Petmate® was born of a simple idea: the best place for pets is with the people who love them. With that in mind, founder Ben Doskocil designed the first pet carrier approved for air travel in 1964. It was the start of many smart solutions that established Petmate as the nation’s trusted authority for the best pet products. Pets everywhere raised their paws in celebration. The Petmate mission has remained steadfast: To make the experience of being a pet parent more enjoyable. It’s an ongoing endeavor, so visit us often to see the latest innovations in pet products and care. We promise many wags and purrs in return. Because we have pets too.
