelines. The crate simply clicks onto the door grille and applies the sticker in a visible spot on the outside.
Why this set is important
Transporting pets by air comes with strict safety requirements. An approved crate and a matching screw set can make the difference between being allowed on board or not. Airlines and ground crews rigorously check this during check-in. By purchasing and installing this kit in advance, you avoid being turned away at the last minute or having to improvise at the airport.
