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 breeder, 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.

Lynne Chisholm – May 2, 2021
Hello – what is the best number of holes for ventilation on the Large size kennel(s) I have a Weimaraner and Boxer that will be riding in (RPK) style in the back of my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Concerned they might over heat with the standard issue holes on the large kennels. Open to suggestions 🙂 TIA

Nancy Sullivan – April 24, 2021
I have a Dutch Shepherd that is 15 months. I have had her since she was 9 weeks old. She always hated being crated. I tried the games, treats and feeding her in the crate. She would bite and pull on the metal and be soaking wet from anxiety. She even damaged a fang tooth pulling at the sides. Researching the breed I read it’s best not to crate them. I don’t spend much time away from her but there were times she needed to be crated. A friend recommended trying a RuffLand. I really didn’t think it would make a difference but since she had to be crated at times at least there was no metal she could damage her teeth on. I don’t know what it is about this crate but it works. She is no longer wet, she no longer cries and tries to break out and she does not rush out when I open the door! This was the 4th crate I bought for her and I finally got the right one.
Vicki LePenske – April 21, 2020
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!
ronald Cappellini – May 2, 2020
Are your kennels approved for per IATA regulations for international flights?

orders@rufflandkennels.com – May 20, 2020
Many people have flown with them before, however, I recommend getting ahold of the airline you are flying with to see if you need to purchase any other additional accessories to make it compatible
Julie Harbo – April 20, 2020
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.
Krissy Carlson – April 10, 2020
Can a large Kennel stack onto a xlarge kennel?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – April 14, 2020
Yes it can
Sadie – April 4, 2020
Does anyone know if I can fit 2 larges in a Jeep Grand Cherokee without putting the back seats down? Thanks!
Keri – April 29, 2020
I doubt 2 large would fit. I have a 2020 GMC Terrain and one large takes up the entire cargo space without the seats folded down.
Steve Hansen – April 1, 2020
The kennels are tough and easy to clean. Fans are great for keeping your dogs cool in the warm seasons. The watering holes are great when traveling and in the house. Cackleboxes are easy to clean .
Keehan Reynolds – February 20, 2020
do you ship or any of your suppliers ship to Australia?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – February 21, 2020
At this time we do not. We are working on getting better international rates but it may take a while before we have any in line
Tom Elliott – February 18, 2020
On the suv model. How high is the back before it starts to slope forward? at what degree does it slope?
Under door style if you choose the SUV style the second photo lists all the dimensions
Adrienne Bancker – February 13, 2020
I am interested in purchasing a large kennel with front and side doors. I can’t find any place that gives an example of what the crate looks like with regular vent holes, the ‘extra’ vent holes, and the back vent holes. I don’t know whether to order them or not. I live in Georgia, this will be used in the car for traveling and I want to be sure about ventilation on all sides. thank you.
orders@rufflandkennels.com – February 13, 2020
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
Joe Schultheis – February 10, 2020
Does the standard large kennel have a place to hook tie downs to? The stock images don’t show them.
Thanks.
orders@rufflandkennels.com – February 10, 2020
Yes they do
Kat. B. – January 30, 2020
I just splurged and bought myself one of these kennels for our senior escape artist mutt. After her destroying both a wire and “plastic” kennel, I wanted to give RLK a try. This has been such a life changer! She seems calmer and more happy in it, than the other types of kennels. WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT!
Brianna – January 19, 2020
Will you be offering a new color anytime soon?
Connie C – February 4, 2020
I too am very interested to know if/when another color comes out; can I get on some list for this?? almost any other color than the ones currently offered would do. Still have the pink? Teal? Purple? Should I call and ask at customer service??
orders@rufflandkennels.com – February 5, 2020
We don’t have any other colors right now other than the 3 on the website. You can follow our facebook page for updates on new colors and when we will be offering them
orders@rufflandkennels.com – January 21, 2020
If we do it won’t be for another few months probably
John – January 14, 2020
Will the large SUV model fit in the back of a suburban?
