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.

Questions & Answers

What is the series # for the 28” small kennel?


What is the thickness (both in gauge and equivalent in millimeters) of the welded wire mesh used for the door and the ventilation windows on each different size of Sky Kennel?

Answer by ChewyDec 31, 2025
The welded wire mesh used for the door and ventilation windows on all Sky Kennel sizes is 8-gauge steel wire, which is approximately 4.2 millimeters in thickness. This gauge is consistent across all sizes of the Sky Kennel to ensure durability and security.

The 32 inch vari-kennel and the 32 inch sky-kennel look very similar. What are the differences? Thx.

Answer by ChewyJul 18, 2018
The Petmate Sky Kennel and Petmate Ultra Vari Kennel are different in color and door latch design. The Sky Kennel has a door latch you twist to unlock, while the Vari Kennel has a door latch you push down.

Does the intermediate kennel have the clip-on water bowls?

Answer by ChewyMay 31, 2018
Each kennel size includes a clip-on food and water cup, "live animal" sticker, and absorbent kennel pad.

I bought this 48” crate for our new moyen poodle who outgrew a smaller, older Petmate crate I had. I liked the Petmate Sky crate because it had the smaller round rear vent holes, other models had slots which I’m sure our aggressive chewer would likely chew the slots into a larger hole to get out if left alone. So far, he likes the crate and goes in on his own to take naps. I would recommend this crate to others. And it was delivered quickly as promised by Chewy.

I bought the medium size for overseas travel. The crates are nice and spacious, but the ventilation and hardware do not meet airline requirements. I'm going to need to modify all ventilation and replace the plastic hardware with metal before flying. It's very misleading for the "sky kennel" to not actually meet AITA standards (and airline requirements aside, it's a safety issue if my cats can stick their feet out through the doors). Otherwise, they are nice, sturdy kennels. And Chewy was fantastic as always, shipped super quick and customer service was happy to answer questions about kennels.

Very sturdy & Lightweight

This was easy to put together. It seems very sturdy, and is surprisingly not too heavy despite its size. The divided dish that came with it was perfect for flying

This was easy to put together. It seems very sturdy, and is surprisingly not too heavy despite its size. The divided dish that came with it was perfect for flying. We ended up drilling some holes in the dish to secure it better with a zip tie.

Decent travel crate

Right length for both my male and female Pembroke Welsh Corgis (not together, just providing a size reference). Seems as sturdy as a Petmate Compass I bought 9 years

Right length for both my male and female Pembroke Welsh Corgis (not together, just providing a size reference). Seems as sturdy as a Petmate Compass I bought 9 years ago and am still using, though maybe a hair shorter in depth. It will be used primarily for car travel and as a sleeping place for overnight trips (my boy isn't ready yet for a fabric collapsible), but there are other reviews that cover using it for air travel. Was simple to put together, but I've assembled others before. The squeeze lock mechanism may be hard to operate if you only have one hand and have any grip issues, compared to the turn lock style. But I can see how airlines might prefer it instead, though there are holes to zip tie elsewhere as well. I do like the tie down holes, as I like to secure the crate in the car as much as possible for the dog's safety as well as my own.

Ease of assembly

Nelson likes it pretty well. Climbed right in and laid down. The size is nice for overnight for a 4 month old Labrador puppy, with ample room to grow. The door latch

Not as sturdy as past crates

This crate didn’t even last a year. I purposely purchased this crate because it seemed similar to the previous crate I had purchased. The locking mechanism is so flimsy on this new crate that it doesn’t even stay latched so my dog can easily escape this crate now. So disappointed especially with the price tag on this.

Thin, Cheap, Flimsy

These kennels used to have a little substance to them and were fairly well made and durable. The plastic is now paper-thin, non-durable, flimsy junk.

All the openings are using metal bars . Other carriers appeared to have plastic bars on the sides. Without metal he would be out before he got to the veterinary
