Word origin

The word 'kennel' originates from the Old French term 'kenel', meaning 'a small house' or 'dog house'. It evolved in Middle English as 'kenel' or 'kenyng', signifying a place where dogs are housed. The usage of 'kennel' as a verb for the act of boarding or providing care for dogs emerged later, creating terms like 'kenelling'. The concept of kennelling became more formalized with the rise of pet ownership in the 19th and 20th centuries, leading to the establishment of specialized facilities dedicated to the care of animals. As people began to travel more often, kennelling services evolved to meet the needs of pet owners who required safe and secure alternatives for their pets during their absences.
