How Much do Dog Kennels Cost?
We here at the dog kennels guide want to bring you the best information on what you need to know when purchasing your dog a kennel. This article will discuss pricing as it relates to purchasing dog kennels.
Large dog kennels/runs – most large dog kennels and runs will cost around $200-$300. However in some situations, depending on the size, material, and kennel customization the cost may be upwards of $600. We recommend shopping around as we have seen some 10 feet by 10 feet kennels for $300 and some for as low as $100. While you will probably get higher quality material for the more expensive kennel, that may not be the best option for you and your dog (especially if you are unconcerned with your dog chewing through the kennel).
Medium Sized Kennels – This type of kennel will usually run from $50-$150. This may be a good option if you have a smaller dog as this type of kennel usually still gives the dog room to walk around.
Small Kennels/ Portable dog kennels – Portable dog kennels will usually cost around $30-$75. To get a quality kennel you will probably need to spend around $50.
Dog Houses – This type of kennel represents the small box like kennels that are customized to look more like a person’s home. For example a dog igloo or a dog cabin. The wooden dog houses run anywhere from $100-$400. When you are buying a dog house, you are paying for looks not size. The more accessorized and better looking the dog house, the more you will end up paying.
Plastic dog houses are usually less expensive than the wooden ones for obvious reasons. The plastic dog houses may be a better buy if you want a cute dog house at a more affordable price.
Luxury Dog Houses – It is probably best, that we clarify what we mean buy a luxury dog house. This type of dog house is huge. For example a luxury dog house might be a replica of your own house (but a smaller version). The idea is to provide the dog his own home that looks like your home, but it isn’t. This type of house requires you to talk with a contractor and they will usually give you an estimate of the price. Just to give you an idea, you are probably looking at around $7,000 at least.
