Can i rent pet carriers with united airlines?

Question

I am transporting my pets through United Airlines and I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not I can rent kennels through them. otherwise I'll buy them from wal-mart.

Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

got this from UA website

Kennels

You and United® must follow USDA regulations on the size of your pet's kennel. The kennel must be sturdy, properly ventilated, and large enough for your pet to stand, lie down, and turn around freely. The kennel must close securely with a mechanism that requires no special tools to operate. Prescribed kennels are available at most airlines for a fee. When in doubt, check with United, because the USDA assigns full responsibility for accepting the proper kennel to the airline.

Kennel requirements
Your pet's kennel must:

* Contain no more than one adult dog or cat, or no more than two puppies or kittens younger than six months and under 20 pounds each
* Display "LIVE ANIMAL" labels with letters at least one inch high; labels must appear on top and on at least one side (labels are available at check-in)
* Certify with a signature the last time (within four hours before bringing your pet to the airport) that your pet was offered food and water
* Indicate your name and address
* Indicate the top with arrows or "This End Up" marking (labels available at check-in)
* Include food and water dishes (both empty) secured inside the kennel and accessible from outside
* Contain absorbent material or bedding, such as newspaper
* Show a food and water schedule


Kennel checklist

* Kennel construction meets acceptable requirements (no wheels, no wire kennels, no collapsible kennels, leakproof bottom and absorbent material). There must be a one-inch spacer bar around the kennel.
* Hardware (bolts/screws) complete and assembled
* Door lockable and secure
* Kennel size allows freedom of movement for your pet to stand, lie down and turn around freely
* Ventilation standards: domestic three sides, international four sides (includes door)
* Health certificate
* Correct labeling (live animal and directional up arrows)
* Water/feed dishes (two dishes or divided dish)
* Feeding and watering certification completed

with regards to renting, i doubt that they do have that service.

i used to move people's household goods and personal effects worldwide including their pets, we do subcontract the pets thru another company..if you do opt for that then that company would provide the kennel for you. you could also advise them if you'd like your pet to travel on the same flight with you.

i think you rent them for like $50 bucks or something, thats only if you don't have your own............i just asked them that question a couple of weeks ago......im not sure the $50 is renting the kennel or actually purchasing it.......call united, they'll tell you for sure! but personally, i think its cheaper to buy your own, and the pet fee is $80 or $85 for united! : )
