A practical FAQ on the RuffLand Airline Kit: what it includes, how to attach the live animal stickers and zip ties, and how to prep your kennel for a flight.
Quick answer
The RuffLand Airline Kit is a small add-on pack that helps you prepare a compatible RuffLand kennel for air travel. It contains four Live Animal stickers and four sturdy zip ties, and it is used to mark the kennel and secure its door during transit.
Why the kit is separate from the kennel
Airlines vary in how they want a kennel marked and secured, and those requirements can change. Keeping the stickers and ties in a separate kit lets you add them only when you fly, so your everyday kennel setup stays clean. It also means you can replace worn stickers or cut ties after a trip without buying a new kennel.
What the kit does not cover
The kit is not a full travel certification and does not replace your airline's specific rules. It also does not include a food or water bowl, a kennel cover, or hardware beyond the four zip ties. Check your airline's pet policy for any additional requirements before you fly.
Frequently asked questions
- What is in an airline kit?
- The RuffLand Airline Kit contains four Live Animal stickers and four sturdy zip ties. No other hardware or accessories are included.
- Where should I put the Live Animal stickers?
- Place them on the top and at least one side of the kennel where they are clearly visible. Use the remaining stickers on other sides or as spares if one peels off. Check your airline's policy for any required sticker placement.
- How do I use the zip ties?
- Thread each zip tie through the kennel door and the frame at the four corners, then pull tight. Trim the excess tail so it does not catch on anything during handling. Bring a small pair of scissors or nail clippers to remove the ties after the trip.
- Can I use the kit with any kennel?
- The kit is designed for RuffLand kennels. The zip ties fit through the door and frame openings, and the stickers adhere to the kennel surface. Check compatibility if you use another brand.
- Is the kit enough for flying with a dog?
- No. The kit helps with marking and securing the kennel, but you still need to confirm your airline's size, ventilation, and documentation requirements. Use a separate checklist for those items. Review your airline's pet policy before every flight.
