Overview
A 28-inch hard-sided travel kennel from Petmate built to meet airline cargo requirements for dogs weighing 15 to 30 pounds. It is made in the USA.
The Sky Kennel is Petmate's air-travel crate, distinct from an at-home wire crate because it is designed around airline pet-cargo rules rather than convenience or foldability. No further spec sheet was provided for this listing beyond size and weight range.
- 28-inch size
- Airline compliant design
- Rated for dogs 15-30 lbs
- Made in the USA
Who it's for
Owners who need to fly with a dog in the 15-30 pound range, or who want a durable hard-sided kennel for road travel. Not the right pick if you only need an indoor crate.
Pros and cons
- Meets airline pet-cargo compliance standards
- Made in the USA
- Hard shell suited to travel handling
- Bulkier and heavier than a folding wire crate
- Limited spec detail available for this listing
- Sized only for the 15-30 lb range
Performance notes
As a hard-sided kennel, it trades the foldability of wire crates for the rigidity airlines require in cargo transport. Beyond size and weight range, the listing does not provide further construction detail.
