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.

Do you have replacement parts for the small Vari ultra
Answer by • Mar 18, 2018
At this time, replacements parts are only available directly from the Petmate manufacturer.
Are wing nuts and bolts are metal?
Answer by • Sep 25, 2021
This kennel includes metal screws with plastic wing nuts. For metal nuts/bolts to modify your kennel, the Petmate Kennel Airline Travel Kit is available for purchase separately.
Our puppy is growing so fast that I needed a larger kennel. It's just right for her and Petmate has good quality items. The construction is well made. Happy that I bought this one!

Crack in Top of Crate
Ordered this crate for a friend for travel. Crate arrived with crack in top piece, no damage to shipping box. Needed immediately, so could not replace. PLEASE, CHEWY, inspect product BEFORE shipping!

Don't purchase, handle breaks easily
We ordered a Petmate Ultra Vari Dog Kennel, size small, from Chewy on 7/2/21 in anticipation of our pup's arrival. The first time we used it was to take him to the vet on 8/25/21. Our pug hates car rides so has only been crated a handful of times. We never lift the crate with him inside, it remains tethered by seatbelt when we transport. The only time we move it is to transfer from back seat to trunk between uses. In early Aug this year, when lifting it from the trunk, the handle suddenly and loudly snapped into pieces and the crate fell to the ground. The small plastic tab that holds the two parts of the handle together just broke clean through. I'm shocked to see this could happen since the handle was only supporting the light weight of the container; I consider this defective. I called Petmate and since it was a few weeks past the warranty I'm out of luck. They told me to email them with pics and info for consideration but they are not responding.

Pet Cage for Puppy
Item came quickly and was easy to put together. Extra bolts were included in case some were lost over time. Puppy has gotten used to it and it is working as a bed at night.

Petmate Vari Kennel - simply the best plastic in which to transport
I bought 2 of these and I’ve used them for 30+ years. I have always preferred .. more importantly ... so have my cats ... the extra “head room” that this kennel provides. Cats ride comfortably in it, and they don’t seem to be uncomfortable over a ride of up to several hours. It’s sufficiently “open” for them to see out, and sufficiently “closed” for them to feel safe.
