Question by Jax’s Mommy: How strict is airline with pet carrier size?
The height is the biggest trouble. 8″ max but they said 8.5″ would be ok since that is all I could find. That is b/c our first flight is a smaller plane. The second plane said 10″ height. The 8.5″ is a tight squeeze for our mini-chihuahua. We are bringing both carriers just in case. Do they measure them when you check in?

It has to fit under the seat…no exceptions. Call your airline for specifics.

They are very strict and they will probably measure them. The carrier has to fit under the seat if you are bringing it on board. The dog has to be able to stand up and turn around in the carrier.
