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.

Can this crate be secured in a car with a seat belt?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 10, 2018
At this time the manufacturer does not produce accessories to secure the kennel in a car.

My large cat is strong and has pushed his way through carrier zippers. How secure is the top panel? How is it fastened? Thank you.

Answer by Chewy • May 12, 2019
The top of this kennel is securely locked with spring-loaded latches. Steel wire and plastic construction combine to create a sturdy carrier.

What are the interior dimensions? I'm trying to see if my carrier mat/pad will fit properly before I buy a new one.

Answer by Chewy • Sep 26, 2020
The Medium crate has interior dimensions of 21 inches long x 14.5 inches wide x 13.5 inches high.

Is assembly required?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 16, 2018

I bought the medium size carrier about a year ago, for a cat who is an escape artist. She really tried to get out of the new one, but could not. My only complaint is that it’s heavy and awkward for me to carry. This year, I bought the small size for our smallest cat, who loves snug places. I haven’t used it yet, but I can already tell that it will be much easier for me to manage. These sturdy carriers are not cheap, but neither are they overpriced. They are well thought out and easy to assemble in just minutes. (Maybe a little longer if the kitties decide to help.) Our vet techs especially appreciate the top doors on carriers. Since we only use these for short trips to the vet, the smaller size suits us best. For long trips, though, the larger ones would be best. My only real ding is against the medium sized carrier because the top door doesn’t stay open on its own. Makes it quite awkward to hold it open while both hands are busy with a wriggling cat. Otherwise, it would be 5 stars from me.

I have bought 2 of these carriers. I like the size of them, but, there's an issue with both. I specifically bought them because they have a front entrance, AND a top entrance. The problem is the top doesn't stay open by itself on either one, it has to be held open with one hand or it slams shut. So I'm trying to rangle my cat into the top entrance with one hand, while trying to hold it open with the other, or someone else has to be there to hold it open for me. Very disappointed the top door does not stay open on its own. I would not purchase them again because of this issue.

This is a great large size carrier for a large cat. The thing to consider is that the top opening does not stay open unless someone holds it open. It just won't tip that itty bit to allow one person to open the top, pick up the cat and put the cat in. So it is a two-person process - at least it was for us. Otherwise it is a great study carrier with NO sharp edges etc. very very safe.

This tan carrier replaced an older grey Petmate version of the same style. My vet’s office lost it- boooo. My only complaint is that the top door of this new one doesn’t latch correctly- I have to wiggle and push a lot get it to fit properly on one side or else the top doesn’t lock. Picked the carrier up and my kitty almost fell out. It’s just not well aligned as the first one.

The top opening is so very much easier on both Fred and Ginger for loading and treating/calming. !9" is just really snug and 24" is a little roomy. Fred likes the room while Ginger is comforted by the snuggle. The crate arrived damaged and Chewy is replacing it and I will offer the damaged one to the shelter (along with two other crates that are front door only - and well loved) I LOVE Chewy and their graciousness.

The crate was of good quality but way too small for my dog. I called to do return and chewy.com gave me the credit right away and then said not to bother returning it but instead donate it to local shelter! Wow- I’m so impressed with their return process- love chewy.com for their customer support!

We have a very large cat (16+ lbs). And he's rambunctious. So, this kennel was the perfect solution for him. It's well made and strong, easy to access from the front door or the top door. Great venting holes along the sides too allow for fresh air and for viewing our kitty. The larger windows seem to calm him too compared to his former kennel. The carrying handle is attached securely and makes it easy to carry. The door latches are "positive" meaning you absolutely know they are secured and will not come open. This is our second kennel from the manufacturer. The other one actually was still in perfect condition(over 20 years old!), except the door had rusted. This version has a coating on the metal of the door that should keep it looking new for years to come. In addition, we wanted the top door (last carrier did not have). It's really nice to be able to open the top door and pet our kitty to sooth him without him being able to escape. Really nice kennel. Well worth the price.

I bought this as a gift for my mom. I have one, and it's my favorite cat carrier. It's easy to open and large enough for a larger cat. The top door makes it easy to load the cat through the front or the top, and you can reach in to pet the cat.

I love this carrier so much that I bought four of them. I rescue and I’m constantly transporting cats to the vet. It’s plenty big enough for my 15+ pound cats and it’s sturdy.. I don’t have to worry about them escaping because of the bolts on the side. I love the top loading aspect because some of my cats are difficult and won’t go in headfirst.. It’s easy just to open the top and put them in..
