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.

They now offer a vast line of different products for all sorts of pets and provide trusted solutions for pet parents everywhere.

Cheap door closure

The door connects at the top and the bottom into a plastic hole. My dog can knock it open.

Would not recommend this product. Upon arrival, the crate was cracked, and my shepherd was able to tear from the crack and break free from the crate. The plastic is a very fragile and low-quality material.

Brittle plastic

First one I received had a crack in the top. Chewy customer service was awesome as always. Had me donate the broken one to a local rescue and sent me a new one

First one I received had a crack in the top. Chewy customer service was awesome as always. Had me donate the broken one to a local rescue and sent me a new one. I have had the second one only two weeks and there is already a crack in the top. I ordered this as a same style replacement for a crate I had for 10+years and had been through two dogs. It was sturdy crate and only needed replaced because the latch simply wore out. Not one crack in it. I don't know what kind of plastic they are using now, but it's brittle and just doesn't last.

Great for dogs with anxiety

I bought this as a temporary kennel for my husky until my Ruffland kennel came in, so far no damage to it! He destroys the traditional wire kennels.

not worth the money,

My dog was able to chew a hole through the top and climb himself out of the crate! It took months but definitely not worth the money! Should be able to replace

Ruff Max kennel

Item as described. Second one I have purchased. Wish it had latches to secure top and bottom halves of the kennel. All those little bolts and screws are annoying

Item as described. Second one I have purchased. Wish it had latches to secure top and bottom halves of the kennel. All those little bolts and screws are annoying to remove when it is time to clean out kennels.
