What Should I Look for in a Dog Kennel for Australian Shepherds?
Durability and Quality Construction
One of the most important qualities to look for in a dog kennel for Australian Shepherds is durability in the construction of the kennel. Some kennels are made with cheap materials and can break or be broken out easily. Be sure that the kennel you invest in has sturdy features, like chain link fencing on the run, strong decking on the flooring, secure latches, and other features that will help to keep your dog secure in the kennel. The last thing you want to have to worry about is your dog escaping the kennel.
Easy-to-Clean Features
Another important thing to look out for in a dog kennel for Australian Shepherds is features that are easy to clean and will not stain easily. Dog kennels are known for being dirty places with strong foul odors, but your dog kennel does not have to be like that. Consider installing different features in your kennel that will help you clean your kennel more easily and are stain-resistant. Flooring like polyurea in the interior of the kennel is durable and stain resistant and glass board on the walls will help keep your kennel clean and polished. Be sure to consider drains in the kennel for easier and more efficient wash-down.
Comfort and Safety
Your dogs deserve to be comfortable in their kennel, especially if they are in overnight or for long periods of time. Be sure to give them a comfortable mat to lay on, and invest in flooring that will be comfortable for your dog’s paws. Some flooring like fine gravel can get stuck in their paws, and concrete can be hard on their joints over time. Make sure the locks are secure and use chain link fencing or panels for the exterior run to ensure good visibility into the kennel.
Best Kennel Sizes for Australian Shepherds?
It can be difficult to know what the best size dog house/ dog kennel is for your Australian Shepherd. As a general rule, you should assume that your dog kennel should be twice the length of your pet and at least twice the width. Larger is safer; a cramped kennel will not make for a happy dog. The Dog Kennel Collection offers a variety of dog kennels in a variety of sizes. Check out our 8×12 residential kennels for one dog, or our 20×60 commercial kennels for 12 dogs. The options are endless.
