To understand the difference between the different types of kennels, let’s look at the two main types: Self assembled or “kit” kennels and “modular” kennels.

Most chain link dog kennels fall into the kit category. In the past several years, the chain link kennel manufacturers have begun to offer modular panels. Chain link is a soft metal that many dogs can actually chew their way through! Modular dog kennels have many advantages to dog owners as all the walls, gate panels, doors are prefabricated. This makes the kennel very easy to move if needed or expanded if you acquire a second or third dog.

Modular dog kennels come in many different types and strengths. The gauge number of the kennel wire is an indication as to the kennels ability to contain larger and more aggressive breed of dogs. An 8 gauge kennel is much stronger than a 11 gauge kennel, so keep this in mind when purchasing. Options Plus manufactures a wide range of dog kennels from portable kennels to commercial grade for large or aggressive breeds of dogs.

With a portable kennel, dogs can be brought anywhere without having to put them on leash.

Traveling in a Kennel

Dog 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.

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, Boxer and German Shepherds need more space than smaller dogs. If you are bringing your dog for a plane ride, the kennel must be in the right size acceptable to airline guidelines. 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 want to lug around enormous pre-constructed kennels.

The parts may be portable but when assembled, they form a sturdy and strong kennel that can handle even the most hyper-active dogs.
