The 360-degree ventilation openings give pets fresh air and increased visibility. The wire vents, raised interior, and tie-down holes can withstand the rigors of travel while keeping pets comfortable. The kennel offers heavy-duty protection with its durable plastic shell, metal screws, and covered door posts. The secure latch provides a strong lock for the door while also being easy to open with one hand. The kennel can quickly be assembled with no tools required via metal screws. The environment friendly plastic material is easy to clean and wipe down. The kennel is available in different sizes, ranging from 25-90 pounds, to accommodate a wide range of pets. The travel kennel meets most airline cargo specifications for easy and safe travel, but pet owners should always check with individual airlines. Easy portability makes this kennel great for trips. Interior Dimensions: 29.5 L x 19.75 W x 23.5 H Inches Review: Good Buy - Purchased this for my 30 pound Border Collie. It's large enough for him to stand, turn around, and sleep in. It was one that I was sure was airline approved and it is light enough to easily handle. Has a good, sound metal door with a strong latching mechanism (unlike some of the other brands) and metal vents. The openings for hold-down straps are easy to use and the whole crate is holding up to use. The size was exactly the measurements advertised. The measurements listed are the outside, it is about 29" x 19.5" x 23" inside. The carrier fits inside the little Honda Insight. Additional Comments: Other reviews mentioned the lack of a handle. I have never seen carry handles on any carriers other than the smaller sizes, it is easier and safer to carry from the sides. Also, I wouldn't use this as a crate for daily crate training, it isn't roomy enough. This is really only designed for travel use. Review: Great kennel for airline travel - Ordered this last minute before flying my senior dog from Texas through Hawaii to Guam. Easy to set up and worked well. Roomy enough for my 20 pound Boston Terrier to be in for her journey. The water bowl attachment fit perfectly to the door. I zip-tied the front and back, where they have holes for, per recommendation of the relocation company. Great kennel. ## Features - DOG AIR TRAVEL KENNEL: This medium dog travel kennel features tie-down strap holes, wire vents for ventilation a raised interior to keep pets safe and comfortable For medium dogs 30-50 lbs Measures: 32" - AIRLINE-ADAPTABLE: This dog crate meets most airline cargo specifications Made with heavy duty recycled plastic material and features an easy-open front latch to quickly access pets - KENNELS HOUSES: Crate kennel training is vital for dog safety comfort We provide traditional travel carriers, wire training exercise kennels, play pens, barn-style dog houses more - Petmate: For over 50 years, we at Petmate are passionate about our dogs, cats furry friends in general Starting with the very first dog kennel, we've produced plenty of eco-friendly products that pets will love - JUST FOR PETS: Petmate makes a variety of pet products for dogs, cats, chickens other small furry friends Check out our brands such as Aspen Pet, Arm Hammer, Booda, Chuckit, Jackson Galaxy more ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00062KOTO | | ASIN | B00062KOTO | | Additional Features | Comfortable, Lockable, Made from Recycled Materials, Secure, Ventilated | | Best Sellers Rank | #59,066 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #155 in Basic Dog Crates | | Brand Name | Petmate | | Closure Type | Squeeze latch | | Color | TAUPE/BLACK | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (598) | | Date First Available | April 2, 2010 | | Department | unisex-adult | | Dog Breed Size | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00029695215520 | | Included Components | See Packaging | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 32"L x 22.5"W x 24"H | | Item Type Name | Ultra Vari Kennel | | Item Weight | 5.4 Pounds | | Item model number | 21552 | | Manufacturer | Petmate | | Manufacturer | Petmate | | Material Type | Plastic | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 50 Pounds | | Product Dimensions | 32 x 22.5 x 24 inches; 5.4 Pounds | | Product Style | Ultra Vari Kennel (30 to 50 lbs) | | Recommended Uses For Product | Traveling | | Size | 32.0"L x 22.5"W x 24.0"H | | Target Audience | Cat, Dog | | Target Species | Dog, Cat | | UPC | 029695215520 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Contact Manufacturer regarding Warranty Information | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Petmate - **Color:** TAUPE/BLACK - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Dimensions:** 32"L x 22.5"W x 24"H - **Special Feature:** Comfortable, Lockable, Made from Recycled Materials, Secure, Ventilated ## Images ![Petmate Ultra Vari Dog Kennel for Medium Dogs (Durable, Heavy Duty Dog Travel Crate, Made with Recycled Materials, 32 in. Long) 30 to 50 lbs, Made in USA - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CWhNn-WEL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hi, can you please tell me how much this kennel weighs?** A: We have the Giant Kennel (65+ lb dog). The Giant Kennel weighs approximately 40 lbs and takes up a bunch of space but if you need a kennel for a larger dog, this works really well and holds up great. **Q: Are the 4 bolts enough for flying my pets on a plane?** A: It actually comes with way more than 4 bolts. I have used this kennel 3 times to fly a dog with no problems! **Q: Are the fasteners plastic or metal? The airline we're using requires all metal fasteners.** A: They are metal bolts but the nuts were plastic so I just bought some that were all metal.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008AJYMJI/ref=pd_aw_sim_199_3?refRID=1PZW70GMJN487CS85FXF **Q: Is it sturdy? I have a do who is an escape artist and breaks out of wire crates.** A: The size I bought is slightly smaller than the 36" and I have Tibetan Spaniels. They haven't been aggressive with it, so it's been fine for them. Vari-Kennels were always good for my German Shepherds. If you have only used wire crates, you may find that the more enclosed plastic crate have a more calming den-like quality that helps settle your dog. Suggestion: when you get the plastic crate, leave the door open for a day or two and throw in a favorite treat a few times a day to make your dog more comfortable with being in it before being locked in it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Buy *by G***G on April 12, 2011* Purchased this for my 30 pound Border Collie.

Great kennel. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect size for our Shiba Inu *by E***T on January 8, 2021* We got the 32" kennel for our Shiba, who loves to lounge inside it during the day and sleeps in it every night. We used to have the size just below, which he also fit into, but he had to duck down a little when inside ... So we decided to get him a bigger "condo" so he'd be more comfortable, and we can tell he appreciates the extra room. Very sturdy crate, no top handle on this size though, but there are "lift" hand holds on either side. ## Frequently Bought Together - Petmate Ultra Vari Dog Kennel for Medium Dogs (Durable, Heavy Duty Dog Travel Crate, Made with Recycled Materials, 32 in.
