Recessed panel runs the length of the counter to create a finished look and to hide the dog den from guests.

Is that a dog 'cage'?

- Horrendous to see that doggy in a cage. Hope it has an open door

Okay, I get the doggie cage/den thing but is the kitchen really the best place for it? How sanitary can that be for the humans in the house?

Although i don't fully understand the crate integrated into the kitchen design, I would like to defend the dog in the crate itself. I myself have crate trained my dog, and I can assure you that they are SO happy to be in their crate! that's there little sanctuary. I literally have to fight to keep my dog out of the crate and in the bed with me. it's funny how my dog prefers her crate over the bed. So before judging, please know that a dog in a cage isnt synonymous with abuse. The dog in that picture is as content as ever.

dog cage

- This dog cage is horrible! Shouldn't be exposed as a design inspiration in this web site... who is so cruel to keep a dog in a cage like that?

Dogs are domesticated wolves and love dens.

I agree with the other commenters. Dogs are den animals and my pup is the same. He likes to sleep in is kennel/den all thru the night. I needed ideas on how to incorporate a large kennel into my home without it looking harsh and I love seeing how others did it.

Please let me know the specification to the wire grid you used.

I am sorry to say I don't know; my contractor got the wire. I suggest you go look at your local hardware store and see what you like. This wire had a nice finish with no rough edges.

Good luck with your project.
