As pet owners, we strive to find a kennel that meets the needs of our dogs, ensuring they feel content and protected in their new abode. Wooden dog kennels are a popular choice, combining both functionality and aesthetic appeal, making your garden space look inviting for both you and your furry friend.
Wooden dog houses offer numerous benefits, such as being a natural insulator, keeping our dogs warm in winter and cool in summer. These kennels also blend seamlessly into various garden designs, offering a touch of sophistication and style to any outdoor space. But choosing the right wooden kennel for your dog requires careful consideration, as factors like the type of wood, size, construction, and durability will ultimately impact the comfort of your pet and the kennel's longevity.
When searching for the perfect wooden dog kennel, it is essential to consider your dog's size, temperament, and the local climate. The type of wood used should be non-toxic and sturdy enough to withstand harsh weather conditions, while also providing enough insulation for temperature control. The kennel's size is equally important, as it should be spacious enough for your dog to move around comfortably, yet snug enough to make them feel safe and secure. Additionally, the kennel's construction should be well-built, ensuring its longevity, while allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance.
We understand the importance of finding the right wooden dog kennel for your pet, so we have diligently researched, tested, and reviewed various kennels on the market to identify the best options suited for your dog's unique requirements. Read on as we guide you through the top wooden dog kennels available, designed to maximise comfort and elevate your garden's aesthetic appeal, ultimately creating a harmonious living environment for you and your canine companion.

1. Wooden Dog Kennel Elevated Dog Pet House
Our experience with the PawHut Wooden Dog Kennel suggests that it is suitable for those who prefer a rustic, log cabin style dog house with mixed quality and durability.
Upon setting up our PawHut Wooden Dog Kennel, we were instantly drawn to its classic log cabin style that added a rustic touch to our garden. The solid fir wood construction, coated with a premium sealant, initially seemed promising in terms of durability and comfort for our furry friend.
While the roof of this kennel is covered in composite shingles to protect against adverse weather such as rain, snow, sun, and wind, we had some concerns about its ability to withstand long-term exposure. After some use, we felt compelled to apply silicone in specific areas and use extra screws to improve the overall weatherproofing of the structure.
Despite the raised platform design intended to keep moisture and other animals away, the flimsy base of this outdoor kennel required reinforcement to ensure stability and prevent our dog from falling through. However, after addressing these issues, our furry companion found the PawHut Wooden Dog Kennel to be cosy and enjoyable.
Features
Pros
- Charming log cabin design
- Solid wood construction
- Protects from various weather conditions
Cons
- Screws and assembly could be better
- Questionable weatherproofing

Updated 35 minutes ago2. FeelGoodUK Medium Wooden Dog Kennel
If you're seeking a comfortable, functional, and durable wooden dog kennel for your furry friend, the FeelGoodUK Medium Wooden Dog Kennel is the perfect choice.
We've recently experienced the true value of the FeelGoodUK Medium Wooden Dog Kennel. What really appeals to us is its solid wood frame and easy-to-clean tongue and groove panels. We also appreciate the raised bedding area that guards our dog against dampness and cold.
Another impressive feature is the lift-up roof, which makes cleaning a hassle-free process. Moreover, the removable wooden slatted floor and plastic covering allow for thorough deep cleaning when required. We must admit that the adjustable feet come in handy not only for uneven surfaces but also for protecting the wooden legs from wear and tear.
The high-quality wooden panels provide extra protection on cold nights, and the covered front door helps keep wind and rain at bay. We also noticed a significant reduction in bug and insect infestation, thanks to the kennel being raised off the ground. Overall, the FeelGoodUK Medium Wooden Dog Kennel is an outstanding and practical investment for medium-sized dog owners.
Features
Pros
- Quality materials and construction
- Functional design for easy cleaning
- Provides extra protection against the elements

Updated 35 minutes ago3. Wooden Dog Kennel with Water Bowls
We recommend this kennel for those seeking a functional and furniture-friendly option for their furry friend.
Having recently tried the Confidence Pet Wooden Dog Kennel with Water Bowls, we were impressed with the furniture-friendly wood used in its construction. The carefully sanded edges give it a polished look, making it a pleasant addition to any yard or patio.
One standout feature is the side yard, complete with two stainless steel food/water bowls, and a small lockable chest for storing toys or tools. This thoughtful addition adds convenience to your pet's outdoor experience.
Our only gripe is the warping we encountered on the roof panels, which made assembly slightly tedious. That said, the kennel sits 4 inches off the ground, helping to regulate the temperature and keep your dog's sleeping area dry. If your dog isn't too large, this kennel provides a comfortable space for them to rest and play outdoors.
Features
Pros
- Smooth
- furniture-friendly wood
- Integrated side yard with food bowls
- Elevated 4 inches off the ground
Cons
- Roof panels had some warping issues
- Assembly could be challenging
- Small internal space for larger dogs

