All About Dog Kennels

Are you among the ones who are looking for a home for your devoted and faithful canine friend in the period that you are absent from your own home, but have been unsuccessful so far? Fret not, as more and more people actually believe in the age old saying that a dog is a man's best friend, have tried their best to provide the best homes or shelters for dogs away from home, i.e. in the absence of their owners. A dog has been known to even lay down its life for its owner, thanks to its faithfulness as well as loyalty for its owner. It is we human beings, who fail to give back in return for its loyalty and love. In the absence of the actual or original home of a dog, a kennel serves the purpose.

A dog kennel is a shelter or a structure designed especially for dogs. It is a place where a dog can be kept. Americans call this as a doghouse, whereas the British call it a kennel. dog kennels are any building or a collection of buildings or a property or a structure in which dogs of any and every form are bred, housed as well as maintained. A kennel is a formal establishment for breeding of pure bred dogs, irrespective of being actually housed in a different shed, a garage, a state- of- the- art establishment or amidst a family. In fact, breeding kennels abide by the laws and regulations lay out by the Kennel Club of the particular country and have to adopt the breed club rules, of the kennel council or club and other legislation connected with it.

The term 'kennel' comes from the first part of the name registered of a pedigreed dog that was bred there.

Boarding kennels are places in which dogs are housed for a period of time on being paid a fee for it as an alternative for making use of a pet sitter.

Of course, it is no doubt that dog kennels can give a lot of attention as well as care for a dog in its owner's absence; however missing its owner is bound to trouble the dog, considering its attachment, faithfulness and loyalty. It is the same as a baby or a child missing its parents in their absence.

Being in a crowded as well as unfamiliar environment as a whole makes a dog go through a lot of stress no doubt, but attempts are being genuinely made by dog kennels for decreasing their stress levels by offering facilities such as making a dog play separately so they can get away from the environment of the dog kennel. Another piece of good news for dog owners is that many dog kennels also have the option of allowing dogs to carry familiar items such as blankets as well as toys from home to the dog kennels.
