What should you consider when buying a dog kennel?

If you're choosing a dog kennel, here are a few key features to look out for:

  • Size: Ensure the kennel is large enough for your dog to move around comfortably, but not so big that it loses its cosy feel. As a guideline, the kennel should be about twice as long as your dog and no more than 1.5 times their shoulder height.
  • Materials: Choose robust, weatherproof materials such as treated wood kennels or plastic kennels.
  • Flooring: The base should be slightly elevated or made from waterproof materials to keep out ground moisture and protect against cold.
  • Ventilation and Access: Proper ventilation (e.g. slits or openings) helps prevent moisture and odours. The entrance should be large enough for your dog to enter and exit comfortably.

Should I get an indoor or an outdoor dog kennel?

Choosing between an indoor and outdoor dog kennel depends on your dog's temperament, lifestyle, and your available space. Both options provide unique benefits for your dog's comfort, safety, and wellbeing. Review the table below for a detailed comparison of what each type of dog house offers:

Always provide adequate insulation, such as blankets and cushions, and supervision for outdoor setups.

Why should I use a dog fence with my kennel?

Dog looking through the dog barrier

A dog fence or dog barrier is an excellent way to keep your dog safe, whether they’re inside, outside, or in a multi-pet household. Here’s why pairing a fence with your kennel is so valuable:

  • Creates a Safe, Defined Area: Fences around outdoor kennels or gardens give dogs more freedom to explore, play, and exercise safely, without the risk of escaping or venturing somewhere unsafe (like driveways or pools).
  • Supports Training & Management: Dog gates prevent dogs from accessing restricted zones (like kitchens or bedrooms) and support house rules, making management easier for puppies, active breeds, or during training.
  • Multi-Pet Households: Dog runs and puppy pens can give your dog a dedicated space to rest undisturbed, especially important where other pets might compete for space or food.
  • Peace of Mind: Whether used inside (as a dog barrier or gate) or outside (as perimeter fencing, pens or runs), dog fences allow you to leave your dog peacefully in their kennel, knowing they can’t wander off or get into trouble.

Tip: Dog doors and flaps may offer your dog ease of access to their outdoor kennel, meaning you will spend less time opening and closing doors for your dog.
