## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this crate/kennel IATA ?Airline cargo approved with a 65lb. mutt?**
A: Definitely need to check with your airline about whether they will carry the larger sized crates.  Tall skinny dogs will often require very large crates (our 50-pound standard poodle is 30+ inches tall and therefore requires an XXL crate!), but most airlines will only accommodate such large crates on wide body aircraft.  Given that most US air travel today is by narrow body planes pursuant to hub & spoke networks, transporting large (or even just tall) dogs by air can be tricky!

**Q: is it bolted**
A: 3/16th inch 10-24. That will get you to the hardware store to buy bolts and nuts. These are carriage bolts by the way.

**Q: What does the crate weigh empty?**
A: Information from http://www.pettravelcenter.com/products/detail/339/59:Petmate Sky Kennel Dog Crate (lots of info at this website!)Sizes and breed recommendations, according to the manufacturerSmall = 21"L x 16"W x 15"H (Cats, Toy Poodles, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzus) - For pets up to 15 lbs. (Actual Crate Weight: 6.02 lbs.)Medium = 28"L x 20.5"W x 21.5"H (Beagles, Shelties, Min. Poodles, Cockers, Lhasa Apsos) - For pets 25-30 lbs. (Actual Crate Weight: 12.5 lbs.)Intermediate = 32"L x 22.5"W x 24"H (Springers, Border Collies, Bull Dogs) - For pets 30-50 lbs.

(Actual Crate Weight: 51.5 lbs.)*Lg, XLg and Giant have 4-point locking door for added security*Med, Intermediate, Lg, XLg have tie down holes in corners for tying down in trucks or trailers*Small and Medium have handles, larger sizes do notVisual size/feature comparison: http://www.dogsupplynetwork.com/petmate-sky-kennel.htmlI have the X-Large 70-90 pds and really love it. It is like a mini-room for my 60 pd. puppy. The lock is secure yet simple to operate. Well ventilated with windows on all sides and tall enough for my dog to stand comfortably. I would not hesitate to recommend it. (Have not used it for airline travel-only as a home kennel) Update: My dog is now 88 pounds (german shepherd/border collie) and extremely muscular. He has not defeated the latch system. Plenty of room for him to stand and move within the crate. Fourteen months old and Kennel looks and functions just as it did on day one. I am purchasing a second one for my golden retriever puppy.

**Q: Is this kennel FAA approved**
A: Absolutely 100% FAA approved.  This is THE airline create used all over the world.  With that said, you should still check with your individual airline as they each seem to have their own rules and can vary depending on the type of aircraft being used for the particular flight.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Met most international airline travel requirements
*by S***S on July 16, 2025*

I used this and the metal screw additional set to bring my pets to japan. I had a large one for the dog and a medium one for the cat. I didn't have any issues with Japan airlines.The crates were really spacious, and I feel like I could've bought smaller sizes because of how much room they actually had in there. It was easy to assemble and very sturdy. The design fit airline standards for international travel, but you will have to buy the extra kit for the screws.Both pets made it in one piece, so it served its purpose. The downside was that that take up too much space, so carrying them is impossible, you need a luggage cart. And then finding a vehicle to fit them in was expensive. We needed to rent a large van. And then no closet would fit them, so I had to disassemble them and store them outside, until I realized I really didn't need them, then I had to pay for large item pickup to dispose of them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ easy to assemble
*by J***S on July 24, 2025*

The media could not be loaded. I was a little bit skeptical about purchasing this item and wanted to confirm it met all the requirements with the Airline. I’ve never flown with my pet before, but this kennel was very sturdy, spacious and easy to assemble. I recommend it to anyone who’s planning on traveling with their pet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grateful for the high quality
*by T***. on August 6, 2025*

We love these kennels. When we do need them, they are high quality, durable, and strong.
