Crates & Kennels

For our canine companions, a sense of security is paramount. Enter dog crates and kennels, which provide more than just containment – they offer a cosy den, a safe haven, and a valuable tool for training and travel.

Crates: Cosy Homes for Indoor Use

Dog crates are typically smaller enclosures, often made of metal wire with a plastic tray lining the bottom. They come in various sizes, designed to comfortably fit your dog while allowing them enough space to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Think of them as a personal bedroom for your pup.

A crate utilizes a dog's natural denning instinct. Confined to a clean space, pups are less likely to eliminate where they sleep, which helps with house training. Crates offer a familiar retreat during stressful situations like thunderstorms or fireworks. Crates ensure your dog's safety and comfort during car rides or crate-trained air travel.

Kennels: Spacious Enclosures for Indoor or Outdoor Use

Kennels, on the other hand, are larger enclosures made from various materials like wood, metal, or strong plastic.  They often provide more room for movement and may even include features like a covered porch area for outdoor kennels.

Kennels are ideal for larger breeds as they offer spacious comfort for dogs who wouldn't fit comfortably in a crate.

Outdoor kennels, with proper shelter and ventilation, provide a safe space for supervised playtime or relaxation in the fresh air.

Both crates and kennels offer distinct advantages.  Consider your dog's size, temperament, and lifestyle needs when making your choice.  For crate training or smaller living spaces, a crate might be ideal. If you have a larger dog or need an option for extended outdoor stays, a kennel could be the better fit.  Ultimately, the best choice provides your furry friend with a secure and comfortable haven they can call their own.
