Our take on the Intermediate Kennel

The RuffLand Intermediate Kennel is a one-piece roto-molded dog crate made in the USA, sized for medium dogs and built mainly for vehicle transport. Its seamless shell has no joints or seams to fail, and the plastic flexes to absorb impact energy in a crash better than a rigid crate. The raised floor keeps the dog up off dirt and water, and the walls are ventilated. It is heavier and bulkier than a folding wire crate and has no built-in tie-downs, so buyers add straps and a mat. Owners rate it highly for toughness and crash protection; the common complaints are the weight, the plain finish and the extra cost of accessories.

About the Intermediate Kennel

The RuffLand Intermediate Kennel is the original RuffLand kennel size, made in the USA for medium-sized dogs during everyday transport. It is built as one piece using rotational molding, so it has no seams or joints.

The kennel is designed with built-in flexibility to absorb and disperse impact energy during vehicle transport. It is made for travel in trucks, SUVs, trailers, RVs, and work vehicles. It also provides ventilation for dogs during travel, training, competitions, and daily use.

A raised interior floor keeps dogs elevated above dirt, mud, water, hair, and debris. RuffLand StackRight Technology lets kennels stack securely for storage and transport. The size fits many medium-sized and sporting breeds, including Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Brittany Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels, English Springer Spaniels, and smaller Labrador Retrievers.

Questions and answers

What size dog fits the Intermediate Kennel?
It is RuffLand's original size, aimed at medium dogs. Measure your dog's length and standing height and compare them to the interior dimensions before buying, since the shell is fixed and does not expand.
Is it safe in a car crash?
The one-piece roto-molded shell has no seams or joints, and the plastic flexes to absorb and spread impact energy. It still needs to be secured with straps or a tie-down to keep it in place.
Does it come with a mat or tie-down straps?
No. The kennel is sold as the shell alone, so plan on buying a mat for the floor and straps to anchor it in the vehicle.
How does it compare with a wire crate?
It is far stronger and better for travel, but heavier, bulkier and harder to fold away. A wire crate suits home use and quick storage; this one suits the car.
How do I clean it?
The seamless shell and raised floor wipe down easily with soap and water. There are no joints for dirt and hair to collect in.
Is it good for air travel?
It is built for vehicle transport, not airline cargo. Check with your airline before relying on it for a flight.
Where is the Intermediate Kennel cheapest?