Nicole Miller – January 14, 2020
Can the crate be ordered with the wire door instead of the composite or do we have to order the crate as is plus the wire replacement doors and swap ourselves?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – January 15, 2020
You will have to purchase the wire door separately
Anthony Urban – January 8, 2020
I have a German Shorthair Pointer and right now he’s 5 months old. What size would be best for him when he’s full grown?
Susan – January 3, 2020
Are these airline approved
orders@rufflandkennels.com – January 7, 2020
We have had many people fly with them. However, I would contact the airline you are flying with to see what all you need to add on to make it compatible
Garret Burton – December 26, 2019
Are the interior dimensions for the large double door (front and right) the same as the interior dimensions listed for the single door?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – December 30, 2019
Yes, the interior dimensions are the same. The side door will add another inch to the exterior dimensions
Jeremy – December 20, 2019
Are these stackable?
Yes the Intermediate, Large, and XL are all inter stackable. It is the smaller sizes that only stack on top of the same size
Jennifer Hilbert – December 20, 2019
When will the large Malibu be back in stock?
Jennifer, the malibu was a limited edition color and we will not be offering it again
Taylor – December 4, 2019
Is there a divider solution I could leverage with the large crate for when my Lab is a puppy?

Lindsey W – November 29, 2019
I have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra (smaller sedan), and I know that a large would be best for my dog; however, I am unsure if a large will fit in my car (width wise). The opening for my sedan door is about exactly the width of the widest part of the crate so it would be a tight fit theoretically.
Does anyone have experience fitting the large size crate into a smaller sedan?
Erin – February 23, 2020
I just went to Cabela’s to buy a large RLK and managed to shove it in the backseat of my 2013 Honda Civic. It was a little frightening when I saw the inside of my car door bend a little but it just left a slight scratch which I don’t care about. Anyways, it’s possible!! It might be a 2 person job though.
Tricia Franke – January 6, 2020
I just bought a 2019 toyota rav4 & the xl fit width wise but did not fit the height, I downsized to the large and it fits great! I was lucky enough to find someone in the area that had a ruff land kennel so I could try a large kennel in my car to check the fit before I ordered the large size. Maybe you could try to find someone in your area that has one you could try before ordering?

I have an ’02 Honda Civic 4 door and i shoehorn this in my back seat.
Lindy – November 20, 2019
I live in Phoenix, AZ…I see they can add vent holes, but how cool does a dog stay in one of these? If the temp outside is 95-100 and crate is in the shade…is it safe? I do a lot of do events in spring, but spring in AZ can get pretty hot. I have used Airline kennels and its too hot. Are these designed to be cooler?
BT Gillis – November 19, 2019
We will be flying with an anxious dog and he has been able to dislodge and squeeze out of a regular crate door. Are your doors secure enough to prevent that? OR, do you have an airline approved accessory that might prevent that? I have nightmares about him being able to get out while in the hold and then running down the tarmac as soon as they open the door
orders@rufflandkennels.com – November 19, 2019
I would recommend looking at getting the side latch rod kit. It goes horizontally across the door and is drilled through the door frame and helps add security to the door
Tessa Lange – November 10, 2019
Is it possible for the dog to chew on the door? I’m worried my dog would be able to get ahold of it and destroy…
orders@rufflandkennels.com – November 11, 2019
We have had dogs in the past get ahold of the door. We have many accessories to help in different cases. You may want to look at the Metal Door Liner or the Door Cover
Cheri Plummer – November 8, 2019
Are you going to make any more purple crates?
Not anytime in the near future. We will be doing other limited edition colors
Eric – November 5, 2019
Does the door have a keyed lock?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – November 6, 2019
You would need to purchase the side latch rod kit to be able to lock the kennel
Nathalie – October 30, 2019
Are these airline approved?
