Right as mentioned before, Im looking into turning an outdoor garage at my mams into a huge indoor dog room, the garage is a very nice built one, it actually looks like a bungalow or granny annex type thing, at present it's empty.
So, the bigger rescue dogs are in inside kennels, so imagine a brick built barn, with stables in, this is how the kennels are for big dogs, mam has her own dogs inside but she is having a second bout of back surgery very soon and grandad lives with her, so her dogs could maybe also do with going into the dog room (till she is recovered), and having a seperate room made for them (a bit like mine, with lots of beds and a settee, kitchen area, heated and washable) it would make them esaier to manage with the rescue whilst we all rally round to look after them and me mam and grandad
At present she has an indoor doggy room for all the smaller/older dogs and broken convalescing dogs, but really it's her house and she really should use the room, its really a very nice room, like a massive conservatorey, she spends money she really should not heating it in winter and cooling it in summer.
So I think we need an outdoor doggy room, its only actually a few metres from the house, so my idea
Plastic clad the walls (to make them washable)
at present they are brick.
Tile the floor (again, to make it hygenic and washable) at present its paving stones.
Create a smaller room for her dogs.
Create another for The broken rescues, like the broken greyhounds she has in (or walk in kennels to contain them whislt recovering.
Also will need a crated area, this is where I need input..............
At present all the smaller dogs are crated for bed or when mam goes to work, till me or volunteer goes up to start feeding and cleaning at dinner time, then mam sees to them again when she gets in from work.
I want to keep containment but not crates, as they are not very washable, so its a case of walk in kennels with glass/metal doors, they would be made of brick, and be tiled from top to bottom, or somekind of fibre glass kennel units u can have custom made, as the shore line stainless steel ones (used in vets) are a fortune.
Also if she moved, these custom made ones can be removed.
Does anyone know where the fibre glass ones with mesh doors are made and does anyone use them?, i.e grooms/kennels/cattery?, obs I groom but use crates as I do it from home.
I have seen them in cars but always angled to fit in, never a row of square ones of say 10, even made with 3 on the bottom, then 3 on top, like a stack.
