Dogs, just like people, benefit greatly from a good night’s sleep. It helps to keep them healthy, alert and stress free. Of course the quality of the bed itself is important and if you are willing to spend the money then a memory foam dog bed will give considerable comfort to your pet.
However, it is not only the bed that is important, where it is situated is also vital. Somewhere that is relatively peaceful and free from drafts is ideal and many people opt to buy a plastic dog kennel to help achieve this. The kennel ensures that no drafts can get to your dog, even if the actual position is drafty.
Before dogs became domesticated, when they ran wild, they lived in packs and slept in dens. The dens made them feel secure because the dogs knew that, even while they slept, nothing could creep up and attack them. With only once entrance they could take turns in guarding the den, keeping the whole pack safe. Plastic kennels help to recreate this environment and so ensure that your dog feels safe while he sleeps.
Plastic dog kennels also have several important advantages over other types of kennel. Firstly, they are very light and so can be easily moved around your house as and when you have the need. They are also easily cleaned and don’t retain that doggy smell which wooden kennels can sometimes start to have. Being easy to mass produce they are also the cheapest type of dog home on the market and come in every size, shape and colour.
Of course not all kennels are for use just within the home. If you need to transport your dog somewhere then one with a mesh door to prevent escape is perfect. For maximum transporting potential you should consider a Vari Kennel as these are airline approved and so you can even take your dog on board a plane, as well as in your car.
Some people may say why on earth would you want a ‘plastic dog kennel’ when you can have a much classier wooden kennel but you should point out that wooden kennels need annual wood treatment to stop them rotting, are much more difficult to clean and are way too heavy to move around with any ease. So, if you want to give your beloved pet the best night’s sleep he’s ever had then install one of these dog houses in your home or garden. He will appreciate the warmth, comfort and security that it provides.
