About Petmate Kennels

A Comfy Place for Rest

Give your canine companion an inviting place to sleep and relax with Petmate’s plastic kennels. Each kennel is built with comfort in mind, with rounded edges and a smooth interior designed to help your dog doze as comfortably as you do. Your furry family member deserves the best and nothing less.

A Cozy Canine Safe Space

Dogs have an instinctive desire to be snug and comfortable in a semi-enclosed space of their own. Petmate kennels satisfy that natural denning instinct, giving your pup a place that feels both safe and secure where he can go to relax when he’s stressed, out of his comfort zone or just ready for a restorative snooze.

Secure What Matters

Petmate kennels are built for strength and safety, with durable construction designed to keep your pup in the kennel and out of harm’s way. Whether you’re traveling with your dog somewhere and need to secure him or crating to stop destructive behaviors while you’re gone, you can rely on Petmate to provide safety and peace of mind.

For Pups Big and Small

Whether your dog is pint-sized or extra-large, Petmate has a kennel that’s the perfect size and shape for your best friend. Made with size-specific details like heavy-duty materials for larger kennels and nice touches like top access on some smaller models, you’ll find that each kennel was designed with your pup’s unique needs in mind.

Made Right

Petmate kennels are engineered to stand up to rust, bad weather and rough handling to give you many years of trustworthy use. From their durable plastic construction to the hard-as-nails hardware that keeps them together, these kennels will provide a safe and cozy environment for your pup through thick and thin.

Air and Road Trip Approved

These kennels were built with safety in mind and are made to be fully compliant with air and highway travel requirements. That means you can take your furry friend with you anywhere you need to go! Your best friend will love his comfy home away from home on all your journeys, and you’ll love knowing he’s in a safe and secure place.

How tall and long is this crate? Will a 14.5" tall and 18" long cat fit in it comfortably

Answer by ChewyJun 24, 2019
To locate the dimensions, click the “Size” tab, next to the “Description” and “Instructions” tabs, just under the product photos. Measurements are listed as length x width x height. To select the best size for your pet we recommend that you measure the length of your pet from nose to tail. When measuring the length, be sure to add approximately 2-4 inches to the overall length, depending on the size of your pet. To determine the height of the crate you will need, measure your pet from the top of the head to the ground. If your dog has naturally erect ears, measure from the tip of the ears. To obtain the width of your crate, add approximately 2 inches for smaller pets and 4 inches for larger dogs.

Is it allowed on planes ???

Answer by ChewyFeb 09, 2020
This kennel meets IATA and USDA air travel requirements. We recommend contacting your Airline for their exact requirements, because specific Airline requirements will vary.

Are the two hatches on top openings, that let a cat stick its head outside? I've seen a cat carrier that has that and I cant find it anywhere anymore

Answer by ChewyAug 07, 2019
The two hatches on the top of this kennel are built-in compartment covers for added storage of treats or other pet needs.

Good Crate for car travel

A Seatbelt goes around this crate and through the handle. It’s lighter in weight and easier to handle in a car than a shipping crate.

Just what I ordered. Not the best of kennels but I got what a paid for. A little flimsy here and there and the door is a little whimpy but like I already said... Needed the biggest plastic kennel and it certainly is. Arrived quick as always from Chewy...now I just have to dispose of the giant box it came in.

Great smaller crate

I got this for a new mini Aussie puppy and it’s perfect for her. She’s got plenty of room to grow into.

The crate is a good size for West Highland White Terriers or Italian Greyhounds puppies to go home in because it can be used for their whole life.

High quality, big room, with reasonable price

I used it for a road trip for two cats (one 6kg, one 4 kg) and they liked it. No cushion included so I made one by myself.

Not for pets over 20lbs! Don't buy!

Just don't do it. We put our 20lb cat in this to take the to vet. First the clips on the side don't hold without the screws - we learned the hard way buy having

Just don't do it. We put our 20lb cat in this to take the to vet. First the clips on the side don't hold without the screws - we learned the hard way buy having to recapture the cat in the house after in came apart. Second - as soon as we picked it up the handle broke off, which left us carrying it from the sides. We bought two and had this experience with the first one today. The second still has the tags on it, but we're outside of the return window. Super frustrating.

This is a sturdy well put together carrier.

This carrier will work well for our 20 pd cat.
