Questions & Answers

37 Customer Questions

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 Chewy • Dec 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 Chewy • Jul 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 Chewy • May 31, 2018
Each kennel size includes a clip-on food and water cup, "live animal" sticker, and absorbent kennel pad.

Does the medium sky kennel have a flat bottom on the interior? No molded dips or channels?

Answer by Alexis W • Apr 29, 2024
Each kennel size features an interior molded moat to keep animals dry.

Petmate Sky Crate

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.

Poorly Manufactured

I don't know if it sat in a hot warehouse, but the plastic was warped and I had to modify some of the holes to get the door to properly close.

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

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 is a bit wonky and hard to latch but we can make it work.

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.

Great Kennel

30lb 60 mo GSD mix, plenty of room and should be good for his size to adult hood but sturdy and escape proof.
