The most common is the traditional wire kennel. These kennels are typically made from welded wire and have a removable tray on the bottom for easy cleaning. They come in a variety of sizes and can be used for both indoor and outdoor dogs. Another popular type of kennel is plastic kennel.

A kennel is a structure or shelter for dogs. Used in the plural, the kennels, the term means any building, collection of buildings or a property in which dogs are housed, maintained, and (though not in all cases) bred.

Kennels are designed to provide shelter for your dog. Along with giving them access to plenty of fresh air and sunlight, kennels keep pets safe whenever they're outside, preventing them from running away and getting into trouble.

Pet kennels are designed to be temporary; they hold pets for a short amount of time. For instance, the vet and the groomer have kennels to hold pets for a few hours between their appointment slot and when they are picked up.
