Best Dog Kennels

This traditional style wooden kennel is made from solid fir wood and cedar stained for both extra durability and aesthetic appeal. It is also pest-resistant and termite-resistant, making it an excellent choice for year round outdoor use.

The weatherproof, UV resistant asphalt roof also makes it safe to leave outdoors in any weather and the apex design means that rain will drain straight off. The plastic curtain at the front also prevents rain from entering the inside of the kennel, and this curtain is also removable to allow airflow in warm weather.

The raised, rubber feet keep the base off the ground as well so there's no need to worry about the wood on the bottom soaking up water or rotting. Available in 4 sizes and easy to assemble, this is a great option for any breed of dog.

If you picture a dog kennel in your head, this is likely the image your brain creates. We love the traditional design and think it would look great in any outdoor space. It performs really well too and its weather proof properties mean that it'll hold up against the elements all year round. We also really like the extra thought that has gone into the removable curtain, allowing airflow and making it easier to clean.

This kennel is best for anyone looking for a traditional design that is also very hard wearing. It's also ideal for any dog owner who needs year-round outdoor use from their kennel as it is entirely weatherproof.

This is the perfect dog kennel for anyone looking for a way to keep their dog cool during the summer months. The soft-top design makes it really easy to assemble while ensuring comfort for your pet. It's also weather resistant and dries quickly, so should there be a sudden shower there's no need to worry about it getting damaged.

The frame is constructed from powder coated steel which offers sturdiness and durability, and the fact they simply slot together really does make it easy to assemble.

Another great thing about the canvas design is that it promotes airflow. This doesn't only keep your dog cool while they snooze in their shelter, but means that bacteria aren't able to build up easily - making it easy to clean and keeping it smelling fresher for longer.

There can be some concern around the prospect of a canvas kennel. Is it going to be comfortable? Will it be hard wearing? The answer to both of these questions when looking at this canvas kennel is "Yes". This is a really sturdy kennel and the thick canvas gives great peace of mind over both durability and comfort. We also like that the feet are raised from the ground which doesn't only promote airflow, but keeps the canvas clean.

This is a pretty basic design that really has more of a crate feel to it than a kennel. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, though. Being able to move it around with such ease gives it both indoor and outdoor use, although we wouldn't recommend leaving it out all year round.

Consisting of two areas, both of which are covered, your dog can enjoy some quiet time in the shade in the main part of the kennel. And, when they want to feel the breeze blowing around them, they can move into the decking area complete with decorative fence.

Ventilation is assured at all times as this kennel is elevated from the ground, which also prevents it from sitting in rain water. Its size makes it perfect for large dogs but we're certain that smaller dogs would also love lounging in their own private space.

We also liked that the cover doesn't have to be a permanent fixture and can be removed when needed, which means that wind and rain won't tear through it when it isn't in use.

What do our experts say about the Wagtime Plastic Kennel?

The first, and most important, thing to note about this is that it really is more of a dog crate than a kennel. We like that the ABS plastic construction make it feel comfortable, safe, and secure for your dog, and the single door design makes it easy to access your pup. But, it isn't a permanent solution for year round use, certainly not outdoors at least. It is also only available in two fairly small sizes, so if you have a large dog you'll need to look at our recommendations of larger kennels.

This is brilliantly designed and one of the best dog kennels we found for year round outdoor use. The innovative extendable size helps ensure your dog has enough space to relax while the super durable materials really do stand up against anything mother nature can throw at them.
