Dog Shelter Kennel Q and A

Do you have questions about our commercial dog kennels or about your working dogs? We did our best to answer your questions below. There might even be some information that you wouldn’t have thought about. We are here to equip you with all the information you need to properly outfit your kennel for working dogs!

As long as your kennel is a clean, safe, and comfortable home, housing your working dogs in an outdoor kennel can actually be good for them! Dogs enjoy the outdoors and fresh air and giving them a home where they can go out to an exterior run is an excellent way for them to do so safely. Although some would warn against housing your working dogs in an outdoor kennel, it’s perfectly fine for your pups to live in a kennel.

Kennels have recently gotten a bad reputation because of some of the horrible conditions that our furry friends have been found in. The Dog Kennel Collection is striving to change that narrative by designing deluxe commercial kennels for working dogs.

While it varies a lot on the breed of dog and the amount of work that your dog has put in, as a general rule, your dog should be fully retired from full-time work by the age of 10. Make sure you pay close attention to how your dog is performing in his everyday life and give him adequate rest so he doesn’t burn out early.

Kennels for working dogs are in fact good for your dogs! With an outdoor dog kennel, your dog will get the best of both worlds. The interior of the kennel provides a perfect environment to rest and get away from adverse weather conditions. In beautiful weather, your dogs can pop out of their doggy doors to the exterior runs to exercise and enjoy the fresh air. Another benefit of a commercial kennel is the 24/7 access to a bathroom. This way, your dog doesn’t have to deal with the discomfort of having to wait for you to let them outside to use the bathroom

Yes! Our commercial kennels are fully covered with a standard shingle roof. If you prefer a metal roof, upgrade to our classic metal roof or a standing seam metal roof.

We believe that as the base of your kennel, the floor should be made of top-quality materials. That’s why we’ve outfitted the interior of your commercial kennel for working dogs with our standard ⅝ Smartfloor Coated with Poly-Urea for a durable and watertight floor that’s easy to clean. Our floors are also insulated with R-13 spray foam insulation and you can even customize the floor to be equipped with radiant heat to keep your pups warm and comfortable during cold months.

We use composite decking for the exterior runs of our kennels for working dogs. This makes hosing down the runs easy. If you prefer a notch above this flooring, upgrade to poly-urea flooring for the exterior as well as the interior. You can also customize your dog kennel with a raised floor so you can use a wire run floor with a wash down underneath. This upgrade creates a cleaner kennel so your dogs stay healthy.

Although there’s no foolproof way to ensure constant canine health, certain measures can be taken to cut down the spread of diseases. Canine Infectious Tracheobronchitis, commonly referred to as Kennel Cough, tends to circulate easily among dogs, particularly in confined settings with numerous dogs. Our commercial kennels for working dogs offer generous space, facilitating individual distancing and minimizing disease transmission risks. Because Kennel Cough primarily spreads through airborne droplets, our tailor-made ventilation solutions play a crucial role in maintaining a safe kennel environment. Our custom options like fans and vents ensure continuous air circulation, delivering fresh air and reducing the likelihood of cross-infection between dogs.

It’s vital to conduct a thorough cleaning of your dog kennel before, during, and after introducing a new dog to your space. Dogs can be contagious even before displaying symptoms, making an extra cautious approach preferable. Our kennel flooring and fencing choices are designed for easy cleaning, simplifying your responsibilities in maintaining a clean and safe environment for your dogs.

Embarking on an endeavor like designing your own kennel for working dogs might seem quite daunting. However, The Dog Kennel Collection aims to ease your stress by offering you help along the way.
