A dog is the only being on earth that loves you more than itself. The unconditional love and loyalty shown by dogs for ages have made them our best buddies forever. Have you ever given a thought to how can you reward your dog for being your best companion ever? Well, the best way to do so is to get a nice dog kennel that not only looks good but offers your furry friend comfort and protection.
This blog post helps you with some tips that you should remember when choosing the right type of doggie kennel.
1. Perfect size for your dog
As we all know, dogs come in all shapes and sizes. Differences in appearance, height, weight and size are attributed to differences in their breed and the genes they carry, their general health and diet. Some dogs are stocky and tall, while others are fluffy and small. The best dog kennel should offer comfort and a proper amount space for your dog to move around in easily. Kennel and Crate builds each kennel to order up to 9’ 10” long so we can accommodate virtually any size dog. Measure your doorways so we can ensure a smooth entry upon delivery!
2. Quality Materials
The pet market is flooded with options from kennel manufacturers. There are a lot of companies offering kennels, from cheap options to premium ones. However, what makes the kennels different from each other and adds on to the cost of them is the quality of material chosen to make the dog kennel and the craftsmanship used to build it. For instance, people today prefer wooden dog kennels over other products, as the former offers several benefits. Besides being beautiful, wooden kennels are safe for your dog. Our kennels are built primarily of Alder wood, steel and low/no VOC finishes.

3. Form and Function
Just as we all wish for love and comfort, dogs also feel happy when you offer them a place of their own. A good kennel with air flow, that is cozy but has enough room to move around can be a perfect den for your loyal friend and one that will last a lifetime. In addition, dog kennels come with multiple functions that make things easier for you and your dog. Kennel and Crate kennels are designed for your dog with your decor in mind.
