Best Places to Buy Dog Kennels
We here at The Dog Kennels Guide do not endorse one dog kennel shop over another. This guide will hopefully give you some places to begin your journey of buying a dog kennel. We will discuss metrics such as price, quality, and customer service.
While some people only look at price, we recommend looking at true value. Value is defined as price divided by quality. This basically means that if price is held the same and quality is increased, then you are receiving better value. You could have a very low priced item with high value, but you could also have a low priced item with low value.
Petco
Advantages: It is nice to be able to go and physically touch the dog kennels. In addition, you will be able to talk with a human being face-to-face.
Disadvantages: Selection is limited compared to online stores. Don’t expect any customization and you’ll most likely be purchasing something that looks close to a cardboard box.
Overall Assessment: Petco provides good value. If they didn’t, then they probably wouldn’t be one of the world’s large pet stores. We personally weren’t very impressed with their website (we typed in “dog kennels” and they showed us all sorts of random odds and ends). We had to spend a lot of time to actually find the dog kennels. If you are afraid of the Internet, this may be your best option for dog houses.
Dogkennelsandcrates.com (yes we realize this is a long name)
Advantages: Dogkennelsandcrates.com is an excellent online choice for buying dog kennels. They have a live chat feature which allows you to ask any questions you may have without having to go to the store or even pick up the phone. Customer service and quality are the name of the game at this store.
Disadvantages: Customer service and high quality materials come with a price. The price of the kennels at dogkennelsandcrates.com is above average.
Overall Assessment: If you are looking for a high quality home for your dog and lots of customer service than this is the place for you. If you are looking for a cheaper, Wal-Mart like experience than this option may not be for you.
