A dog kennel is a structure designed to provide shelter and safety for dogs. It can be a small, enclosed space for a single dog or a larger facility that houses multiple dogs. Kennels are often used by pet owners when they are away from home, as well as by professional dog breeders and trainers. In addition to providing a safe environment, dog kennels can also offer services such as grooming, training, and socialization. Many kennels are equipped with outdoor play areas, allowing dogs to exercise and interact with other dogs under supervision.
