7 Best Accessories for Your Big Dog’s Outdoor Kennel

Writer: Alexander WilliamsAlexander Williams


For some big dog owners, outdoor kennels are a must-have. They serve as both a secure training space and a comfortable retreat for breeds like Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Pit Bulls. But without the right accessories, a kennel is just an enclosure. That’s why we recommend adding key features to make it safer, cozier, and more functional for your large pup.


1. Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Hanging Bowls

Big dogs need big meals, and flimsy plastic bowls just won’t cut it. A stainless steel bowl that screws into the kennel ensures your dog can’t tip it over or chew it up. These bowls are rust-resistant, easy to clean, and keep food and water in place.



2. Elevated & Quick-Drain Kennel Flooring

Comfort and hygiene are crucial for large dogs, especially those that spend significant time in their outdoor kennels. Our Quick-Drain Raised Kennel Flooring provides an easy-to-clean surface that keeps your dog elevated from mud, cold ground, and bacteria buildup. This flooring also helps prevent joint issues by offering a softer, more supportive surface compared to concrete or dirt.



3. Durable Chew-Resistant Dog Bed

Big dogs are notorious for tearing apart flimsy beds. A chew-resistant, weatherproof dog bed offers comfort while withstanding their powerful jaws. Look for raised cot-style beds made of rip-resistant fabric with a steel frame for durability.



4. Insulated & Waterproof Kennel Cover

Whether it’s blazing heat or freezing cold, your big dog needs protection from extreme weather. A heavy-duty kennel cover helps regulate temperature, offering shade in summer and insulation in winter. Look for waterproof, UV-resistant materials that provide full coverage.



5. Heavy-Duty Chew Toys & Enrichment Tools

Bored dogs become destructive. Providing interactive toys, like Benebone Chew Toy, can help keep them entertained and reduce anxiety.



6. Large Dog Cooling Mat or Heating Pad

Big dogs are more susceptible to temperature changes, especially breeds with thick coats. A cooling mat in the summer and a heated pad in the winter can keep them comfortable year-round.



7. Secure & Spacious Large Dog Kennel

An outdoor kennel needs to be sturdy enough to contain strong, energetic dogs. Our Large Outdoor Dog Kennel is built with reinforced steel, chew-proof materials, and ample space for big breeds to move around.



Final Thoughts

Setting up an outdoor kennel for your big dog goes beyond just fencing them in—it’s about providing a space where they feel safe, comfortable, and stimulated. With secure food and water stations, proper flooring, durable beds, and enrichment tools, your dog will have everything they need to thrive in their outdoor setup.
