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.

Sharp edges
By Diane on Apr 3, 2020
Sloppy trim job on the plastics. All edges had sharp plastic ridges I had to trim all around or you would get cut. On the top by handle was a blob of plastic with a very sharp tip had to cut and file down. This carrier was better made when vari-kennel owned it. Was disappointed

Chewy, love them! Petmate kennels, not so much.
By Cricket on Dec 19, 2019
Chewy is a great company! Always fast shipping & great customer service. Not happy with the poorer quality of this kennel. Thinner plastic with messy edges,I had to trim the edges with a box cutter. Just not the quality they had a few years ago. Disappointing!

Nice kennel
By ChiMama on Nov 12, 2019
This is the 4th Vari Kennel I have purchased. Just as the others this one is very sturdy and is perfect for taking my Chihuahuas to dog shows, travel, vet visits as well as sleeping at night. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the screws and bolts used to hold the top and bottom together are extremely hard to screw in. Had to have my husband help me and he too had difficulty. The previous Vari Kennels did not have this issue.

The BEST pet kennel on the market!
By susghost017 on Oct 14, 2019
We have been using the Ultra Petmate Vari Kennel for our canine family members for almost 30 years, ranging in size from the very smallest for toy breeds to an extra large for a big hunting dog. Every kennel is made to the same exacting standards, is easy to clean, extremely durable and meets airline standards for pet transport. There is plenty of ventilation to keep your pet cool and comfortable and the crate door is also well ventilated, is reversible and closes securely

Love Petmate Products...Was in search fro this exact size and was so happy to find for our newest little dog...We use for transporting and for eating in...All our dogs are fed in crates to keep each other from stealing each others food...I have noticed that crate is getting used for respite as well.

Cannot decide how to feel about this
By Meghan0811 on Jul 6, 2019 Top 500 Contributor
I was so excited to find these older style vari kennels. I was baffled when it arrived with one of the side metal vents completely popped out. I was able to get it back in place, but it does leave me wondering how dependable this crate will be. The plastic looks like the good ol' vari kennels, but it is much more thin and light weight. It must crack and break easily, because there is a small piece missing by the door. I think it will hold up now that I got it back together, but for what I paid, I expected more from petmate. Chewy as usual did not let me down...crate was here the next business day. Incredible.

great, but wrong color
By hopman on Apr 14, 2019
The crate is great. Just what I wanted...except...I ordered the color Bleached Linen. What arrived is a dark taupe. The pictures show Linen and Blue. Where did the gray come from?? Otherwise, the crate is great.
