Due to the fact that Ruff Land does not have personal knowledge of your pet we prefer not to recommend sizes of kennels. We feel consulting with your trainer or vet would give you the best results for sizing. Thank you for your understanding.
Ruff FLEX Technology
The walls, top and floor on Ruff Land™ Kennels also have built-in flexibility which absorbs energy that would otherwise be transferred to your dog. This is where the “stiff”, two-walled plastic kennels, which claim to be safer, fail. They may not break, but when your dog hits the side of the kennel, there is no give like there is with a Ruff Land™.
StackRight™ Design
The tops and bottoms of Ruff Land™ kennels all feature form-fit nesting that allows the kennels to fit together, making them stackable.
SureVent™ Tapered Wall Design
The sidewalls on all Ruff Land™ kennels feature a series of vent holes. These vent holes ensure proper air circulation for your dog. Ruff Land™ took this one step further by tapering the side walls so that the vent holes will never get plugged, even if you slide the kennel up against a wall or some other flat sided object.
UpSide™ Raised Floor Interior
The interior floor in a Ruff Land™ kennel is raised so that debris and liquids that fall or spill off to the side are channeled away from your dog. This UpSide™ raised floor design also creates some flex for a built-in cushioning effect for your dog as it rides in your truck.
2-Way Door
They are ambidextrous and can be adjusted to swing either way.
No Bite Grid Pattern Design
They feature a no-bite grid pattern that precludes dogs from chewing.
Rattle-Less
They will not rattle as much (if you’ve owned other kennels you know just how annoying this can be).
SlantBack™ SUV-Friendly Design
Select Ruff Land™ kennels feature a SlantBack™ design, an angled back end that fits perfectly up against the canted second seat on most SUVs.

Question
Vicki LePenske –
Is there any way to order a kennel that has a 24″ inside floor width? My dogs travel laying down on their sides. I have weims and think that the 17.5″ might not be wide enough.
Is there a reason that the widest inside floor width is only 19″?
Thank you, very much!

Julie Harbo –
I am looking to order 3 kennels to go into my Toyota Sienna van. Two will face out the back door and one will face the side door. I currently have a rack to put them on. I have border collies so they don’t need to be huge but my girls do like to sleep on their sides in the van. The current wire kennels are 24” high, 22” wide and 36” length. I would order large kennels but I am worried about the height as the back kennels fit snuggly at the top now. That being said, they are square now and I know your kennels slant.

The standard vents on a large double door side entry kennel are 2 rows of 6 on the top half side of the kennel and 2 rows of 6 on the bottom half side of the kennel. If you get extra vents it will be a total of 3 rows on the top half and 3 rows on the bottom half. The back comes standard with 2 “finger holes” to help carry the kennel. If you get extra vent holes you only get them in the middle part of the kennel down to the halfway point adding a total of 6-8 extra holes

Ann –
Vincent, I would go with the large for 65lbs. I just downgraded to a L from an XL for car travel. My female malamute is 66lbs and the L is a little less comfortable for her (nose to base of tail she is 34.5″, and 24″ at the withers), however, she is a lot safer in the car in a snugger size, should we ever get in an accident. Just for experimentation, I tried her in my 38lb spaniel’s intermediate, and I would never ask her to stay in there for more than 15 minutes. She can’t turn around in without noticeable effort, and she cannot stand up in it at all. I hope that helps.
