If your dog is traveling internationally the airline NOW requires for the safety of your dog a full 2-3" of extra head room above your dogs head or tip of ears (in pointy eared dogs). If you have an existing 500 size kennel that your dog is acclimated to and fits your dog but lacks the extra head room required, the 500Plus Kennel expansion kits are the perfect accessory. They easily modify your 500 XL dog kennel into airline compliant. Simply add the 5 rails in between the top and bottom and install the door spacer.
Some drilling is required.

Excellent Customer Service
My wife and I live in Guam. We needed the extender shipped fairly expediently. A representative called me and advised me of a better shipping option and we received the product in less than a week. In Guam, we expect 2-3 wks for an item to arrive, but less than a wk; that was a real miracle. I highly recommend this company for their customer service and quality products.

very handy
super easy idea why didn't I think of this. Wish they had them at local stores or airline cargo office but they did ship right away so only had to reschedule flight by a few days. Very handy, did the trick and saved our families plans.
