For the most accurate fit, measure your pet while comfortably lying down, as this is the position most pets naturally assume during travel. The standard Gold Series Expandable offers more interior room than our Gold Series Mini while retaining a compact airline-friendly footprint. The expandable top provides additional headroom when you are able to give your pet more space. Please remember that the usable interior dimensions of any carrier are slightly smaller than the exterior dimensions because of the padding, fabric, and structural materials. For smaller pets or especially restrictive under-seat spaces, consider our Gold Series Mini Expandable V3. Compact for Travel. More Comfortable When It Counts. One of the biggest challenges of traveling with pets is balancing limited under-seat space with your pet's comfort. The Gold Series Expandable V3 is designed specifically around that need. With the top closed, the carrier maintains its compact 18" × 11" × 10" profile for travel. Once you are out from beneath the airline seat, the top expands to 12" in height, giving your pet additional headroom to sit up, reposition, and relax more comfortably. It's the best of both worlds: a low-profile carrier when space is limited and added comfort when it matters most. Before Your First Trip Help your pet become familiar with the carrier before traveling. Leave it open at home and allow your pet to explore, nap, and enjoy treats inside so they begin to associate the carrier with comfort and security. A familiar carrier can help reduce stress whether you're heading to the airport, veterinarian, on a road trip, or simply taking your pet along for the day. Mr. Peanut's Premium Products is a USA-based, family-owned company located in Henderson, Nevada. Our carriers are designed with pet safety and comfort first, with thoughtful travel features developed from years of feedback from pet owners and professional travelers around the world. *Airline requirements and aircraft configurations vary. Always confirm your airline's current in-cabin pet policies before travel. Recommended Additions:Pet Potty PadsCollapsible BowlsPortable Pet Water Bottle
