Dog owners have many options for keeping their canine companions contained. While some choose to let them roam freely throughout the home, others crate them using indoor kennels or keep them in a fenced-in backyard. Yet, there’s another alternative to consider: outdoor dog kennels. Blending benefits from each of these different containment options, they’re the perfect solutions for dog-friendly homes. Here’s why. 

Why Install an Outdoor Dog Kennel? 

1. Space to Play

Many indoor kennels only provide enough space for a dog to lie down, stand up, and turn around comfortably. While many dogs need to be contained for their own protection, long periods of time in these crates can cause boredom and discomfort. Outdoor kennels offer containment but have the added benefit of outdoor stimuli, along with more space. Your pup’s kennel can be as large as you’d like it to be, ensuring they have plenty of room to run and play at their leisure.

2. Safe Containment

Most households are filled with potential pet hazards. Even if you’ve puppy-proofed your home, especially curious dogs will always find something to get into—whether it’s the couch cushions, remote control, or electrical wiring. Not only can the damage get costly, but it also puts your dog at risk of serious injury. Outdoor kennels keep your furry friend away from these potential hazards. Yet, they still offer the containment needed to prevent them from running away.  

3. A Pristine Yard

While you could allow your dog to roam free in your yard, this increases the odds that they’ll damage your property. Pet urine can discolor grass while digging habits can uproot the gardens you work hard to maintain. In kennels, pets get their own spaces to do as they please, and the rest of your lawn will remain immaculate.
