A: A dog kennel with an apex roof is a highly popular and practical choice for any pet owner. This design is not only a classic but also offers superior weather protection and enhanced drainage, as the sloping sides effectively shed rainwater and snow, preventing any water from pooling. This ensures your dog’s space remains dry and comfortable. The roof's unique shape also promotes natural ventilation, allowing warm air to rise and escape, which helps to maintain a cooler, more comfortable temperature inside the kennel. Ultimately, a classic dog kennel design with an apex roof provides a durable, weatherproof, and well-ventilated home for your dog, all while adding a timeless aesthetic to your garden.

A: While our kennels are pressure-treated for durability, we recommend an annual treatment with a pet-safe wood preservative to maintain their condition and prolong their lifespan. Regularly cleaning the interior and ensuring the kennel is well-ventilated will also help keep your dog's home healthy and hygienic.

A: Yes, all of our kennels come with a standard insulated, raised floor. The floor is insulated with 50mm of polystyrene between the bearers to create a warm, dry environment for your dog. For additional insulation, a 50mm thick insulation pack and an anti-chew pack for the walls can be purchased as an optional extra. The anti-chew pack consists of 50mm polystyrene and a 2mm PVC finish, which helps to create an "extreme anti-chew finish" and keep the kennel warmer in winter and cooler in summer. For our most thermally efficient options, please see our dedicated Deluxe Thermal Kennel range on our website.

A: A pop-hole is the cutout in the partition wall that allows your dog to move between the run and the sleeping area. Our standard pop-hole size on all kennels is 62cm (H) x 35cm (W). This size can be made smaller or larger upon request. To help discourage chewing, our pop-holes come with a free anti-chew pack around the edges, which is just one of the reasons we offer some of the best premium kennels in the UK.
