KENNEL Meaning and Definition

  1. A kennel is a noun that refers to a shelter or protective enclosure specifically designed for housing dogs or other animals. It is a structure typically made of wood or metal that provides a safe and secure space for dogs, ensuring their comfort and protection from external elements. Kennels come in various sizes, shapes, and designs, accommodating multiple dogs or single animals.

    Primarily used in pet care facilities, kennels serve as temporary or long-term homes for animals, providing them with a designated area where they can eat, sleep, and rest. They often contain features like a raised floor, bedding, feeding bowls, and separate compartments to accommodate the needs of different animals. Kennels may also include outdoor runs or exercise areas, allowing pets to move around freely and engage in physical activities.

    In addition to commercial kennels, many pet owners employ kennels in their homes and yards to confine their dogs when necessary or to provide them with a comfortable space to relax. This can be particularly useful when owners are away from home or during training sessions. It is essential that kennels comply with local regulations and safety standards to ensure the well-being and comfort of the animals housed within them.

  2. • A house or cot for dogs; a pack of hounds; a haunt; a low or worthless habitation.
    • To lodge or dwell as a dog or fox; to keep or confine in a kennel.
    • The watercourse of a street; a puddle.
