Dog kennels

Find the right dog kennel for your four-legged friend here.

Why is a dog kennel important for your pet?

A dog kennel can be useful not only for outdoor use, but also for indoor use. Some dogs feel more comfortable when they have their own space that gives them privacy and peace and quiet. This can be particularly helpful in a turbulent household or when settling in with a new dog.

But not every dog kennel is the same. The right choice depends on various factors, such as the size and temperament of your dog, the climate and, of course, your own aesthetic preferences. In the following sections, we will go into more detail about the factors to consider when choosing a dog kennel.

The dog kennel is therefore more than a simple accessory; it is an essential element for your dog's well-being. Whether for indoors or outdoors, a well-chosen dog kennel can significantly improve your pet's quality of life.

Materials and construction: Which materials are best suited for a dog kennel?

When it comes to choosing the right dog kennel, the material plays a crucial role. Different materials have different advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to consider the needs of your dog and the climatic conditions in your region.

Wood

Wood is a classic material for dog kennels and provides natural insulation. It is stable and durable, but it can also be heavy and require regular maintenance to prevent rot and pests.

Plastic

Plastic huts are lighter and easier to clean than their wooden counterparts. They are often waterproof and require less maintenance, but can be less insulating in hot climates.

Metal

Metal is particularly robust and durable, but not the best choice for cold or hot climates as it does not insulate temperature fluctuations well.

Construction method

In addition to the material, the design of the dog kennel also plays a role. Look for a sturdy construction with rounded edges to prevent injuries. A removable roof can make cleaning easier, and a raised floor protects your dog from the cold and damp.

Therefore, choosing the right material and the right construction method is crucial when buying or building a dog kennel yourself. Consider both the advantages and disadvantages of the different materials to find the ideal dog kennel for your four-legged friend's needs.

Dog kennels - sizes and models: How do you choose the right size and model?

Choosing the right dog kennel is more than just a matter of taste; it is also crucial for the well-being of your dog. Here are some important factors to consider when choosing the right size and model of dog kennel.

Sizing

The size of the dog kennel should be precisely tailored to your dog's needs. The interior should offer enough space for your dog to turn around, lie down and stand up comfortably. However, too much space can make the dog feel less secure.

Models and designs

There are numerous models and designs, from simple to multi-storey dog kennels. Some have additional features such as an integrated food or water bowl.

Insulation and climate control: how does a well-insulated dog kennel protect your four-legged friend?

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 offers protection from the cold, wind and moisture in winter, but also plays an important role in summer. Especially for dog breeds that are not made for extreme weather conditions, the right insulation is essential. Good insulation means that the heat given off by the dog is stored inside the kennel, creating a comfortable and pleasant environment for your pet.

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.

The choice of materials also plays a decisive role. Wood is an excellent natural insulating material, but special plastics and coatings can also provide additional weather protection. In summary, a well-insulated dog kennel is much more than a luxury item. It is essential to ensure the well-being and health of your four-legged friend. It is therefore advisable not to skimp on insulation if you are looking for a reliable solution that can be used all year round.

Dog kennel interior design: ideas for furnishing and equipment

The interior design of a dog kennel plays a key role in the well-being of your four-legged friend. From comfortable lying areas to practical storage options: The furnishings should be both functional and comfortable.

Lying surfaces

Choose a soft but hard-wearing lying surface that is easy to clean. A padded dog bed, dog cushion or washable blanket offers your dog a cozy place to rest.

Toys and chews

A few well-chosen toys or chews can help keep your dog comfortable and entertained in his kennel. However, the quantity should be limited so as not to overcrowd the interior.

Hooks and shelves

Depending on the size of the dog kennel, small hooks or shelves for leads, toys or grooming items can be useful. This keeps the interior tidy and everything important is quickly to hand.

Water bowl

Another consideration is the integration of a sturdy water bowl that cannot be knocked over so easily. Especially on hot days, a constant source of water in the form of a dog bowl in the kennel is essential.

Maintenance and care: How do you keep the dog kennel clean and hygienic?

The cleanliness of a dog kennel is crucial for the health and well-being of your pet. With regular maintenance and care, you can ensure that the dog kennel remains a hygienic retreat.

Daily inspection

Check the dog kennel daily for dirt or moisture. Remove any scattered food, toys or other objects that need to be cleaned.

Clean dog kennel weekly

Your dog kennel deserves a thorough clean at least once a week. Instead of using conventional cleaning agents or water-vinegar mixtures, we recommend Sanilu Clean. Thanks to its optimized formula, it reliably removes even stubborn dirt and ensures a hygienic environment in which your dog can feel comfortable.

Disinfection

If necessary, you should disinfect the dog kennel to prevent bacteria and mold. Use special disinfectants that are safe for animals.

Ventilation

Ensure that the dog kennel is well ventilated to prevent moisture and the formation of mold. Some models already have integrated ventilation slits or grilles.

Dog kennel floor care

If the dog kennel is placed on a natural surface, make sure that it is not soiled by garbage or urine. In the event of soiling, you should clean the affected area thoroughly.

Conclusion

The care and maintenance of the dog kennel should be an integral part of your pet's routine. Regular cleaning and disinfection will keep the dog kennel a safe and healthy place for your four-legged friend.
