The front door works like a standard kennel, and the side entry door lets you load and unload your dog from the side — ideal in truck beds, SUVs and kennel setups where front access is blocked.

What size dog fits the Medium Side Entry?

Interior dimensions are 28.9″L x 19.6″W x 26.25″H. Measure your dog and choose a kennel they can stand, turn and lie down in comfortably.

Is it easy to clean?

Yes — smooth molded interior, hose it out and the drain hole empties the wash water.
