Choosing a dog house
Measure your dog standing and lying stretched out. A kennel should let them turn round, stand with head up and lie flat, but not be so roomy that it loses body heat in winter. For a large outdoor dog kennel, choose an insulated dog kennel with a raised floor, a door offset from the wind and a lift-off roof for cleaning. Wooden dog kennels look traditional but are heavy and need re-treating; moulded plastic is lighter, dries fast and hoses down.
Indoors, a dog house bed gives a nervous dog a covered retreat in a busy room. If you want dog kennels and runs for daytime use, pair a kennel with a pen so there is shade, water and room to move. A kennel is shelter for part of the day, not a place to live full time.
Dog Kennels & Houses FAQs
What size dog house do I need?
Add roughly a quarter to your dog's length from nose to tail base for the interior, and make sure the door is at least shoulder height. Each product page lists internal dimensions.
Are plastic kennels warm enough for British winters?
Insulated double-wall kennels with a raised floor and a bed inside suit most dogs for daytime shelter. In hard frosts, thin-coated and older dogs should sleep indoors.
Can a dog kennel be used indoors?
Yes. Fabric dog houses and plastic kennels work well indoors, and many dogs prefer an enclosed bed over an open one.
