RuffLand® Kennels Airline 500 Series

Millstone / Single

Description

The RuffLand® 500 Series (XL) Airline Kennel is a premium airline-approved dog crate designed for safe, secure, and comfortable air travel with extra-large dogs. Engineered for domestic and international flights, this heavy-duty travel kennel provides the strength, ventilation, and protection required for demanding airline cargo environments.

Proudly made in the USA, the RuffLand 500 Series is built using a one-piece roto-molded construction that delivers exceptional impact resistance while maintaining a manageable, travel-ready weight. Unlike standard plastic dog crates, this kennel is engineered to withstand airline handling, cargo pressure, loading, and frequent transport use without compromising structural integrity.

Designed specifically for XL and giant dog breeds, the spacious interior allows dogs to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably during travel. This helps reduce stress and supports a safer, more stable travel experience from departure to arrival. Airline-compliant ventilation openings on all sides promote continuous airflow, helping maintain comfort throughout the journey.

Trusted by pet owners, breeders, trainers, handlers, hunters, and working dog professionals, the RuffLand® 500 Series is a reliable solution for high-performance canine transport where safety and durability are critical.

Features

RuffLand® kennels are designed for durability and safety, featuring a seamless one-piece construction that’s easy to clean and built to last. Innovative details like flexible walls for impact protection, a raised floor to keep pets dry, and strategic venting ensure your dog’s comfort in any situation.

RuffLand Kennels Features RuffFlex

Ruff-Flex™ Energy Dissipation Technology

The walls, top, and floor on RuffLand® Kennels have built-in flexibility which absorbs energy that would otherwise be transferred to your pet. This is where the “stiff”, two-walled plastic kennels, which claim to be safer, fail. They may not break, but when your pet hits the side of the kennel, there is no give like there is with a Ruff Land™.

RuffLand Kennels Features Sure Vent

Surevent™ Tapered Wall Design

The sidewalls on all RuffLand® kennels feature a series of vent holes. These vent holes ensure proper air circulation for your dog. RuffLand® took this one step further by tapering the side walls so the vent holes would never get plugged, even if you slid the kennel up against a wall or some other flat-sided object.

RuffLand Kennels Features Raised Floor

Upside™ Raised Floor Interior

The interior floor in a RuffLand® kennel is raised so that debris and liquids that fall or spill off to the side are channeled away from your dog. This UpSide™ raised floor design also creates dome flex for a built-in cushioning effect for your dogs as it rides in your vehicle.

RuffLand Kennels Features No Bite

No Bite Grid Pattern Design

Our innovative no-bite grid design keeps chewing at bay, providing your pet with a safe and secure space.

RuffLand Kennels Features RattleLess

Rattle-Less

Experience quieter rides with our rattle-less door design, engineered to reduce noise and movement during car transport—because your peace of mind matters as much as your dog's comfort.

RuffLand Kennels Features Stacked

Stackright™ Design

The tops and bottoms of RuffLand® kennels all feature form-fit nesting that allows the kennels to fit together, making them stackable.

Kennel Door Opening Animation

2-Way Door

Designed for flexibility, our 2-way door swings either way, making it easy to customize your setup—for effortless adaptability in any space.

Estimated delivery dates are determined at time of shipping, NOT from the time of placing the order. So for example, Spee Dee delivery is generally a 1-3 day transit from the time it gets picked up from our facility. You can use the approximate ship dates once you receive tracking on your order.  Prior to that your order is processing and no ship dates are provided.

• Clean regularly: Use mild dish soap or pet-safe enzymatic cleaners.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: No bleach or ammonia.
• Rinse thoroughly: Remove all soap or cleaner residues.
• Wipe or air dry: Let the kennel dry completely before use.
• Neutralize odors: Sprinkle baking soda for stubborn smells before cleaning.
• Scratches: If your dog scratches the kennel, you can take sandpaper to the area with the scratch to smooth out the plastic. Quick exposure to a flame with a lighter will return the finish to a shine.
