Dog Sizes for Pricing

Our prices do vary based on the weight and size of your pets. It is important that we allocate an appropriate sized cage for your pet for its comfort.

We allocate spaces based on the breed and age of your pet. Following are the general guidelines we use for pricing along with more specific information based on the breed standards. We will not always need to know the exact weight or height of your pet, i.e. we will automatically charge a labrador as a medium dog, Jack russells as a small dog and a Rhodesian ridgeback as a large dog. However if your pet is unusually large or small for its breed you should let us know the specifics at the time of booking.

We do reserve the right to refuse to collect any dog that appears to have been intentionally booked incorrectly or to require additional payment if the dog is significantly larger than was booked.

Our standard size classifications are as follows:

1) Small Puppies and Cats (Generally a small or medium breed puppy, under 12 weeks old at the time of travel and under 5kgs in weight.)

2) Large Puppies (Generally a medium or large breed puppy, 5kgs and over, under 25cm in shoulder height, under 12 weeks old at the time of travel. )

3) Petite dogs Dogs up to 5kg and under 25cm at the shoulder.

4) Small dogs Dogs from 5 - 10kg and under 35cm at the shoulder.

5) Small/Medium Dogs from 10 - 20gs under 45cm at the shoulder

6) Medium dogs Dogs from 20 - 40kg and under 60cm at the shoulder.

7) Large dogs Dogs from 40 - 55kg and under 70cm at the shoulder.

8) Xtra Large dogs Dogs from 55kg or over 70cm at the shoulder.
