A smart kennel is aninsulated, climate-controlled dog house designed to automatically regulate temperature and air quality.
The K9CRIBS Smart Kennel uses reverse-cycle air conditioning and premium coolroom panels to keep your dog cool in summer and warm in winter.
Future models will include app-based monitoring, allowing you to check and control your dog’s comfort remotely from your phone.
Australia’s heat can be dangerous for dogs - especially breeds that don’t handle high temperatures well.
A study by the University of New South Wales found that dog mortality increases by nearly 10% on days over 32 °C.
A climate-controlled kennel keeps your dog’s environment between 18 °C and 25 °C, helping prevent heat stress, dehydration, and cold exposure, while promoting calm, comfortable behaviour year round.
Most kennels only provide shade or limited insulation.
K9CRIBS actively manages your dog’s environment, cooling, heating, and circulating air automatically.
Built with industrial grade insulated panels- the same material used in commercial refrigeration systems - it keeps your dog’s space safe, quiet, and stable even during 40 °C heat.
This isn’t just shelter - it’s engineered comfort for your best friend.
Yes — particularly in hot, humid, or unpredictable climates.
Many Australian dogs spend long hours outdoors while their owners are at work, often without proper temperature control.
A K9CRIBS kennel ensures a safe environment during extreme heatwave's or cold snaps, helping prevent medical emergencies like heat-stroke and hypothermia - issues veterinarians warn are becoming more common as the climate warms.
Every dog benefits from a stable, comfortable environment, but some breeds are at higher risk from heat.
K9CRIBS is particularly valuable for:
Each unit uses a small compact rotary compressor that’s purpose-built for small spaces.
It consumes roughly the same energy as a mini bar fridge, automatically cycling off once the set temperature is reached.
This makes it both eco-friendly and cost-effective, combining premium performance with minimal energy use.
TheK9CRIBS Smart Kennel will soon be available in four premium powder-coated finishes inspired by popular Colorbond tones:
Classic Cream, Jasper, Basalt, and Cottage Green.
These colours complement modern Australian outdoor spaces and are designed for durability, easy cleaning, and UV resistance.
The first production run is currently underway.

⚠️ Concept Design Images are AI Generated
All kennel images on this website are AI-generated visualizations created from our current design concept. They are intended to show the look and feel we’re working toward and may change as we move through prototyping and production. Final colors, finishes, and features may vary as we refine the design to deliver the best possible product for you and your dog.
We are currently in the final prototyping stage, bringing these concepts to life and perfecting every detail before launch.
