Whether to buy a big kennel or a small kennel depends on the size of the dog. The size of the kennel should cover the length of the puppy, so that the puppy can stretch and sleep more comfortably.
Choosing a kennel is like choosing a bed. If there is enough space, of course, the bigger the better the more comfortable! Generally speaking, the size of a kennel is two or three times larger than that of its owner.
Small dogs are advised to buy semi-enclosed kennels, because small dogs are small in size, have different perspectives and feelings of space from humans, and lack security. A closed space helps dogs sleep deeply.
Large and medium-sized dogs have a large amount of heat dissipation, so it is recommended to have a dog bed with a certain distance from the ground, which has good heat dissipation and will not be damp, which will avoid the dog's skin disease.
What material is better for choosing a kennel? When choosing a kennel, you should pay attention to comfort and warmth. First of all, pay attention to the fabric of the kennel.
The fabrics of most kennels in the market are mainly cotton, acrylic and flannel, and the fillers are mainly sponge, cotton and PP cotton.
Of course, if you want to choose, pure cotton fabric is definitely the first choice. First, it is not easy to generate static electricity because the sensitivity of animal organs is much higher than that of human beings, so try to avoid some irritating things. Then pure cotton is healthier and less likely to produce harmful substances.
Followed by flannel, which is also very warm and comfortable; Acrylic fabric is the least recommended. Acrylic is relatively cheap because of its low cost, but dog hair is easy to knot when it comes into contact with acrylic. The filler is preferably PP cotton, which has good warmth retention and fast drying;
Thirdly, choose pure cotton to keep warm and hygienic, but the kennel will inevitably get some urine or something, which is not easy to dry and easy to rot; Finally, sponges are soft, warm and the cheapest.
