What Should You Put in a Dog Crate?

Your crate should be a homey comfortable and welcoming spot where your dog can be safe and cozy. A properly sized kennel provides safe den-like environment. Kennel and Crate builds each kennel to order so the crate is as stylish as it is functional. Add in some accessories like bedding and toys and you’ve created happy home for your precious pup.

Beds in Crates

Have something comfortable to lay on in the crate. Since each Kennel and Crate product is built by hand, we recommend that you wait until your kennel is delivered to purchase any special bedding. Some dogs just want an old blanket and some dogs want an orthopedic mattress. You know your dog best so choose what works for your dog.

Food and Water

A bit simpler is the question of food and water in a dog's crate. It is not advised to leave food and water in the crate.

Crate Toys

Please make sure any toys left in the crate are appropriate for your dog. There are endless options to choose from - chew toys to puzzles - to entertain and soothe your dog or to provide mental stimulation.
