Horizon Structures offers 2 affordable upgrades to increase the utility of your prefab commercial dog kennel.  They are the Feed Room and the Loft.  What’s the difference and why would you choose one over the other?  Or, both?

Many of our larger dog kennels for sale come with a feed room already built into the design.  For those kennels that don’t, you may want to consider adding it.  To add a feed room, we convert an interior dog box area into an ‘open’ workspace by removing the wire panels and dog door.  This modification accomplishes several things:

Capacity: 12

• "Light Stone" Metal Siding
• "Colonial Red" Trim
• "White" Metal Roof
• Shown with the following options/upgrades: metal siding, metal roof, welded wire panels, 36"x40" double hung windows, 24" dog doors, electrical package, exhaust fan, ceiling fans, 4' solid dividers, stainless steel food/water bowls, AC and more

The Loft option is a convenient way to add more storage or workspace to any custom dog kennel.  We accomplish this by reducing the full-height interior dog box to a 4’ high dog box and adding a poly ‘shelf’ or cover over it.

Use this “shelf” as a workspace.  Or, use it to store food, toys and supplies.  If you run a grooming salon, boarding facility or doggie daycare, this area is a great place to keep each individual dog’s food, toys, leash, bedding, etc. organized and near the dog it belongs to.

Another benefit of the loft is that it makes it easier for a dog to self-regulate the temperature of his “den” by reducing the size of the space.

Horizon Structures prefab dog kennels are built to keep moisture and water OUT.  Now, we want to talk about bringing water IN… in a controlled fashion of course!  Having running water available in your kennel is not only convenient – it’s absolutely essential.  Fresh water for the dogs to drink and water for you to use in daily cleanup is vital.

Capacity: 12

• "White" Siding
• "Dark Blue" Trim
• "Gallery Blue" Metal Roof
• Shown with the following options/upgrades: metal roof, 4' solid dividers, welded wire panels, exhaust fans and more

At minimum, we highly recommend the pre-installed hose port.  It’s hard to put a value on having water conveniently at your fingertips right INSIDE the kennel!  So much better than standing outside in the rain/snow/sleet/dark filling a bucket of water from a far-away faucet or dragging a hose across the yard… reeling it up when your finished… or, leaving it lay until you need it again, then mowing around it… tripping over it… Ugh!  Our hose port is located INSIDE the commercial dog kennel and allows easy connection to any hose.  If you have a hot water heater in the building, you can access hot AND cold water through the hose port.

You may also want to consider our stainless steel water nibble.  The wall mounted bracket allows dogs constant access to clean, fresh water.  The bracket is height adjustable so it works for any breed – short or tall.  The trigger and valve are corrosion resistant 304 stainless steel.  Water on-demand through the nibble eliminates dirty, messy bowls and spills.  Dogs learn to use it almost immediately.  We mount it over the (interior) dog box (optional) floor drain to catch any water dribbling onto the floor.

• "Tan" Vinyl Siding
• "Brown" Trim
• "Walnut Brown" Shingles
• Shown with the following options/upgrades: vinyl siding, raised panel shutters, 9-lite prehung door, 36"x36" windows, electrical package, lighted cupola with copper weathervane, welded wire panels, raised floor, 3' high solid dividers, ceiling fans, solar system, knotty pine lobby and more

Regarding water on the floor… with dogs, that’s inevitable.  As mentioned earlier, our standard polyurea floor coating more than handles spills, dog waste and clean up.  If you want an extra layer of protection in your custom dog kennel, we have several options available.

Add a stainless steel wash down tray.  It’s perfectly sized to the dimensions of the interior dog box, easy to clean and lasts a lifetime.

Other advantages include:

However, as good as they are, the trays have a few ‘cons’ to consider as well…

• "Tan" Siding
• "Brown" Trim
• "Walnut Brown" Shingles
• Shown with the following options/upgrades: vinyl siding, 9-lite prehung door, raised panel shutters, raised floor, welded wire panels, electrical package, exhaust fan, 36"x36" windows, AC, stainless steel food/water bowls and more
• Alternate floor plan available:  4x6 dog runs / 4x5 dog boxes / 3' feed alley

Despite the drawbacks, there are certain situations where the tray and mat are indispensable.  Our 1” thick rubber kennel mats provide a durable, textured, non-slip surface that is comfortable for dogs and resistant to bacteria.  Pre-cut and installed at our shop for a perfect fit, custom sizes are also available with, or without, a cut-out for a drain.

A kennel drain is another vitally important option.  Our corrosion-resistant drains are made of 304 or 316 stainless steel.  At 4” wide x 3” deep, the drain extends across multiple kennels.  Liquid runs down through to a single 1”-1 ½” PVC pipe.  This pipe runs under the floor of the kennel and empties on the gable end.

Drains are typically installed at the back of the interior box by the dog door rather than in the aisle.  We’ve found, when hosing down the kennel, it’s most effective to direct the water towards the outer wall.  The wall acts as a backstop and channels the water into the drain.  If the drain were in the feed aisle or walkway, one would be ‘chasing’ water all over the kennel with a broom to channel it toward the drain!

One more thing about the commercial dog kennel drains… Remember the polyurea floor we talked about earlier?  Here’s another application where it really proves its worth.  This heavy-duty floor coating acts as a fantastic seal between the drain and the subfloor of the kennel.  It does a terrific job of keeping water entering the drain from seeping between the drain flange and the subfloor of the kennel.

Dealing with Dog Waste

• Kennels come standard with a polyurea floor inside the dog box and composite decking outside in the dog runs.
• Both are easily cleaned with soap/cleaner of your choice, water and scrubbing with a stiff brush

Kennel Interior:

We HIGHLY recommend adding our (optional) stainless steel / channel drain for the interior dog boxes

12x42 Kennel 

Capacity: 8

• "Light Gray" Siding
• "Dark Gray" Trim
• "Nickel Gray" Shingles
• Shown with the following options/upgrades: electrical package, (2) AC units, drains

Many of the prefab dog kennels pictured on our site show dog food and water dishes both inside in the dog box and outside in the dog run.  Each chew-proof stainless-steel bowl has a generous 3-quart capacity.  They’re sanitary and easy to clean.

You may be thinking this is a frivolous option and that you’ll get your own bowls.  Hold that thought… Look closely and you’ll see that there’s more to these bowls then first meets the eye.  We’ve modified the panel – whether it be the run divider or the kennel gate – and included a welded-on metal frame to hold the bowls in place.  Look even closer and you see a metal spring holding each bowl tightly in place.

Feeding time just got a whole lot easier!
