Man's best friend is no misnomer: loyalty, companionship, and trustworthiness are among the hallmarks of a good dog. While not everyone may be a "dog person," there's no denying that the human-canine relationship is one of the oldest symbiotic interactions on record, and one that requires nearly as much give and take as human friendship.
As such, pets should be treated with loving care and their basic needs should be met even if they are being cared for by breeders or rescue shelters.
All too often, State funded animal shelters are underequipped to handle the volume of pets they receive, which leads to confined spaces, unsanitary living conditions, and ultimately to killing healthy dogs simply because there is nowhere for them to stay. Likewise, animal boarding facilities can be unprepared for certain breeds like Huskies, Great Danes or Greyhounds, which require large quarters and ample exercise.
When it comes to housing an animal, even temporarily, there are a number of important considerations. How much interaction will the dog have with other animals? What kind of dog fences allow for maximum space while still protecting the animal's safety? What kind of dog kennel runs are appropriate for particular breeds?
Dog Kennel Runs are an excellent solution to such problems. These dog fences are easy to assemble and make for customizable, modular confined spaces with sufficient space for exercise, while still securely containing the animal. Dog kennel runs are frequently available in multiple heights, width gauges, and are equipped with other options to suit the breed and owner's or caretaker's requirements.
Typical dog kennels and runs are available in either four foot or six foot high fences. While four foot dog kennel runs may be sufficient for small breeds, they also are more susceptible to external factors such as weather and predators. It is highly recommended by most purveyors of dog supplies that six foot fences are employed for the maximum security for the animal.
The gauge of dog kennel runs refers to the width and strength of the wiring used to make the screen. The average gauge for most dog kennel runs is between 16 and 12, or .0625 inches and .1055 inches in diameter, though premium dog kennel runs are available in as thick as 8 gauge (.162 inches in diamater).
Dog kennel runs may be constructed with aluminum or steel. While aluminum is weather and rust resistant, it is significantly less durable than galvanized steel. Steel dog kennel runs which are galvanized after the parts have been welded provide the best resistance to corrosion.
Among the most popular dog kennel runs are prefabricated modular units, which come in pre-assembled panels. These structures require the least amount of user assembly while still providing sufficient options for customizable assembly. Many modular dog kennel runs come with optional roofing, providing extra protection against the elements. It is also very easy to expand the structure by simply ordering more panels and adding them to the preexisting fence.
While many people like to keep their dogs indoors, some breeds are especially suited to outdoor living, and actually benefit from the use of dog kennel runs as permanent homes. For other breeds, dog kennel runs provide comfortable and secure environments for temporary confinement which are far superior to other options available. It is of utmost importance to check both the requirements established by law and the recommendations of dog experts when assembling a kennel to be sure to adequately make provisions for the dog's well-being.
