The traditional Spike Premium Classic Dog Kennel is made from wood sourced from environmentally friendly forestry and offers your dog everything it needs from a kennel: The natural pinewood used to make this Spike Premium Classic Dog Kennel has been treated with a protective solution, designed to full soak into the wood and preserve it, reducing the risk of damage due to weather. It is the dark colour of this protective solution that gives the wood its teak colouring. The Spike Premium Classic Dog Kennel features a pitched roof with felting, also helping with protection against the weather. Plastic covers on the feet help to prevent the kennel from soaking up too much moisture from the ground. There are also integrated height-adjustable screw caps on the feet that make it easy to ensure the kennel is level and help improve ventilation inside the kennel. This fabulous kennel offers optimum protection for your dog from cold floors and damp. There is also a roof overhang around the entirety of the kennel, which adds additional protection to the outside of the kennel and to its entrance. The Spike Premium Classic Dog Kennel is easy to clean, with pre-assembled side and roof panels that can be simply assembled using just a few screws. All you need to create your dog’s new home is an Allen key. Please note: Your dog kennel should not be so big that your dog can’t keep the inside warm with its own body heat. If the kennel is too large, your dog risks freezing. Tip: Lay an insulating blanket on the floor of the kennel to make your dog feel comfortable.

Important: When selecting a kennel, please note that the total dimensions take into account the outer dimensions of the dog kennel, which means the ground space that it will take up.

The measurements given for length and width include an allowance for the overhanging roof that extends beyond the walls of the kennel. Please note: This product has been given a harmless water-based wood protection treatment. This lacquer offers initial protection against weathering, but it is important that wooden products are cleaned and treated regularly to prevent the wood from drying out, becoming brittle or warping into an unsightly shape. We recommend cleaning the kennel regularly and applying a coat of wood preserving product if the kennel is to be left outside. Please make sure that you use non-toxic products that are not harmful to animals. To make sure your kennel stays looking good, it is a good idea to position it in a protected are that is not exposed to the elements.