Complete Dog Obedience – December 16, 2019
usually an airline will want a wire door to every crate. Each Airline is different.
orders@rufflandkennels.com – October 30, 2019
They are, however I recommend calling the airline you are flying with and seeing what they all require to fly. You will need to purchase some additional accessories.

Suzanne – October 3, 2019
What is the depth of the suv crate at the top of the crate?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – October 9, 2019
29 1/2″
Michael – October 2, 2019
can you make custom sizes? I like the Large and own two of them, but I need one 6″-10″ longer
Unfortunately we cannot. They are all made from one mold so customizing is not an option
Julie Manson – October 2, 2019
I love my ruff tough xl front and back door dog kennel. I wish I would have purchased a side door. Can one be added?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – October 3, 2019
Julie, we are working on an XL with a side door right now. Unfortunately adding a door is not possible on an existing kennel
zhenya – September 29, 2019
are your kennels suitable for air travel?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – September 30, 2019
Yes, we have had people fly with them before. We recommend getting ahold of the airline you are flying with to see what they require for flying
Lance – September 24, 2019
What is the measurement from bottom of kennel to the bottom of the right side door?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – September 24, 2019
4″
Richard – September 24, 2019
I have a year old mal who is now opening his plastic crate and destroyed a wire crate. Is your crate much more robust than ruff Maxx as he’s opening it easily.
Tessa – November 10, 2019
Will this crate refrain from the door being opened by the dog?
If a dog is determined enough to escape they will. If you have a dog that push or pulls on the door I recommend getting the side latch rod kit
We have heard of this happening before, however, we have accessories that you can add to the kennel to help with the issue. I would recommend out Side Latch Rod kit. It goes horizontally across the door and is drilled through the door frame and it helps in most cases.
Joy Ramsey – September 21, 2019
Is there a way to stack and connect 2 crates? The coupler kit is used when the crates are side by side, correct?
Correct, the coupler is used for kennels side by side. When stacking kennels on top we recommend using the tie down kit and securing the top one down as tight as you can then it will hold the bottom one down as well
dewayne – September 12, 2019
What is the average wait/back order time are the large kennel single doors currently at the moment?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – September 12, 2019
As of right now they are shipping out within a few days
Gregory Mitchell – September 5, 2019
I have a 55lb. GSP. What size kennel would be best?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – September 6, 2019
We don’t recommend sizes. We recommend going to a trainer or vet to see what size they would recommend. I think they usually are in an intermediate or Large depending on what you’re using it for
Donna – August 31, 2019
Do the standard kennels come with the vent holes on the side as shown in the website pictures? For the added vent holes on the side of the crate, how many are there in total and how are they arranged?
Julie Millee – October 23, 2019
So with the double doors you only get 5 holes top and bottom? You only get 2 rows with the single door?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – October 24, 2019
correct
orders@rufflandkennels.com – September 3, 2019
Yes standard is what is shown in the photos. If you’re looking at the Single Door you get an extra 5 holes on the top half and bottom half between the 2 standard rows
Clayton Erickson – August 21, 2019
Please define left and right doors. Is right looking at the front or is right looking out from the front.
orders@rufflandkennels.com – August 26, 2019
Clayton, right is looking at the front of the kennel
Courtney – August 16, 2019
Are they’re any coupons or ways to lower the price? We have a dog with severe anxiety and want a strong kennel but we aren’t rich.
Courtney, unfortunately we do not have any coupons or discounts going on right now. If you are interested in a second kennel (these are kennels that have minor manufacturer defects) we can offer a 10%-30% discount depending on what is wrong with it
Alexis G – July 24, 2019
I have a xl and a Large and totally plan on getting more, they are great for inside a suv, truck or van. I love that I dont have to worry about wire or hard edges grabbing my leather seats or inside of suv. Wish there was a discount on multiples! XL and large both fit in back of my Lexus as though they were made for it! Wont let me upload pic.
