My dog is 55 lb, 33" long and 24"tall (floor to top of head). Will he be able to turn around & stand inside? He needs to fly from Ukraine to USA.

I agree with Clint. He will probably be able to but with some difficulty, therefore go up a size to be sure.

He will be able to stand inside but will have difficulty to turn around. I would look for a larger sized kennel.

My poodle is 8 lbs and it's perfect! They have to be able to stand up and turn around so I would say no, it will be fine.

I think it may be tight. He needs to be able to turn in the house so maybe you can create the dimensions by moving furniture together to see how he fits. My dogs are about 22 inches at the withers and 50 lbs each and they share a house.

My dog is 50 pounds, and it is spacious for her to turn around in and fit through the entrance and shuffle around. I would suggest an XL version for such a big pup!

It would be fine if you're carrying the dog onboard the flight, but definitely not if the dog is going to be shipped in the hold. The pet will need a comfortable, locked crate with room to move around.

The size I got (30'' X 42") would be far too big, it would be like a bedroom, not a crate :-). My 89 lbs. lab even has plenty of room to turn around.

You measure a dog's height from the floor to the top of the shoulders. The official rule for airlines is that your pet must be able to comfortably stand and turn around in the carrier. It's ok if the dog has to duck her head.

I think so..if he can hop in. the base is abput 6.5 to 7 in. I think he should be able to get in and out. Hope this helps

I bought a crate a little larger then I probably needed but I'd rather have it then have it be too small. It really depends on how big your animal is, and should still be enough for it to stand up and turn around comfortably in.

Our Lab is 70lbs and average build. This kennel is too small. She can turn around, but her head touches the ceiling. She also cannot fully extend her legs in a normal lying position. I had to get the next size up to ensure she could fly comfortably.

My doggie is about the same size. It works well. She can turn around easily, but not stand completely up. I had a larger one, but it was a bit hard to carry. This one is perfect, and we love the zipper "jack in the box" top!

My dog is 11 inches at the shoulders, and 15 inches at the top of his head when he's fully standing. He stayed laying down and was perfectly comfortable for an 11 hour day of travelling. He could easily turn around and resituate himself, and he could sit up with his head ducked. He seemed to find it a nice space to be in and he could see me at all times.

I had a dog that was 36" tall at his eyes and stood 6 feet on his hind legs easily. He had no problem and could turn around, but he was thin.

My dog is only a 3 lb yorkie. She has room to turn around but not sure how much more yours would need.

I think it would be uncomfortable and difficult to turn around in it. It is sturdy but canvas like and with a tighter fit it could generate movement when dog tries to turn and settle. My dog is 10 lbs and it is perfect for her.

I have a 55lb pittie mix with GIANT ears. I raised that same question with the cargo handlers and they said as long as his head wasn't touching he was ok, BUT that TSA would have the final say since he was flying as a cargo passenger and not on a cargo plane. My best advice is to touch base with your carrier directly and/or TSA.
