Petmate Sky Dog & Cat Kennel

I wanted a very sturdy and strong kennel for shipping a large 8 week old 16 pound puppy - the 28×21 size is it!!! The plastic it is molded out of is solid, not flimsy, it has much less 'give' than cheaper kennels. The hinge for the door has holes to zip tie the door so it can't be opened and the pins that latch the door are internal and hidden, so they can't be pushed in from outside. Not only does it have a handle on top, it has hand holds on the side lip for lifting. And it even has external tie down holes to secure the kennel if need be. I love it, and it's now next to our bed being used for overnight house breaking until he outgrows it!

I purchased this last Christmas for my daughter's Aussie to travel to Japan. It has been stored until this month since covid wasn't allowing the dog to reunote with her military family. I brought it out a couple of weeks ago, and the latch on the door is already broken. now whe she can go to Japan she will need a new crate. :(

We purchased two of these sky kennels,the small and the medium .The medium took a very small fall off the bench in our front yard a busted out the entire upper right hand corner, the bench is 17 inches high .The sky kennel slipped offer rolled on its top on the lawn, that all it took to break it. I contacted petmate and told what happened, they replied "we use recycled plastic making our kennels that is why they are biittle and break easily " .We have a thirty pound black cat named Sammy, if we had put him and picked it up it is likely the handle would have broke off with his weight. We like American made products that is why these carriers were chosen ,it is unfortunate that petmate decided We purchased two of these sky kennels,the small and the medium .The medium took a very small fall off the bench in our front yard a busted out the entire upper right hand corner, the bench is 17 inches high .The sky kennel slipped offer rolled on its top on the lawn, that all it took to break it.

The good part chewy did replace it for free but we decided to take a refund try a midwest carrqier … more

Good and sturdy. Only issue is the door doesn’t close easily. The hole doesn’t line up with the bar so you have to shimmy it into place. Other than that no issues!

I needed a sturdy carrier that would be a comfortable fit for my 20-lb Maine coon-type cat, and this is the only one I've been able to find. Unfortunately, the very first time I took her out in it, the handle broke off. This carrier is supposed to handle an animal up to 30 lbs. I urge Petmate to give this product a serious review as they could corner the market if they put out a really durable carrier for bigger cats that didn't look like the lockup in downtown L.A.

My female beagle, 13 1/2, is used to being crated at night, but needed more room to stretch out now that she’s a senior. I trust Petmate’s quality, as I’ve had their medium sized kennels for her and my other beagles since 2003. The Sky Kennel was the perfect choice, and is well-made, easily assembled, and easy to clean.

The dimensions are way different than listed. 32 inch long is really 28 inches. It caused us a lot of headache with the airline. Chewy was amazing though and fixed the problem right away!

and cosy --- I understand from the trainer that canines like a den atmosphere and my 35 pound Aussie Shepherd curls in there like a little embryo and snores gently - she must like it!

We are extremely pleased with this pet carrier. It is heavy duty, meets most airline guidelines and large enough to provide space for our large cats.

I bought this kennel to have in my car for transporting my dog. It came in great condition and was easy to assemble. It is sturdy and fits perfectly in my car, so I’m happy! I was a bit worried when it arrived because the box was a little dinged up, but the product was in perfect shape with no cracks or anything. I am very satisfied with my purchase and I will definitely buy from them again in the future!
