What's the difference between a dog kennel and a dog crate?

A kennel usually refers to a house or shelter, which can be an outdoor wooden dog house or a sturdy indoor cage, giving your dog a defined home. A crate tends to be a folding indoor enclosure used for training, travel and giving a dog a den. This range includes both outdoor kennels and indoor cage-style kennels, so you can pick based on where your dog will spend their time.

Can the wooden kennels stay outside all year?

Yes, the outdoor wooden kennels are made for that, using treated timber and weatherproof roofing to keep the rain out. Through winter, adding dry bedding such as straw and placing the kennel out of the wind makes a real difference to how warm your dog stays. A spot with some natural shelter, against a wall or fence, is ideal for keeping it protected.

What size kennel does my dog need?

Your dog should be able to stand, turn around and lie down comfortably inside. Measure your dog and compare that against the dimensions on the product page. The XS wooden kennel suits small breeds, while the larger indoor and metal cage kennels work for medium and large dogs. Allowing a little extra room means your dog can settle and move about easily.

Are there kennels suitable for indoor use?

There are. The wooden and wire kennel with magnetic doors and the furniture-style end table kennel are designed to look at home in a living space, while the metal cage kennel offers a more practical indoor option that's easy to clean. Indoor kennels give your dog a calm retreat within the house, which many dogs come to use by choice.

Does the outdoor kennel come with useful features?

Some do. One of the outdoor houses has a canopy top for shade, a secure lock to keep your dog safe, and a rotating bowl holder so you can feed without opening the whole kennel. Features like these make an outdoor kennel more practical for everyday use. Each product page lists what a particular model includes.

Can I move the kennels around?

The metal cage kennel comes with wheels, so it can be repositioned indoors or rolled to where you need it. The wooden outdoor houses and furniture kennels are more of a fixed spot, so it's best to choose their location before setting them up. For outdoor use, a sheltered, level position works best.

Are the kennels easy to assemble?

Most arrive flat-packed with the fittings and instructions included, and assembly is generally manageable with basic tools. The wooden outdoor kennels take a little longer to build than the indoor options, and a second pair of hands helps with the larger ones. None of them are complicated, and the steps are clearly set out.

How much is delivery and what's the returns policy?

A kennel gives your dog a place to call their own, whether that's a weatherproof house in the garden or a cosy den indoors. This range covers both. For outdoors, there are wooden dog houses built to handle British weather, including a compact 82cm shelter and a design with a canopy top, a secure lock and a rotating bowl holder so feeding is simple.

There's also an XS wooden kennel for smaller dogs at 64.5 x 57 x 66cm, ideal for a sheltered spot on the patio. Indoors, the choices lean towards style and practicality. A wooden and wire kennel with magnetic doors suits medium dogs and looks smart in a living space, while a furniture-style end table kennel with two doors and a soft cushion doubles as a useful surface. If you want something sturdier, there's a large metal cage kennel with a locking door and wheels, so you can move it where you need it.

Outdoor kennels and dog houses

For a dog that spends time in the garden, an outdoor wooden kennel keeps them dry and sheltered. The models here use treated timber and weatherproof roofing to cope with rain, and features like a canopy and a rotating bowl holder make them more practical day to day. Raised or elevated designs help by keeping the floor off cold, damp ground. Position the kennel out of the wind and add some dry bedding through winter to keep your dog warm.

Indoor kennels and cages

Indoors, a kennel gives your dog a settled spot away from the bustle of the house. The wooden and wire kennel with magnetic doors looks tidy in a living room, while the furniture-style kennel doubles as an end table with a soft cushion below. For a more robust option, the metal cage kennel with wheels can be moved around and offers a secure, easy-clean space, which suits larger or more boisterous dogs.

Matching the kennel to your dog

Size is the main thing to get right, so measure your dog and check the dimensions before buying. The XS wooden kennel suits small breeds, while the larger indoor and metal options work for medium and large dogs. Think about where the kennel will go too, as an outdoor house needs a sheltered spot and an indoor kennel needs enough floor space in the room.

Delivery and returns

Delivery is free to the UK mainland, with dispatch in 3 to 5 working days and no hidden fees. If you change your mind or order the wrong item, returns are welcome, though the return postage cost would be yours to cover in those cases.
