dog kennel

Today having dog kennels is very important thing when we have a dog or puppy. Fence yard is no longer the best solution for keeping our canine companion from become injured, lost, and maybe getting sick by the potentially harmful pesticides, chemicals, and other poisons when you are not around to supervise them.

Here are some tips for you when having dog kennels :

The size of dog kennels

Kennel size is determined by the size of the dog and how active the animal is.

For big dog you will need a tall one and extra space for having exercise because usually big dog is active one. For the small one or puppy you can have crate or kennel at the same size but separated it for multiple dog kennels.

The puppy needs room to stand, stretch, and sleep. There should be adequate room to turn around. It is important that the dog kennels have enough space for your dog to sleep, eat, and eliminate waste.

Location of dog kennels

You must decide the location of dog kennels will be outdoor or indoor.

Outdoor dog kennels always bigger than indoor one. If your goal of having dog kennel is to prevent the dog disturbing neighbour by their barking and smell, then you must place it farthest from them.

Indoor one doesn’t need to be big but enough for them to sit,stretch, lay down comfortably.

Material of dog kennel

For outdoor dog kennel chain link is the most popular used material. When purchasing chain link dog kennel make sure that there is no exposed wire ends that can cause injury to your dog and puppy.

For indoor, plastic is popular one but better use the wire or chain link material before use the plastic one, because the plastic crate or kennel is easily destroyed by aggressive dog breed. You can do crate training first to make them fell comfortable in plastic one.

Protection & Comfort

For outdoor dog kennels you will need to apply roof to protect them from sun heat and rain. Placing a dog house is another option to give the dog place to seek shelter in bad weather.
