Lincoln- Lancester County Health Department - Nebraska Animak Control - <br />Kennel Runs <br />Kennels come in a variety of shapes and sizes with a comparatively low cost. When <br />your dog is confined in a kennel, use the minimum space requirements from the chart <br />below as a guide. An additional 16 square feet should be used for each dog sharing <br />the pen with another. The minimum pen sizes include a shelter. <br />Kennels can come with tops for jumpers and climbers. For dogs that like to dig, the <br />kennel can be placed on a cement pad.
