  • What size kennel should I choose?
    Choosing the right size kennel is dependent on many things. Size of your dog, breed of dog, how active your dog is and how long the dog will stay in the kennel for, i.e. few hours or all day? For example, if you have a medium sized dog who stays in the kennel most of the day, then a large sized kennel is best.
  • What shape do I choose?
    The shape of the kennel may be a personal choice. You may want to choose the roof shape that best suits your property or your style. Cougar Kennels range includes curved roof, gable roof or sloping roof designs.
  • Can I change the layout of the standard design kennels?
    We are happy to discuss your preferences, as you may decide the sleeping area would work best on the opposite end, or the door on the opposite side.
  • Can I change the way the door opens?
    Yes, we are happy to make minor amendments to the standard design kennels. Have a chat with us.
  • Can I add an extra door?
    As the standard designs of the gable and sloping roof designs only come with and opening gate, it is possible to add a door to the enclosed end of the kennel (additional costs apply).
  • Can I add extra black bars around the cage area?
    On the gable and sloping roof kennels, extra black bars can be added on the end. Contact us to discuss.
  • How many doors does the curved roof kennel design have?
    All curved roof kennels come with a front and back door.
  • Does the tin get hot?
    Yes, the tin will get hot in the sun, so we have built the enclosed kennel area with insulation between the exterior panel and the treated plywood lining to help keep your pet cooler in summer & warmer in winter. If possible, we recommend placing the kennel in a shaded or semi-shaded location and ensure there is always adequate water available for your dog.
  • Is the enclosed kennel area insulated?
    Yes, the enclosed kennel area has polystyrene insulation between the exterior panel and the treated plywood lining to help keep your pet cooler in summer & warmer in winter.
  • What type of materials are used?
    The exterior panels are zincalume mini corrugated. Treated timber framing and treated ply for lining. Galvanised or stainless-steel fastenings. 7mm thick aluminium securo mesh. Anti-chew aluminium flat bar around the arch of enclosed area.
  • Do you do different colours?
    Colour options are either Zinc or Black.
  • Will the kennel last in the outdoors?
    Cougar Kennels are built for the outdoors using quality products, treated timber and galvanised or stainless fastenings.
  • Is the enclosed area of the kennel part lined?
    Yes, the kennel / sleeping part is plywood lined to ensure the insulation is not exposed to your pet as well as for extra strength and protection.
  • Can I lock the kennel door?
    The doors come with pad bolts which can be locked with a padlock (padlock not supplied).
  • How do I go about ordering a kennel?
    Go to Cougar Kennels Contact Us page & send through your details & which kennel, size colour, etc you would like, I will get back to you with our bank details & time frame.
  • How long will it take to get my kennel built?
    At Cougar Kennels, we are working hard to get kennels built and out the door to their new owners. Time frames may be dependent on the type of kennel you require and the current workload at time of ordering. This can be advised at the time.
