We hold no responsibility for damage caused by weather, wear and tear, destructive behaviours and natural changes in wood, for example splitting boards, warping, and shrinkage.

Please note the galvanised anti destruction pack is most effective when the doors to the bed area remain closed. We are unable to line the door thresholds with metal as this will impede the door closing properly.

We do not manufacture the galvanised bar panels, therefore can hold no responsibility for breakages or damages i.e. dents, welds, discolouration, white rust etc.

All of our Timber dog kennels are made from tanalised wood. Wood is a natural product and will require ongoing care. We advise the kennel is treated with waterproofing sealant immediately following installation and periodically thereafter.

Questions

Benchmark Kennels provide an impressive selection of kennel sizes to accommodate pets of all breeds and needs. Whether you have a tiny toy breed or a large working dog, we ensure that every furry family member has their own comfortable and secure space. Our range of sizes are designed with your pet’s well-being in mind, offering ample room for them to move around while still feeling safe and protected. 

At Benchmark Kennels, we understand that the comfort and well-being of your pets are paramount. That’s why our kennels are thoughtfully insulated to provide a warm and secure environment, regardless of the weather outside. Insulation not only keeps the temperatures stable but also helps to reduce noise levels, creating a calmer space for your furry friends. 

With our insulated kennels, you can rest assured that your pets will stay comfortable and relaxed during their stay with us. If you have any specific concerns or questions about our facilities or insulation methods, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to ensure your pets receive the best care possible while they’re in our hands.

Cleaning your new kennel is essential for maintaining a healthy environment for your pets. Start by gathering the necessary supplies, including a high-quality pet-safe disinfectant, scrub brushes, and disposable gloves. 

Begin the process by removing any bedding or toys from the kennel to ensure thorough cleaning. Use a hose or bucket of water to rinse down all surfaces, then apply the disinfectant generously, paying special attention to corners and crevices where dirt can accumulate.

Allow the disinfectant to sit for the recommended time on the label before scrubbing with your brush; this step is crucial for killing harmful bacteria and viruses. 

After scrubbing, rinse off any residue thoroughly with clean water and dry all surfaces completely before putting back in bedding or toys. Regular cleaning not only keeps your kennel hygienic but also contributes to your pets’ overall wellbeing, making it a vital task that shouldn’t be overlooked.

At Benchmark Kennels, we understand that every pet owner has unique needs and preferences when it comes to their furry friends. That’s why we offer an easy-to-use online ordering system with fully customisable options, allowing you to create the perfect kennel tailored specifically for your pet.

Whether you need a specific size, colour, or additional features such as ventilation or insulation, our straightforward interface makes it simple to select exactly what you want. 

Plus, our expert team is always on hand to provide guidance and answer any questions you may have during the process. With just a few clicks, you can ensure that your pet’s new home is not only comfortable but also meets all of their requirements.
