Buy dog kennels in Switzerland - winter-proof wooden dog kennels
Discover high-quality wooden dog kennels that have been specially developed for the requirements in Switzerland. Whether you are looking for a winter-proof dog kennel for outdoors or a sheltered retreat for indoors - at Sanilu you will find durable dog kennels that combine comfort, protection and stability.
A suitable dog kennel not only offers your dog protection from the cold, wind and weather, but also a safe retreat of its own. Especially in the Swiss climate, a well-designed dog kennel is crucial to ensure that your dog feels comfortable all year round - in the garden, on the patio or indoors.
Determine the correct dog kennel size: How to measure correctly
The size of the dog kennel should be precisely tailored to your dog's needs. Measure your dog from the tip of its nose to the base of its tail and add 30-40 cm - this is the ideal kennel length. The interior should offer enough space for your dog to turn around, lie down and stand up comfortably.
Detailed measuring instructions (incl. tables and typical errors): Measuring dog kennels correctly - Size chart for dog kennels.
Rules of thumb for the right dog kennel size:
- Small dogs (up to 25 kg): Dog kennel should be approx. 1.2x the dog's body length
- Medium dogs (25-40 kg): Sufficient space to stand and turn around
- Large dogs (over 40 kg): Spacious dog kennels with reinforced construction
Insulated vs. non-insulated dog kennels
Insulation and climate control are two of the most important factors to consider when choosing a dog kennel. A well-insulated dog kennel not only provides protection from the cold, wind and damp in winter, but also plays an important role in summer.
Winter-proof dog kennels with insulation
The right insulation is essential, especially for dog breeds that are not made for extreme weather conditions. With good insulation, the heat given off by the dog is stored inside the kennel, creating a comfortable and pleasant environment for your pet.
Ventilation for the summer
In summer, good ventilation options are crucial. Some of our dog kennels offer ventilation openings or even a removable roof to promote air circulation and prevent a stuffy, hot climate inside the kennel.
Materials for durable dog kennels
The choice of materials plays a crucial role in the longevity of your dog kennel:
Wooden dog kennels:
- Douglas fir: Particularly weather-resistant and durable
- Impregnated spruce: Good weather protection at a fair price
- Pine wood: Classic material with a natural look
Special coatings and glazes offer additional weather protection and significantly extend the life of your dog kennel.

Frequently asked questions about dog kennels
Buying a dog kennel in Switzerland - what should I look out for? ▼
When buying a dog kennel in Switzerland, pay particular attention to weather protection, stability and the right size. Due to the Swiss climate, an insulated dog kennel that reliably protects against cold, wind and moisture is recommended for outdoor use. Equally important are high-quality wooden materials and a clean finish. The dog kennel should offer your dog enough space and provide a pleasant climate in both winter and summer.
What size should a dog kennel be? ▼
The ideal dog kennel size is: Dog length + approx. 30-40 cm. Your dog should be able to turn around, lie down and stand up comfortably. As a rule of thumb, the dog kennel should be about 1.2 times as long and wide as the dog. The height must allow the dog to stand upright.
Which dog kennel is suitable for the Swiss winter? ▼
Insulated dog kennels are recommended for the Swiss winter, as they provide reliable protection against cold, wind and moisture. At Sanilu, all dog kennels that are selected using the "insulated" filter are suitable for year-round outdoor use. Popular examples of winter-proof dog kennels include the Leonie dog kennel, Naomi dog kennel and Heidi dog kennel. These models have high-quality insulation that keeps the dog's body heat inside while protecting it from the cold outside. Many of our dog kennels can be ordered either insulated or uninsulated. This allows you to adapt the dog kennel exactly to the location and needs of your dog - whether for the sheltered garden area, winter use or milder temperatures.
Does my dog kennel need insulation? ▼
Yes, insulation is highly recommended for Swiss winters. Insulated dog kennels provide better protection against the cold in winter and heat in summer. An insulated dog kennel is particularly useful for older dogs or animals with thin coats in Swiss weather conditions. An already insulated dog kennel that is one of our bestsellers is the Diana dog kennel.
Which material is best for dog kennels? ▼
Douglas fir and impregnated spruce are ideal for the Swiss climate. Wood is breathable, naturally insulating and very durable. High-quality wood treatment is important to ensure that the dog kennel is permanently protected from the weather.
Which dog kennel is suitable for large dogs? ▼
Generously dimensioned dog kennels with a stable construction are particularly important for large dog breeds weighing approx. 40 kg or more. Your dog should be able to stand, turn and lie down stretched out without any problems. Suitable models for large dogs include the Rex dog kennel in the large version, the Benjamin dog kennel and the Clara dog kennel, both of which are also available in larger versions. These dog kennels offer sufficient space and increased stability. If you are unsure, we recommend selecting a dog kennel based on your dog's body size or choosing a larger version to ensure maximum comfort in the long term.
Can I build a dog kennel myself? ▼
Yes, with a little manual skill, you can easily assemble it yourself. Most dog kennels are supplied as a kit. Alternatively, we at Sanilu offer a professional assembly service throughout Switzerland, where experienced technicians professionally assemble the dog kennel on site.
