  • Our take on the Petmate All Purpose Kennel - Vari

    The Petmate Vari Kennel is a hard-sided plastic pet crate for housebreaking, training and travel. It has a squeeze-latch door, 360-degree ventilation, an interior moat that keeps pets dry, and tamper-proof holes for zip ties on the door. Smaller sizes have a carry handle that also secures in a vehicle; larger sizes have tie-down strap holes. It assembles without tools, and the EcoTEC plastic contains at least 90% pre-consumer recycled material. It is a basic, sturdy crate that costs less than premium airline-style crates but lacks the metal frame and crash-test claims of brands like Ruff Land or Gunner.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Petmate Vari Kennel airline approved?
    Petmate says it meets most air travel requirements when the wing nuts and bolts are used. Airlines set their own rules, so confirm with your carrier before flying.
    How do I pick the right size?
    Measure your pet's length and height and compare with the interior dimensions, not the outside size. The pet should stand, turn and lie down with room to spare.
    Does it require tools to assemble?
    No. It ships with spiral wing nuts and bolts and snaps together by hand. Use the wing nuts for air travel.
    Can it be secured in a car?
    The 19, 24 and 28 inch sizes have a handle that doubles as a vehicle tie point. The 32, 36 and 40 inch sizes have tie-down strap holes.
    What is the interior moat for?
    It is a raised lip inside the floor that keeps spills and accidents away from the pet's bedding.
    What is included in the box?
    The kennel halves, door, and spiral wing nuts and bolts. No pad or bowl is included.
