Though there are many people who ensure that their pets stay within their own homes; there are some pet owners who are particular that a dog should stay only in a kennel. Keeping a dog in a kennel requires a couple of precautions that must be taken both for the dog and the upkeep of the kennel as well. Apart from the material that is used to build a kennel, one should also think about the location of this dwelling place and whether it would be suitable for the canine in every possible way.

Is Ventilation In A Kennel Important?
You might think that your dog can stay in a cooped-up sort of a place; well, maybe he can – but not for a very long time. If the kennel that you have made for your little pet does not have the right kind of ventilation, the dog will want to keep coming out of it all the time. The other point about a kennel is the kind of lighting that there is inside it. Since it is such a small space that an animal is confined to, it is necessary to ensure that there is some sort of light in it. This is why ventilation can make a difference in the lighting of the kennel.

Think About What Your Dog Will Lie On
There are many dogs (The Hunting Dog) who love lying on a straw mat and do not want anything soft; there are some others who would want to lie on something that is quite soft. In both cases, the texture of the bed depends on what the dog has been used to since it was a puppy. In many houses and kennels, pet owners have insisted on having beds and mattresses, specially made for their pets. These have cotton that is soft and does not harm the canine in any way. In fact, there are some owners who have pillows as well, as they believe that their pets are entitled to things just in the same way that they are.
Think about ventilation and the material which is used in a kennel – make sure that it has not toxic material in it that will harm your pet in any way. Please ask a proper carpenter to ensure that the edges are rough and are not going to tear your pet’s skin or hair. This will help you have a happy pet always.
