❓ What is a smart kennel?
A smart kennel is an insulated, climate-controlled dog house that automatically keeps your dog cool in summer and warm in winter.
K9CRIBZ uses reverse-cycle air conditioning, premium coolroom panels, and planned app-based monitoring so you can control and check your dog’s environment from anywhere.
❓ Why do dogs need a climate-controlled kennel?
Heat stress and extreme weather can be dangerous for dogs, especially in Australia.
A climate-controlled kennel keeps your dog’s space between 18 °C–25 °C year-round, helping prevent overheating, dehydration, and stress during hot or cold days.
❓ How is K9CRIBZ different from a regular kennel?
Traditional kennels just provide shade. K9CRIBZ actively manages temperature and air quality.
Our reverse-cycle system cools, heats, and circulates air, while the insulated panels lock in comfort, even during 40 °C heat.
❓ What colours are available?
We offer four premium powder-coated colours: Classic Cream, Jasper, Basalt, and Cottage Green.
These were chosen to complement modern Australian backyards while being easy to clean and maintain.
❓ Is it energy efficient?
Yes, our system uses an efficient reverse-cycle compressor designed for small spaces.
It’s comparable to running a small bar fridge and automatically cycles to save energy when not needed.
❓ When will it be available?
Our first production run is coming soon.

Why Choose a Climate-Controlled Kennel?

Maintains safe temperatures (18 °C–25 °C), reducing the risk of heatstroke — which studies show rises by nearly 10% on days over 32 °C
Reduces Stress & Promotes Well-Being
A stable environment helps reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and support healthy behaviour.
Vet-Recommended for Heat-Sensitive Breeds
Ideal for brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds, senior dogs, or pets with thick coats that struggle in Australian summers.
Energy-Efficient & Cost-Effective
Reverse-cycle R290 technology uses minimal power — similar to a small bar fridge — and cycles only when needed.
Designed to Complement Your Backyard
Premium powder-coated panels available in Classic Cream, Jasper, Basalt, and Cottage Green to match modern outdoor spaces.
Future-Ready Smart Features
