Description

Kennel Extension Kit to increase the height of SKY and Vari Kennels Airline size 700 Giant

The NEW PLASTIC 700PLUS Kennel Extension Kit will add about 5 inches to the height of your existing Sky Kennel 700 Giant, Vari Kennel Giant 700, Aspen Giant 700 or any Petmate 700 size dog travel kennel. This kit will make your existing GIANT Plastic dog kennel instantly taller.

Fits Giant 700 size (48″L x 32″W x 35″H OUTSIDE Dimensions {Advertised size} )  After Kit installed the kennel's Height will measure 99 CM high = 39-40" H

 CAGE IS NOT INCLUDED - DO NOT PURCHASE UNTIL YOU HAVE A 700 GIANT KENNEL AND HAVE MEASURED YOUR DOG. THIS KIT WILL NOT EXPAND LENGTH OR WIDTH ONLY HEIGHT or Head room.  

Check with your airline for size restrictions prior to ordering, this item is not returnable for refund.

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 dog's head or tip of ears (in pointy eared dogs).  If you have an existing 700 size kennel that your dog is acclimated to and fits your dog but lacks the extra head room required, the 700Plus Kennel expansion kits are the perfect accessory. They easily modify your 700 Giant dog kennels into airline compliant. Simply add the metal rails in between the top and bottom and install the new bigger steel door and you are all set.

The kit is 100% hand installed, no tools needed or required. (unless you determine the extra door hardware will be needed, then 4 holes will need to be drilled with drill bit provided in kit, Electric Screwdriver drill is also available at a small additional cost) Simply Connect the corner rails to straight rails to create a horseshoe shape then set the rails in between the top and bottom of the kennel. Then install the door filler rail pieces and install your existing door, then thread the provided 6" bolts through the existing kennel bolt holes and secure with the reinforced Metal Thumb Nuts (all provided in the kit). That is it... as easy as putting together the original kennel and your kennel is now taller and will now provide the extra head room required by your airline.

ALL Vents and slots are redesigned to follow IATA 2024 new requirements (1x1 inch or smaller for international flights)

    new 700 plus

    Lon on 7th Jul 2023

    agree it is a bit harder to install more steps but so light weight and so strong way smaller so easy to store after we used ready for next time needed. Airlines didn't even blink made it the perfect height for my tall dog.

    good stuff

    Manny on 25th Jun 2023

    Been using the extenders for my dogs to travel for their jobs. The new version is lighter and way more durable than the old rails. The old ones dented or had tendency to bend. The new plastic ones are indestructible although a bit harder to assemble.

    so happy this is available

    Austin on 19th Jun 2023

    worked and added just enough head room for my dog to be allowed to fly. Had no idea this was a thing airline refused us and recommended we look into extending the kennel height? without this we would have no other options for relocating our entire family
