I called immediately after purchase to Cancel the purchase. Spoke to CS who said purchase would be cancelled assured. I ask for conf # but CS said had to send to another dept who would follow up w email confirmation. CS scammed me, I believe item stilled shipped. Bought a PP so they are following up. Either send me refund or authorize return through local Petco. CS deceitful practices👎.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Waste of money

Extremely disappointed - we bought this crate 5 days ago and my 6 month old puppy was able to escape. It has only been used 3 times. He chewed through the plastic around the springs for the door lock and was easily able to open his door from the inside. Total waste of money

No, I do not recommend this product.

Anxious dog chewed hole in plastic vent

Dog shadow

Bought a large (#400) for flying between California & Hawaii for my 50 pound mixed female. I like the crate but she hates flying alone in the plane’s hold (she is clingy and anxious). During the 2nd flight (going east) she bent one wire vent VERY SLIGHTLY, noticeable only on close inspection. During the latest trip west, she made a face-sized hole by chewing and bending the rear plastic vent. Will use aids of some kind for future flights (and car sickness). Meanwhile, can I buy a replacement top instead of a whole new crate??????

Yes, I recommend this product.

Unhappy dog chewed hole in rear vent

Bought this kennel (large #400) in fall of 2021 for flying back & forth from California to Hawaii. I like it, but my 50 pound female doesn’t like it. She chewed a face-sized hole in rear vent off the top half, while in the plane hold for the 5-hour flight. She bent the plastic back after tearing it. Previously she had slightly bent the metal side vent; only noticed on close inspection. Need to fly back to CA in a few months. I’ve heard about HEAVY expensive metal crates. Can I buy just a top to replace the damaged one????

No, I do not recommend this product.

I purchased a "you and me" brand previously and wanted the same thing, but it didn't look like you had one. I purchased this one. I am disappointed in the quality of it, especially the door. The door is not very heavy and very cheaply made. I would NEVER trust this crate on a plan either. I had hoped for much better quality for the price that I paid.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 10 of 65 Questions
Sort by: Newest Answers

how much does the 28' crate weight?

  1. Thank you for your inquiry. This item weighs 12.33 lbs. Please contact our consumer care team via email at consumerservices@petmate.com for any further questions or comments.



What size kennel is needed for a Lab weighing 76 pounds?

  1. XL definitely!



What size Kennel do I need for a 33 Lbs dog?

  1. Kennels that are about 2 1/2 feet long are good for small dogs, Dogs should be able to stand up with ease, fit through the door effortlessly and comfortably turn around .



I need to transport my 17lb cat in a flight in cargo. Is the small one also good for cats that are a bit heavy for regular cat crates?

  1. Thank you for your inquiry. The kennel will work for cats as well. If the weight of the pet is an issue, please get the next size up.



What is the weight of the XL crate

  1. Thank you for your inquiry. The weight of this size is 31lb. Sincerely, Petmate Consumer Services



What is the weight of the Petmate Ultra Vari Dog Kennel 36"L X 25"W X 27"H? Thank you.

  1. Thank you for your inquiry. The weight of the 36" kennel is 19lb. Sincerely, Petmate Consumer Services



What size carrier do I need for a 74 pound lab? That is airline approved

  1. It depends more on the height and length of your dog then the weight. Look at the IATA website for airline regulations. Most airlines refer you to their website.



What size is recommended for a 40-45 lb dog (medium or large)?

  1. I purchased the XL size for my 50lb dog and it’s perfect. I would not want her to be in a smaller size kennel.



Are the large size Petmate ultra vari kennels stackable? Are they strong enough to support the weight of a crate on top holding a 55-60 pound dog?

  1. I’m not sure if it would or not. I was using the top of the crate to store some papers, mail, etc. and the top started to bow in a little bit. There was a good amount of stuff on there but certainly not 60 pounds worth. Hope that helps. 



Does the material meet the IATA C82 requirements for pet travel?

  1. Yes. Our dog has flown in it.
