Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise the sturdy construction, airline compliance, and secure design ideal for large breed travel. Most highlight the metal-reinforced door, reliable latch system, and spacious interior that safely accommodates growing dogs. Many report successful international flights and stress-free pet transport. However, a significant group reports door mechanism failures within months, citing cracking plastic pins and loosening wingnuts requiring replacement parts. Despite durability concerns, most customers consider it the gold standard for secure pet air travel.

Not sturdy at all

I myself didnt like it. If your pet has an accident its hard to get the smell out. It is portable. And its not very comfortable for your pet when carrying them because its not sturdy. My cat hated it.

I’m going to have to DIY this with wire mesh to make it compliant for new 2026 guidelines for cats. The holes are too big.

This is a great product I have used it to transfer my cat to and from the vet. She seems to be less scared and I love not getting scratches. Its great for skittish cats

So easy to take anywhere and my dog can stand comfortably. It is not the type of crate where a dog has trouble getting air. The openings allow air to flow easily.

This lightweight sturdy plastic is light enough to carry around in the vehicle or for other travel needs. These are rated to go onto airlines which makes it convenient for the travelers. Easy to put together and take apart. Stack if you have more than one but not too small that your pet feels confined.

Not truly ready for flying. Must buy Flying Kit.

3 months ago
The product seems to be solid, but for some reason it is shipped with plastic components to screw together the top and bottom rather than metal pieces which many airlines require. To get the metal versions you have to purchase a separate travel kit which is also a bit confusing to use because it combines all the screw lengths required for multiple different sized crates. I guess it makes it easier for them than having to sell multiple travel kits for their multiple crate sizes. It seems to me that they should just include the right kind of metal screws, bolts, etc. so that the create is completely ready for flying.

Questions

1 - 10 of 38 Questions

What size are the ventilation holes for the large kennel?

  1. Thank you for your question. The ventilation openings vary throughout the kennel and are not specifications we publish. If you're asking because of a specific travel requirement or concern, please let us know a little more about your intended use and we'd be happy to help determine whether the kennel is a good fit.



What are the internal dimensions of the Petmate Sky Dog Kennel, 48" L x 32" W x 35" H?

  1. 34" L x 22'' W and 30"H



Anyone know what the actual inside dimensions are of the 21" carrier?

  1. Hello, The 21" Interior Dims: 18.75" L x 13.5" W x 14.5" H



How can this crate be secured in a car?

  1. You can secure the Kennels with a seat belt.



Can someone tell me the measurement of the footprint of the base of this crate (medium)?

  1. Thank you for your inquiry, The internal dimensions of the 32" are 29.5" L x 19.75" W x 23.5" H and the external dimensions are 32" L x 22.5" W x 24" H. Sincerely, Petmate Consumer Services



Quick question, I have a 95 pound great dane mixed mutt. His kennel at home which is a crate is 30inch in hight and he stand in it just fine. Will the XL cage fit him?

  1. Thank you for your inquiry. The best way to select the perfect kennel size is while your pet is standing, measure your pet from the tip of their nose to the base of their tail. While your pet is sitting or standing, measure your pet from the top of their head to the floor. The height of the kennel should be 3-4 inches taller and longer than your pet so there's ample space to fully stand up, easily turn around, and comfortably lie down! Too small and your pet will be uncomfortable; too large and your pet might attempt to use the bathroom in their space. We hope this helps! Sincerely, Petmate Consumer Services



Can a divider panel be purchased for the 48” petmate kennel? It looks like the divider panels only go up to 40”. 

  1. Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately the only plastic kennel that comes with a divider is our Petmate Navigator Kennel. The divider only fits with that kennel. Sincerely, Petmate Consumer Services



I have a 40 lbs female husky that is about 21 inches in height and I’ve been debating on getting the large or XL. What would be the best fit for her trip from Hawaii to WA.

  1. I have a 78 LB dog and got the Large (500). He fit well and seemed as comfortable as a dog can be on a plane to the mainland. It's a very solid but still easy to put together and take apart.



Does this carrier have a handle?

  1. No, unfortunately it doesn't have a handle.



I have a 9 year old boxer lab Staffordshire terrior, she's a rescue who does fine now, but, its them darn cats shes overly curious about. Would this be tough enough?

  1. Thank you for your inquiry. These are training kennels and are not made of the same consistency as crates you may find in animal shelters etc. In actuality, and not to dismiss the matter, we have discovered that neither the breed or weight of an animal matters much if it does not want to be contained. They will do everything they can and use all of their extremities to remove themselves for the enclosed quarter. We do offer crate training tips on our website at www.petmate.com. Thank you - we appreciate your time. Sincerely, Petmate Consumer Services
