How easy is it to set-up a Kritter Kondo Pet Enclosure?

Last month, The New York Times wrote an excellent article about ‘Catios’, which are enclosed spaces that cat owners are building for their cats on their terrace, balcony, or deck in New York City. These owners typically used PVC piping, chicken wire, deer fencing, or heavy mesh nets in creating these spaces. A new portable Catio is now available at KritterKommunity.com for people that live in apartments but cannot make alterations to their balcony.

“The pet owners who can’t build a Catio because of city code restrictions don’t love their pets any less,” said Lisa Illman, President of Kritter Kommunity. “It just means we needed to develop more creative solutions to the problem.” Lisa Illman invented Kritter Kondo, a catio that requires no building. The Kritter Kondo, outdoor pet enclosure is a one piece portable structure that is easy to set up and take down on your balcony. It is aesthetically pleasing, collapsible, and portable.

“If you can’t make a big commitment to your home because you are planning on relocating or regulations prevent you from building on your balcony, the Kritter Kondo becomes an excellent alternative,” added Illman. “Ironically enough, after designing the purrrrfect portable Catio, I found out they make great playpens for pups too, and that traveling cats use them as well. We’ve even had some requests to create add-on Kondos for a longer Deluxe version. These ‘Konnectors’ will be available for purchase later this year, and they will integrate seamlessly with our existing Kritter Kondo Deluxe.”

What should you consider when shopping for a dog containment system for your canine companion? There are many things to consider and each can be as important as the next.  Take your individual situation into consideration and then prioritize based on your situation.  For example, living in a geographic area that experiences changes of seasons, one might want to consider a dog enclosure that can offer a cool place in the summer and a warmer environment during the colder months.  Convenient to clean and easy to move around are also top priorities of most dog owners.  Having an enclosure that is aesthetically pleasing can also be a top priority especially in neighborhoods with restrictions and ‘style’ codes.

Priorities vary but the top characteristics of a good outdoor dog enclosure tend to be the same:

• easy to maintain (easy to clean)
• lightweight
• aesthetically pleasing
• weather resistant
• reasonable price
• accommodate small, medium and large dogs

Meeting all of these requirements is the Igloo Dog House which has become a popular choice among many dog owners over the past few years.  The Igloo Dog House has managed to rate high in the above criteria while still maintaining a very economical price.   Since it is made of plastic, the Igloo Dog House can be easily washed off with a garden hose and still maintains it’s durability making it low maintenance.  It’s lightweight appeal makes it easy to move around the yard and easy to store when not in use.  Different sizes are available that will accommodate your specific dog.
