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.

Questions & Answers

The interior dimensions of the Small are 17 x 14 x 14 inches, the interior dimensions of the Medium are 24 x 18.5 x 20.5 inches, the interior dimensions of the Intermediate are 28 x 20.5 x 23 inches, the interior dimensions of the Large are 32 x 23 x 26 inches.

Where can I buy replacement doors for the intermediate, large and extra large?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 07, 2020
Replacement parts may be purchased through the manufacturer directly.

How do you secure the intermediate size crate in a car or SUV

Answer by Chewy • Jun 30, 2023
To secure a plastic kennel, place the kennel on the back seat behind the driver seat or passenger seat. Do not place the kennel in the middle seat. Grab your car's seatbelt and pull it around the length of the kennel and buckle it. Make sure your seatbelt is locked so that the kennel does not slide when you make turns. For larger plastic kennels, you may need to invest in safety straps that can be clipped onto your dog's kennel and buckled right into your seatbelt latch. If you're unable to find these, you may need to place the kennel in the cargo area of your SUV. It is highly recommended to secure your pets in the back seat instead of the front seat.

Is the inside bottom of the crate flat?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 09, 2018
The inside bottom of this kennel has a flat surface.

Quality

This crate is amazing. It’s sturdy, easy to put together and take apart. I did not need to add zip ties to the allotted holes either. That’s just got extra security

Crate was okay

Crate was okay but it was broken, broke during shipping. I have another crate like it and this one doesn’t seem as sturdy. My XL Bully is a savage, big and strong

Crate was okay but it was broken, broke during shipping. I have another crate like it and this one doesn’t seem as sturdy. My XL Bully is a savage, big and strong so I’m sure he will break this one also.

I have a dog that has some separation anxiety. The traditional foldable wire crates did not work. When we purchased this crate, he immediately liked it. He chooses to go into it and the solid walls make him feel safe and secure. This is the only crate he hasn’t broken out of, that I feel at peace leaving him in, and it is the only one he seems to like. If you are on the fence and have a dog you struggles with separation anxiety, get this crate, it was one of the best purchases we made for our sweet dog.

Not for “giant breed”

My Doberman can barely fit in this. He’s just under 90 pounds. He can lay down but isn’t comfortable it. He demolishes everything else and houdinis out of the metal

My Doberman can barely fit in this. He’s just under 90 pounds. He can lay down but isn’t comfortable it. He demolishes everything else and houdinis out of the metal wire crates and I couldn’t afford a $300+ crate right now. This one was on sale. We barely use it, but like having it just in case. This would be great for a “large” dog that’s on the petite size. But your average large to giant will not fit in this comfortably. No picture bc my dobie blends in with the black park

Perfect for car rides

I easily put the crate together and gladly replaces the wire crate we had in our back seat. This is clean, roomy and comfortable for our wire hair terrier mix. I

I easily put the crate together and gladly replaces the wire crate we had in our back seat. This is clean, roomy and comfortable for our wire hair terrier mix. I attached a water dish to the gate and put a soft quilt in it and really love it. Ollie jumps in and seems to really like it.

Great Crate

Perfect size for my growing puppy. He’s about 21 pounds but has a long body. Crate seems sturdy and safe. The door works well. No handle on the top though. So more

Perfect size for my growing puppy. He’s about 21 pounds but has a long body. Crate seems sturdy and safe. The door works well. No handle on the top though. So more difficult to move from room to room. Maybe due to the size of the crate.

Petmate crate offers perfect security

My little puppy is very happy in her crate and it feels more like a cocoon for sleeping than the wire crate in the main area of the house.

quick and safe delivery

Amid a series of snow storms, the carrier was safely delivered to the proper doorstep. Chewy's reliability in the face of obstacles is remarkable.
