Types of Dog Kennels

There are two major types of dog kennels: indoor and outdoor kennels.

Outdoor Dog Kennels

An outdoor dog kennel benefits your dog’s adventurous and active nature.

• The open-air setting allows the dog to enjoy the natural sun, breathe fresh air, and experience freedom.

• An outdoor dog kennel is ideal for energetic dog breeds, such as the German Shepherd, Australian Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Juck Rusell Terrier, Border Collie, Pointer, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and more. If your dog is of these breeds, an outdoor dog kennel will let it indulge in physical activities, such as playing, running, stretching, and exploring, to promote their overall well-being.

• Pet owners with ample pet yards will find these kennels suitable for preventing dogs from wandering yet still enjoying the outdoor space. Plus, it helps to keep the indoor environment clean and minimise accidents.

At vidaXL, we take pride in providing our customers in the UK with outside dog kennels that meet the highest quality standards. We have designed them to meet pet owners’ expectations, considering factors like safety regulations, weather patterns, and the varying needs of different dog breeds.

Dog Kennel and Run

As the name suggests, a dog kennel and run is an outside kennel type with two sections.

• A kennel - a small insulated enclosure to shield your dog from weather elements, allowing him to unwind, sleep, and feel safe.

• A run – A larger fenced-in section with ample space for the dog to play and exercise.

Dog kennels and runs are available in different styles and sizes tailored for different budgets and needs. Most are made of wood, a roof, and a door that you can close to keep the pet safe. Others have an open entrance for ventilation.

Why is a Kennel and Run Important?

This structure is an all-in-one option for pet parents looking to optimise their space while enhancing the dog’s well-being. The play area lets dogs release excess energy and avoid boredom-related behaviours.

Separating the rest and play areas also helps to maintain a hygienic space, giving your four legged friend a comfortable and secure space.

Whether your dog is laid-back or playful, vidaXL’s kennels and runs provide versatility, letting you create a space that suits your dog’s character and needs.

Indoor Dog Kennels

These kennel types easily blend into your home surrounding, providing a comfortable retreat for your dog without disappointing style. At vidaXL, we offer indoor kennels that enhance comfort, giving your pet a secure space while enhancing your living space’s aesthetics.

Whether you place these kennels in the living room corner or integrate them into the furniture, they will merge with your home décor while enhancing your dog’s health.

Wooden Dog Crates

If you want to blend functionality with aesthetics, you can achieve it with our wooden dog crates. The crates are stylish furniture pieces and cosy retreats designed with durability and elegance.

Tanalised timber produces warmth that provides a welcoming atmosphere and sturdy build for a safe space for your four legged friend.

Crates are essential for nervous or anxious dogs or those not used to crate training. The crates make such pets feel comfortable and secure.

Wooden dog kennels also help minimise destructive behaviour when dogs are bored. A crate gives the dog a relaxed and safe haven to rest in your absence.

Ensuring Hygiene and Ventilation Indoors

Hygiene and ventilation are crucial for indoor dog kennels. At vidaXL, we design kennels with proper airflow to keep the space comfortable and fresh for your canine buddy.

Besides, easy-to-clean surfaces make maintenance a breeze, making indoor dog ownership an exciting endeavour.

Choosing the Right Dog Kennel

When looking for dog cages for sale, it’s essential to take the time and find the ideal kennel that suits your needs and those of your dog. At vidaXL, we have a variety of dog kennels. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a dog kennel.

Size and Dimensions

Choosing the correct size for your dog’s pen will enhance their well-being and comfort. A roomy kennel allows movement and eliminates the confinement most pet parents dread. Know your dog's breed and characteristics to decide on the right kennel size.

Overall, you want a large dog cage spacious enough for the dog to turn, stretch, and lie down. You can also place in dog toys to entertain your friend.

Outdoor vs. Indoor Use

Establish whether you will need an indoor or outdoor dog kennel. Outdoor kennels are necessary if you’re going on vacation and can’t take your pet with you, work long hours, can’t leave the dog alone indoors, or have a pup that likes spending time outside. Outdoor dog kennels in the UK should be weather-resistant and offer adequate protection from harsh elements.

On the other hand, indoor kennels are handy when you want to provide house training, prevent destructive behaviour, or manage separation anxiety. Go for indoor cages that blend with the home décor.

Material

A kennel’s material determines its longevity. Consider high quality materials that can withstand tear and wear, particularly for outdoor dog kennels susceptible to the sun, rain, wind, dust, and other conditions. It should have a solid roof.

This outdoor kennel from vidaXL has a polyethylene canopy that’s UV-protected and fire-resistant. This roof offers long term protection from rain, sun, snow, and other elements. Besides, opt for durable materials that you can easily clean or maintain.

Design and Aesthetic Appeal

A properly designed kennel helps keep your pet safe and decorate the space. Go for a design that will complement your outdoor or indoor space but also ensure it addresses the dog’s need for ventilation, accessibility, and visibility.

Colours

Colours are vital for dog pens because they can impact their mood and behaviour. Different colours affect dogs differently, so you should focus on colours that align with relaxation and calmness. For example, blue and pink are calming colours that can help reduce anxiety and stress in your dog.

Silver is another colour worth including in the kennel, creating a sense of serenity and calmness. It’s also airy and light, making a dog cage feel more open and spacious.

Furthermore, black is a good colour for the pen because it provides a clean, modern look and helps protect your pup from the sun. It can also hide stains and dirt better than light colours. Other popular colours are grey and brown. At vidaXL, you can find dog kennels with all these colours.

Safety Features

Dog kennels should have safety features whether you intend to place them inside the house or outside. For example, a mesh side wall prevents the pooch from escaping, and a lockable latch system adds a layer of security for your canine buddy.

Simplified Assembly and Maintenance

At vidaXL, we value convenience as a need for most pet owners. That’s why our dog kennels are easy to assemble. You won’t need complicated tools or seek professional help. The dog cages for sale have simple designs, and our assembly guides allow anyone to set up the dog pen quickly.

Maintenance Tips for Durability

To enhance your dog kennel’s longevity and offer your pet a homely space, implement these maintenance tips:

• Tighten fasteners: Regularly inspect the pen for loose bolts, screws, or fasteners and tighten them to maintain the kennel’s structural integrity.

• Regular inspections: Always check the dog house for indications of wear and other potential hazards. Handle any issues promptly to prevent major problems later on.

• Weather protection: Apply weather-resistant treatments on metal or wooden parts, especially for your outside dog kennels. This application can protect the pen from elements, improving its longevity.

• Clean the surrounding area: Ensure the area near the kennel is tidy to ensure dirty or overgrown bushes don’t affect the structure. Cleaning the property will also enhance hygiene and ventilation.

Kennel Cleaning Guidelines for Hygiene

High standards of hygiene are essential for your dog pen.

• Remove waste quickly: Always remove any waste from the dog cage. It reduces unpleasant odours and keeps unwanted pests away.

• Keep ventilators clean: Keep grates and any openings dirt-free to enhance air circulation and eliminate the risk of odours.

• Disinfection: Regularly disinfect the dog house if multiple dogs share it or your dog has recovered from an illness. Always use pet-safe disinfectants.

• Washable components: Does the kennel contain washable parts like cushions or removable trays? Clean those components with non-toxic, pet-friendly products.