Yvonne – July 18, 2019
Are there any retailers in Vancouver, BC that sell the SUV (slant back) style?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – July 24, 2019
Yvonne, you can go to our website and use the “where to find” tab to see if there are any dealers near you
JoAnn – July 17, 2019
Has anyone tried putting 2 large kennels side-by-side in a 2010 Subaru Outback?
CeeCee – August 11, 2019
I have someone at club with me who tried in his Subaru outback and said it didn’t work but not sure what year his is. He fit an intermediate and a large though.
Elizabeth – July 11, 2019
Would this kennel stand up to a dog with anxiety. She has broken a wire kennel.
Alisa Turner – July 11, 2019
Elizabeth, we have had dogs with anxiety in our kennels before and they usually stand up. However, they are not indestructible. If a dog is determined enough to get out they will, good new is we do have some extra accessories you can purchase to help keep the kennel more secure for them
Schanece G. – July 9, 2019
Has anyone had any issues with these rattling? I’ve looked at other brands that said they were loud and wanted to check before I invested in these. Thanks!
orders@rufflandkennels.com – July 10, 2019
If you get the wire door we have heard of that rattling, otherwise it is typically not a problem
melissa perrot (verified owner) – July 8, 2019
Any feedback on if the large slant SUV style back will fit in a 2009 Ford Escape cargo area? thanks!
Brad Stevens – July 2, 2019
I have a 2019 suburban will the large suv one fit behind the 3rd row? My measurements look close just wondering if anyone has tried it in the 2015 and newer suburban? Thanks in advance Brad
Paula Rausch – July 7, 2019
I have two extra large kennels in my Town and Country mini van and they fit with inches to spare. I am pretty sure the Suburban would be even wider.
orders@rufflandkennels.com – July 3, 2019
Brad, unfortunately I have not heard any feedback if those fit or not
Brad – July 1, 2019
I have 2019 suburban, has anyone tried the large suv one behind third seat my measurements are close it’s just hard to order one with out being sure.. thanks in advance
Richard – June 24, 2019
I have a Boston terrier mix with pitbull what kennel would I need.
orders@rufflandkennels.com – June 24, 2019
Richard, we don’t recommend kennels due to the fact that we don’t personally know your dog. We recommend going to a vet or trainer to see what they would recommend. All our dimensions are listed on our website if you want to check them out
Kristopher – June 23, 2019
I want to use this in the backseat of my 2010 Hyundai Elantra. Anyone useing the large kennel in a 4 door sedan type car? I tried to find photos of these kennels in cars and I can’t find any.
Karie Curtis – June 26, 2019
Kris, I have a 2013 Elantra gt and have zero issue fitting it in and out of my back doors. You would have to check, but i do believe the doors for the sedans are larger even. I also have used mine in the backseat of a variety of sedan cars without any issue. I am using a large as well
Tami – June 13, 2019
I am thinking about ordering extra vent holes on the back of a large kennel. How may holes are added and what is the configuration?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – June 14, 2019
You get a total of 6 added holes in the back. It comes standard with the 2 finger holes on the back and the extra holes are added under those two in the middle of the back down to the halfway point of the kennel. under the 2 holes that come standard it will be one hole and then under that another two and the pattern is repeated once more.
Frank – June 6, 2019
What size do most use for a 70 to 80 pound German shepherds
orders@rufflandkennels.com – June 7, 2019
A lot of German Shepherds use the Large or XL Kennel
Vicki LePenske – May 20, 2019
Can you put holes on the top?
