Dog travel carrier fit

Enter the measurements above to calculate dog travel carrier fit.

How the calculation works

V12 calculation: lengthPass=carrierInternalLength≥dogLength; widthPass=carrierInternalWidth≥dogShoulderWidth; heightPass=carrierInternalHeight≥dogHeight; overallPass=lengthPass AND widthPass AND heightPass; lengthMargin=carrierInternalLength-dogLength; widthMargin=carrierInternalWidth-dogShoulderWidth; heightMargin=carrierInternalHeight-dogHeight. This is the implementation rule for this calculator.

Worked example

Example: Dog body length = 55 cm; Dog standing height = 50 cm; Carrier internal length = 450 cm; Carrier internal height = 165 cm; Carrier internal width = 185 cm; Dog shoulder width = 46 cm. Result: Fits; Height Margin = 115 cm; Width Margin = 139 cm; Length Margin = 395 cm.
