The Petmate Story

Over 60 years ago, Petmate began with a single focus on providing safe pet transportation, resulting in the creation of the very first dog kennel. Flash forward to today, and the same love & bond that existed to provide safe travels for our pets now permeates through the 21 brands we own. Knowing that pets are every bit as much a part of the family, we are constantly working – not just on creating reliable products – but more importantly on how we can improve your pets’ quality of life. Our commitment now and in the future is to continue a responsible evolution of manufacturing practices with the well-being of all pets at the center of everything we do.

Petmate is a special place, where everything we make and do is about improving the quality of life for pets, and pet parents. Filled with engaging, passionate, and creative people, our promise is to design and produce products which fill a specific need. Loving pets is what we’re all about.
