Portable Dog Kennels

Writen by Jason Gluckman

Traveling does not have to cause too much inconvenience for pet owners. With a portable kennel, dogs can be brought anywhere without having to put them on leash. You would not have to worry about leaving your dog inside the car or finding a good place to tie the dog up.

Traveling in a Kennel

Kennels are not just used to allow your dogs to move about and have their exercise in a confined, safe space. You can carry your dogs to sporting events or pet shows in kennels. Big dogs can be put in larger portable kennels you can put at the back of your pick up truck and he will be safe there for the trip.

Choosing a Portable Kennel

A kennel must always be comfortable for your pets. The size of the kennel is an essential consideration. Big dogs like Labradors and German Shepherds need more space than smaller dogs. Kennels must be tall enough to allow them to stand and wide enough to provide room for them to lay or sit in.

If you are bringing your dog for a plane ride, the kennel must be in the right size acceptable to airline guidelines. The unit must be as lightweight as possible; otherwise, you will pay more for the extra pounds.

There are several commercially-available kennels for you to choose from. You may even find units that come with screens to block the sun from the top.

Kennels can also be set up easily and deconstructed as fast. There are many different types, such as a "screw in" variety, that are convenient for dog owners who would want to give their dogs bigger spaces to wait in before a big pet event or show but would not wan to lug around enormous pre-constructed kennels.

Kennel fences can be put up in 30 minutes with a pair of pliers and screwdrivers. They usually have steel frames that the wire mesh walls are fastened to. The parts may be portable but when assembled, they form a sturdy and strong kennel that can handle even the most hyper-active dogs.
