Why it matters
Petmate says the Sky Kennel meets IATA requirements for live animal transport and most airline cargo specifications. The 36 in size measures 36 x 25 x 27 in for dogs of 50–70 lb. It is made in the USA from recycled-content plastic, with a squeeze-latch door, and comes with two 'Live Animal' stickers, ID stickers, a food and water cup and an absorbent pad.
