Wooden Dog Kennel With Door from Pet Connection

This is the kennel molly has .


Available in the following sizes:

*Small: 60cm x 46cm x 46cm*

Medium: 76cm x 60cm x 60cm

Large: 100cm x 70cm x 76cmm

Extra Large: 120cm x 76cm x 82cm

This sturdy kennel will provide an attractive shelter  in any garden through out the seasons. The roof slightly slopes from front to back to allow water drainage and is covered with a green mineral felt. This is weather proofed with animal safe wood preservative to add durability.

We cut the door in half to make a stable door so Molly can come in and out through a smaller opening, conserving the heat inside the kennel. We have the small one as it's easy to heat.
