Our complete line of high quality, glass and stainless dog kennels are designed to handle environments ranging from luxury pet boarding to animal control and everything in between.  We offer complete custom design solutions with a wide variety of choices in materials.

We use heavy duty 304, 16 gauge 1¼” square tube frames for all of our kennel doors (the lower the gauge the more heavy duty the material so 16 gauge is more heavy duty than 18 gauge). When it comes to kennel design, we know you cannot skimp on materials and construction. If you have a luxury kennel boarding business you need to consider all of the kennel manufacturers out there and become educated on their processes and look beyond their marketing.

Most of the pet boarding facilities we serve opt for our glass kennel door. It’s a very humane way to board a pet. The glass doors are made of ¼” clear tempered glass. Tempering is a process that hardens the glass up to 6 times over traditional glass, but at the same time makes the glass more brittle. Tempered glass, should it break, will crumble into safe chunks rather than sharp jagged pieces.

Glass doors are very easy to clean and keep dogs from feeling like they are in doggy jail. We offer obscured glass applications as well, wherein we use clear glass on the upper door and obscured glass on the lower door, giving the dog less to bark at and allowing them privacy during their rest times.

Our animal control customers prefer the rod doors (our rod door is a grill type of design with ¼” on ¼” stainless steel rod, welded at every other intersection) We’ve seen more and more that architects who design animal shelters and animal control facilities are specifying glass doors, which we prefer to use in those environments as well for a variety of reasons. Glass doors keep down the spread of disease by creating a better barrier than rod doors, they are more humane, especially for animal control environments where the dogs may not get as much time outside their dog run and they take less time to clean than the rod doors, i.e. cleaning all of the intersections of the rods.   

Every single kennel manufacturer states their dog kennels are high quality, but when you know what their kennels are made of and how they are constructed you can make an informed decision. At the end of the day, we all believe we make top quality dog kennels, it’s up to our customers to decide which kennel manufacturer is right for them.