Updated 35 minutes ago4. Excellence Wooden Dog Kennel
We highly recommend this wooden dog kennel for its attractive design, sturdy construction, and weather-resistant features.
Upon setting up the eCommerce Excellence Wooden Dog Kennel, we noticed its solid construction, made from lacquered wood, and its waterproof roof. The sanded asphalt roof paper ensures the kennel remains protected against harsh weather conditions all year round. This definitely stands out as a main selling point for us.
The wide roof overhang does an excellent job of shielding the entrance from rain, and the rubber soles on the kennel's feet not only protect it from moisture but also enhance airflow. Our fur babies have found this kennel comfortable and safe, making it a splendid addition to our garden.
Assembling the kennel was a breeze, and we appreciated the clear instructions provided. However, we must caution potential buyers that this wooden kennel might need maintenance over time for wood preservation, and the sizing options could be limiting for families with very large dog breeds. Other than that, the eCommerce Excellence Wooden Dog Kennel is a fantastic investment for any dog owner.
Features
Pros
- Appealing and robust design
- Weatherproof and winterproof
- Easy and straightforward assembly
Cons
- May require maintenance for wood preservation
- Limited sizing options

Updated 35 minutes ago5. Feel Good Wooden Dog Kennel
We highly recommend the Feel Good Wooden Dog Kennel for those looking to provide comfortable and secure lodging for their small breed puppies.
Having used the Feel Good Wooden Dog Kennel, we found it perfect for housing our small breed puppies. The tongue and groove panels set in a solid wood frame not only appeared stylish, but also ensured warmth and shelter during frosty nights. Moreover, the roof's lift-up feature with its locking hinge made cleaning a breeze, while the adjustable feet made it usable on uneven ground.
Our dogs loved the raised bedding area. This thoughtful design choice kept the puppies away from cold floors and damp during winter months. The covered front door aided in keeping wind and rain from entering the kennel – a factor that further enhanced our puppies' comfort. Pests and predators were also kept at bay, thanks to the raised main area.
Although the Feel Good Wooden Dog Kennel has numerous admirable features, it has its drawbacks. Since it's specifically designed for small breed puppies, it might not suit all dog owners. Furthermore, the assembly process could be daunting for some, and the fir wood might not be as durable as other kennel materials. Despite these limitations, the Feel Good Wooden Dog Kennel remains a viable option for individuals with small breed puppies.
Features
Pros
- Provides great comfort and protection from weather
- Functional design for cleaning and stability
- Pest and predator secure
Cons
- Limited to small breed puppies
- Assembly required

Updated 35 minutes agoBuying Guide
We understand that choosing the best wooden dog kennel can be a daunting task, given the numerous options available in the market. In this buying guide, we will break down the key features and components you should consider when selecting the ideal kennel for your furry friend.
Size and Space
First and foremost, consider the size of your dog and the available space in your garden or yard. The kennel should be spacious enough to allow your dog to move around comfortably, stand up, and stretch out while lying down. Additionally, ensure that you have enough space to accommodate the kennel while accounting for adequate ventilation.
Material Quality
When selecting a wooden dog kennel, pay attention to the quality of the wood used. Opt for naturally durable and weather-resistant wood like cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated pine to withstand harsh outdoor elements. These types of wood also repel insects, reducing the risk of infestations that may harm your dog.
Insulation and Ventilation
Proper insulation and ventilation are essential for a comfortable and healthy living environment for your dog. Look for kennels with insulated walls, floors, and roofs to keep your pet warm during colder months and cooler in the summer heat. Additionally, ensure there are sufficient vents or windows for proper airflow to avoid moisture build-up and foul odours.
Easy Maintenance
A low-maintenance kennel will make your life easier and ensure your dog has a clean and enjoyable space. Removable roofs and floors make it easy to clean the inside of the kennel, while raised platforms prevent water and dirt from accumulating underneath.
Security and Safety
Lastly, consider the safety of your dog when selecting a kennel. The kennel should have no sharp edges or areas where the dog could become trapped. Good quality hinges and latches on doors are crucial to ensuring your dog remains secure within the kennel.
In conclusion, by taking into account these key features and components, you can make an informed decision when selecting the best wooden dog kennel for your beloved pet's comfort and safety.
