I am wanting to build a dog kennel so I can get my dog off of the dirt. To help prevent worms, disease, ect... I don't have a lot of extra money so I was wondering if anybody has any good ideas. I was thinking about elevating the chain link pen that I have just to get her off the ground but I don't know if this new treated wood will harm dogs or not. Any ideas or pics that yall have would be great. Thanks.

I use to use SKIDS the are easy to find and you can replace one easy if it goes bad
Go to a local factory and alot of times they will give the old skids away just to get rid of them and use the bad ones to fix up the good ones it gets the dogs off the ground nnd they cant dig in the mudd and a bottle of bleach cleans them up nice
GOOD LUCK with what you choose
