A dog has been a man’s best friend for ages. Dogs have proved their dedication to us and are known to be the most loyal pets and the best companions.

This blog post brings you some points to keep in mind while deciding whether a crate is good for your dog or not.

As you probably know, a dog crate is designed to create a cozy den and it can be made in several different designs. Why not make it a functional piece of dog crate furniture? In addition to creating a safe space for your dogs, Kennel and Crate can incorporate drawers and shelves to add storage for leashes, harnesses, toys, poop bags - whatever you need for your dogs OR storage for your odds and ends.

Our custom crate area a great option when your furry friend needs his own space in which to rest and relax. Our doors are sturdy but if you don’t care to confine your dog, leave the door open to allow complete freedom.

Dog owners look for ways to make their pets feel comfortable and happy. While choosing a suitable crate for your dog, you must check out the material used to make the dog crate so that your pet not just fits in it properly but can rest securely too. Kennel and Crate products are primarily constructed from Alder wood and steel. We can finish the kennel in your choice of stain and/or paint. Need something special? We can mimic your existing finishes in your home to blend in, or you can choose a contrasting color to create a beautiful accent piece.

Our kennels come standard with hinged doors and a stained finish. Double, Triple and Quad kennels have interior dividers. We build each kennel to order, up to 9’ 10” long so we can fit a specific space, like a nook, or incorporate drawers and shelves for added storage.

Our luxury kennels are designed for your dog, with your decor in mind. Each kennel is crafted by hand from quality materials.

Kennel and Crate builds each kennel to order. We can customize virtually every detail of your kennel. We can integrate your kennel into a console, media center, desk, end-table or nightstand. We can add drawers and shelves to maximize storage. Order standard single and double kennels at our website or call us at 405-624-0062 to order triple, quad and custom kennels.

When it comes to deciding the length of time your dog should stay inside the crate, the the best course of action is to gradually increase the time with you moving in and out of the room at regular intervals. Then, as your furry friend starts to relax and enjoy their cozy den, you can increase the time away.

Our hinged doors lay flat against the kennel, so you can leave the door open to allow free access and the door will stay out of the way. Our barn doors feature a spring bolt lock, accessible only from the exterior.

Crates serve as effective tools to manage your dog training, which ultimately makes you and your pet comfortable, relaxed and happy.
