Why an Outside Kennel would Great for your Dog!

If you have a good-sized garden an outside dog kennel is a great idea for your dog. There are plenty of different shapes and sizes of dog kennel to choose from, either a small one to nestle in the corner of the garden or a big one with a run area alongside it. Be sure to choose a clean, dry area that isn’t open to strong winds if you go for one of the smaller types, so that your dog doesn’t get over-exposed in draughts and rain.

Your dog should be able come and go from his dog kennel but should have either a dog run or a garden to run around in. Dog kennels in East Grinstead are usually made out of high quality timber that has been treated to withstand the weather or that is tantalised so that last for 20 years of maintenance-free use. It’s also important that the dog kennel, whatever its size, is lifted slightly from the ground to prevent rising damp and rotting. Click here for dog kennels or catteries.

The space where your dog lives might need to be enclosed if you letting him have the run of the garden but remember that dogs like to dig so you will want to make sure that the fence is not only high enough but also sunken into the soil enough so that the dog can’t get out. If you go for a larger kennel with adjoining dog run, then you can rest assured your dog will not escape - only if you leave the door open!

Your dog kennel must have a comfortable, easily accessible door along with at-least half of the house having shade to protect them from the sun. There are endless amounts of options when it comes to dog kennels in the market and it’s just a matter of deciding what would be the best fit for your dog to keep them happy and healthy.
