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!

It was broken since before having used it
By Anne on Jan 18, 2021
I bought this but it’s broken since before having used it. The Chewy call staff correspondence is splendid with quickness. She prepared for the exchange immediately. I appreciate the Chewy very much. However about this product, I feel uneasiness in the durability. This is good to use it when you go out by car ,but I want to use it by international airline .Therefore I consider whether I purchase other products....

Pretty sure it’s used
By pipersmom on Mar 2, 2021
Pretty sure it’s used. Definitely don’t expect to pay full price for a used item. The inside was pretty clean but the outside was a little gross and definitely contained pet hair.

Petmate Sky Dog & Cat Kennel
By QualityIsKey on Dec 28, 2020
I should have read all of the reviews before purchasing three of these carriers!! One shipment of two carriers arrived with one of them cracked, which does not bode well for durability. The carriers do seem brittle. I like the fact that the company utilizes recycled plastics, but not at the expense of quality. I will be returning these and buying IRIS pet carriers instead - they are super-sturdy.

broke without ever getting to use it
By cait on Dec 16, 2020
I bought a crate for my now 7 month old puppy thinking we would be traveling to England this fall. To say the least we put it together and the door bolts completely fell out making the for unable to stay locked. It deeply saddens me paying this much for a crate I never even got to use for the purpose. I sadly won’t purchase another one unless I know when we are leaving now. I wouldn’t recommend this crate to anyone and it hurts my heart that my sweet little girl never got to use her crate.

Let's take a nap!
By Kittie681 on Jan 13, 2021
Well constructed Kennels - My Pup's Sleeping Quarters. Not a bright color, fits into decor better. Roomy, ventilated well. Only thing I'd like to see on it is a door on the top, but of course, it would probably weaken the roof of the Kennel. I bought 2 of these for my 2 7mo old pups.

Well made crate
By Cooper on Jan 7, 2021
Bought this in 28” size for our small (13.5 lb) 2 year old dog. She seemed a bit crowded in a 21” crate of the same brand. This is an easy to assemble, well made unit, which our dog loves. Gate is easy to operate.

Love this Sky Kennel, it is perfect!
By DanaG on Oct 16, 2020
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!

Door latch is already broken
By bmurphy30 on Sep 18, 2020
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. :(

Garbage do not waste your money
By RWilder on Aug 7, 2020
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.

Petmate kennel
By Maverick on Sep 17, 2020
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!
