Dog kennels at a glance
Types of dog kennels in this collection
The range falls into five groups, listed from the largest. Each group suits a different space, so start with where the kennel will sit.
Dog crate furniture
Dog crate furniture looks like a cabinet or end table. It has doors and ventilated sides for a dog. Many pieces are wood with double doors or a sliding barn door. Some add drawers, a divider, wheels or pull-out bowls. A dog crate end table suits a living room or bedroom. It makes an indoor dog kennel that blends into the room.
Outdoor kennels and runs
Outdoor dog kennels give a dog room to move while staying contained. Welded steel or chain-link panels carry a roof or a waterproof, UV-resistant cover. Many have a secure lock and rotating bowls, and two-room models add a sheltered side. Pick a size that fits the yard spot you have in mind.
Dog houses
Dog houses give shelter and a spot to curl up. The range includes waterproof plastic houses with an elevated floor. It also holds a wooden dog house with a spruce frame and an openable roof. Wicker houses come with a canopy. Most suit small and medium dogs, so check the interior size first.
Soft crates
A soft dog crate is light, with mesh windows and several doors for easy access. A collapsible dog crate folds flat, so it fits a car trunk or a closet. Sizes run from S to XL. It works as a portable dog kennel for visits and trips with calm dogs.
Metal cages
Metal cages use a steel frame with a removable tray and lockable doors. A foldable heavy-duty cage on lockable casters moves easily between rooms. Choose metal when a dog needs a sturdier enclosure or a quick move between rooms. Browse more dog crates for extra sizes.
Check each product page for exact sizes and what is included.
How do you choose a dog kennel?
Measure your dog first
Measure from nose to tail base and from floor to shoulder. A dog should stand, turn and lie down inside. Add about 10 cm (4 in) to the nose-to-tail length for a crate.
Pick indoor or outdoor
Choose crate furniture or a metal cage for inside the home. Pick a covered run for the yard. A large dog kennel run suits big dogs that need room to move.
Check the roof and cover
Waterproof, UV-resistant covers shed rain and slow fading. Clear heavy snow off any roof. Bring dogs indoors in extreme cold, since a kennel is not a heated home.
Plan the footprint
Measure the spot in the yard and leave room for the door to swing. Use level, well-drained ground. Anchor the frame so it cannot shift in wind.
Look at the extras
A removable tray makes cleaning quick. Rotating bowls save steps at feeding time. Casters move a crate between rooms, and a secure lock keeps escape artists inside.
Where do dog kennels work best?
Backyards and patios suit the larger kennels and runs. A covered run gives a dog fresh air and shade while you garden or relax. Set it on level ground away from standing water. Pair it with dog bowls and a shaded rest spot for hot days.
Living rooms and bedrooms suit crate furniture. A wood crate acts as an end table, so the room still looks tidy. A dog gets a quiet corner, and you keep a useful surface. Browse more pet furniture to match the style.
Cars, cabins and visits suit soft crates and light cages. A collapsible crate folds flat for storage and unfolds in minutes. It gives an anxious dog a familiar space away from home. Always place it on a flat surface and keep it out of direct sun.
How do you set up and care for a dog kennel?
Set a kennel on level ground and anchor it so wind cannot move it. Add fresh water and a shaded rest spot. Wipe trays and covers every week, and wash cushions on the cycle shown on the product page. Check latches, locks and panel joints each month. Introduce a new crate slowly, with treats, so it feels safe.

Dog kennel FAQs
What size dog kennel do I need?
Choose a kennel that lets your dog stand, turn around and lie down. Measure from nose to tail base and add about 10 cm (4 in). Measure shoulder height too. Product pages list the interior size, so compare it to your dog before you order.
Can an outdoor dog kennel stay outside in winter?
A covered kennel on level, dry ground can stay outside, but it is not a heated home. Clear heavy snow off the roof and add dry bedding and wind shelter. In extreme cold, bring your dog indoors. Check the cover details on the product page.
What is the difference between a dog kennel and a dog crate?
A dog crate is a small enclosure for rest, training and travel, usually indoors. A dog kennel is a larger outdoor run or a house that gives more room. Many shoppers use crate furniture indoors and a covered run in the yard.
Is dog crate furniture a good choice for a small home?
Dog crate furniture suits a small home because it doubles as an end table or console. It keeps the dog's space tidy and out of the way. Measure the spot first, and check the door style and interior size on the product page.
Are soft crates good for travel?
Soft crates are light and fold flat, so they suit car trips, cabins and visits. They work best for calm dogs, since a chewer may damage the fabric. Choose a metal cage for dogs that chew, and check the size chart before you order.
