Decorative Dog Kennel

Portability

The next thing you need to consider is a kennel's portability. If you want to give your dog a permanent home, one that isn't portable, then you can go for the largest that you can find. As for the material, the heavier and sturdier it is, the better. More portable crates, on the other hand, are easier to move between homes. They can be taken with you during your camping trips. Just make sure that the portable crate you get is one that can hold your dog's weight as you'll be carrying it.

Ventilation

Dog kennels offer plenty of ventilation. However, for a portable unit, it must at least be partly mesh so your dog can breathe and feel cool while it's inside the crate. Consider all these aspects as they are important for your dog's happiness and well-being in its new home. Now that you know what to look for in decorative dog kennels, it is time for you to check out our top picks!
