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.

About Petmate

Petmate started out making kennels back in 1959 and they haven’t stopped since. They now offer a vast line of different products for all sorts of pets and provide trusted solutions for pet parents everywhere. They care about the environment, too, employing eco-friendly manufacturing techniques at their Edison Green Award-winning facility and embracing new technologies to further reduce impacts.

Questions & Answers

50 Customer Questions

What are the interior dimensions of the Large Petmate Vari dog and cat kennel?

Answer by Chewy • Aug 21, 2018
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.

Is the inside bottom of the crate flat?

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

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.

Bought this carrier to transition from the soft sided ones I had. For various reasons I wanted a “solid” carrier. This one was very easy to put together and seems sturdy and well-made. And as always with Chewy products it shipped and arrived quickly.

I bought 2. Had to return one bc there was a defective sharp metal piece on the grid that was not filed/ cut properly and afraid my dog would get her nose cut up on the 5 hour flight. Prices are better than the one at the pet store but I had to purchase another one asap. I removed 1 star for the inconvenience but 4 stars provided bc Airlines approved the carrier and everything else was great.

I initially purchased this crate for a board-and-train client who was spending two weeks with me this summer. I prefer the airline-style crates, as they are more denlike and help dogs feel safe in a strange place, and this one worked well for that purpose. I have since adopted a 50-lb. Border collie mix, and the crate makes a safe, comfortable space for her to decompress when she's tired.

Lightweight

Beware other carriers!!! Top load did not work for me plus very heavy. Fabric wasn’t supportive. This one is the good old carrier that always works.

This is a good quality crate and was very easy to assemble. My dog hated being in a wire crate but loves his new cozy home so much that he runs right in without being told and isn’t anxious to get out in the morning. Chewy offers the absolute best pricing on crates, this same style was over $150 at our local pet store.

Got this crate for Suki who is abt 35 lbs. It's great! I'm glad I ordered it. It has plenty of room for her with space left over. It seems well made and was very easy to assemble. I was using my huge cats crate for her which was just enough room but not quite as much as she needed. My cat Loki is happy to have his box back. I was in the dog house bc of the crate swapping. I highly recommend this dog crate.
