Selecting a Dog Crate

A crate doesn’t have to be an ugly wire box. Kennel and Crate handcrafts each kennel to order, so we can get the configuration, size and design details just right. Designed for you dog, with your decor in mind.

When selecting a dog's crate or luxury dog kennel, you should consider a number of factors.

Single kennel with open adjustable shelves, barn door and distressed finish.

Some Important Factors While Selecting A Dog Crate

Materials

Kennel and Crate builds primarily out of Alder, which takes stains beautifully and is strong. We machine all our barn door brackets and rails out of steel in our workshop, the bars are cold rolled steel, and our chew guards are galvanized metal. We use low and no VOC finishing products.

Avoid soft woods, textured metals, and unfinished wood.

Crate Pads

Since our kennels are built to order, we leave it up to you and your dog to decide the best crate pad option. Some dogs prefer just a blanket and other dogs want an orthopedic mattress!

Crate Size

Measure your dog to ensure you order the correct size kennel. Kennel and Crate builds kennels up to 9’ 10” long and as tall and deep as. your doorways will allow. Double, triple and quad kennels have interior dividers, and we can create spaces of different sizes to accommodate your dogs - husky, tall, short or small, we can fit them all!

Design Details

Kennel and Crate can customize virtually every aspect of the kennel - from the size to the finish. We can incorporate storage like drawers, shelves and media cubbies. Kennels can be integrated into media centers, desks and bookcases.
We can also add details for your dogs’ comfort such as customizing the ratio of open bars to wood panels, adding extra doors and windows, and offsetting interior dividers to create kennels of different sizes.

Safety

A crate is a cozy, comforting space for your dog. Many people just leave the door open all the time so the dog can use the kennel any time they want. There are times when your dog may need to have the door closed for their own safety or just to make sure no shenanigans occur.
