Kennels not only serve to provide a confined space for your pet to move about and have the much needed exercise, but with portable ones you can take them along wherever you go or to places like dog shows or sporting events. Even bigger dogs can be taken along in custom made portable kennels to fit the size of your dog. These large and portable dog kennels can be put on the back of a pickup truck for the trip.

How to choose a portable kennel

The most important consideration is that a kennel should provide comfort to your pet at all times. The size of the kennel should be just right for the size of your dog with enough space for your pet to stand, lie down, to roll a bit or to just sit down.

In case you are taking your dog in an airplane, then the kennel should confirm to airline specifications. It is better that the kennel is as light as possible to avoid being charged for the extra weight.

Today commercially available portable kennels come in all types, shapes and sizes from which you can choose one to fit your dog. Portable dog kennels are very easy to install and to dismantle. You can opt for a ‘screw-in’ type which is very easy to set up and provides a large space where the dog can wait before attending a dog show or other events.

Kennel fences are also very convenient and easy to set up. These kennel fences have steel frames to which wire mesh walls are fastened to and can be put up in just 30 minutes with the help of screwdrivers and pliers. Though these portable dog kennels are light in weight, once installed they form a sturdy structure that is sufficient to hold even the most energetic dogs.