Traci Geremia – June 5, 2019
Are these kennels airline approved?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – June 6, 2019
We have had people fly with our kennels before. However, I recommend calling the airline you’re flying with to see what they all require to fly
Liz – May 14, 2019
Would the large kennel with slant fit in a BMW X5?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – May 15, 2019
We don’t have knowledge of every vehicle make and model and their cargo area. We would recommend measuring and comparing to the dimensions we have listed on the website. We also do not have any customer feedback as to whether they fit or not
Kris – April 25, 2019
I have a 7 year old boxer who is still mentally 2 and has managed to break out and chew up every crate I have put her in. After replacing the crate every year I am wondering how this will hold up for her. Are the vent holes on the side big enough for a dog to get their teeth in? Is it thick and strong enough that she would not be able to chew the sides?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – April 29, 2019
Unfortunately, we have had dogs chew through the vent holes. However, we do offer an option to get no vent holes on the kennel to prevent that from happening
Catalina Llanas-Colon – April 10, 2019
you mention a “no bite grid pattern” does this apply both to the door grid and the side vents?
This applies to the door, we have heard of dogs chewing the vent holes which is why we offer an option to get no vent holes on the kennel
Cody Weston – April 2, 2019
What is the width at the base, and top of the Large Kennel?
Trey Meadows – April 28, 2019
Would 2 larges fit in the back seat of a 4 door Tacoma?
I have 2 labs 85-105 pounds respectively. Would a large work for each?
I’m not sure if 2 larges would fit. However, large labs typically use a Large or XL Kennel
orders@rufflandkennels.com – April 4, 2019
It is 17 1/2″
Carol Ebihara – March 30, 2019
What is the standard vent hole arrangement for Large Double Door (Front & Left Side)? Is it as shown in picture on website (four rows of vent holes on side (two on upper and two on lower)?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – April 1, 2019
Carol, on the Double Door styles it only comes with one row on the top half and one row on the bottom half
Austin Bell – March 10, 2019
My father and I split the cost of two of these kennels for our chocolate lab upland dogs and they have been a solid, dependable part of the care that goes into owning bird dogs! We’ve used and abused these kennels, constantly transferring them from vehicle to storage, house, etc. and they have held up to the task. Easy to clean, safe and comfortable for the dogs, the list can go on! These kennels are a great product and I would recommend them to anyone looking to invest in a solid, sturdy movable home for your pup!
Kayla – November 23, 2019
Vincent, What size did you go with for your lab? We have a 4 month old lab who I want to be able to grow into her kennel. She will use it daily as her “crate”. I’ve considered L and XL
Ann – August 30, 2019
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.
Vincent – July 29, 2019
What size are your labs? And which size crate did you purchase? I have a 65lb. Looking at large. Not sure if Intermediate would be too small for him.
Amy Atkinson – March 10, 2019
Are the dimensions for the suv model the same as the regular?
Terry Henning – June 1, 2019
Is the width of the large SUV kennel the same as the standard large kennel?
orders@rufflandkennels.com – June 4, 2019
Yes
orders@rufflandkennels.com – March 11, 2019
They are going to be a little different where the slant is. If you chose the SUV Style under the door configuration there is a photo with the dimensions
Lindsey Trogdon – March 10, 2019
What is the warranty on this kennel?
We have a one year manufacturers warranty. Does not cover any damage done to the kennel by the dog
Mike Bowman – March 6, 2019
Hello, Can you confirm the exterior measurements? You show a 1/4″ wider interior measurement than the exterior width.
orders@rufflandkennels.com – March 7, 2019
Sorry about that Mike, those should be switched. It is 22 1/4 on the exterior and 22 interior
Douglas – February 2, 2019
What size is recommended for a German shorthaired pointer
j. elsworth – May 14, 2020
My German shepherd dogs have destroyed every kennel door I put on their crates. They are PetMate and Remington crates (junk) They pull them inward until they get them open, then out they go. The doors I have are bent and broken and a nightmare to close; bungees all over them. Aaaagh Are these really dog-proof? German shepherds are tenacious.
orders@rufflandkennels.com – February 4, 2019
We don’t like to recommend sizes because we don’t personally know your dog. We recommend going to a vet or trainer and seeing what size they would recommend. However, a lot of German Shorthairs use an Intermediate Kennel
