OUR STORY

About K9 Kennel Boss

K9 Kennel Boss, a subsidiary of Epoch Design LLC (founded in 1997), is a family-operated company based in Arlington, WA. With nearly 20 years of experience producing metal consumer goods and as many paws in the office as people, we set out to introduce our first collapsible crate to the market in 2022.

Our love for dogs has always been the backbone of our journey. Through the lessons learned from fostering and adopting rescues, we’ve tested more crates than we can count—each one revealing opportunities to engineer a better blueprint. That hands-on experience became the driving force behind our mission: to build something better for the dogs we call family.

Too often, we found crates that bent under pressure—too flimsy, too bulky, or priced like premium machinery without the durability to match. Our solution? K9 Kennel Boss. A collapsible aluminum dog crate forged with purpose: lightweight for transport, yet strong enough to withstand the wear and tear of real life. It’s not just a crate—it’s your dog’s safe haven, designed with both strength and efficiency in mind.

We are here to support pet parents. Whether it’s our tough-as-nails crates or our responsive customer service, we aim to deliver the quality you expect. Every product we offer is built better by design and backed by people who care.

Here at K9 Kennel Boss, we believe in fostering our community. That’s why a portion of every purchase goes toward Dog Gone Seattle, a local Pacific Northwest dog rescue—helping ensure every dog has the chance to be safe, secure, and loved. Together, we’re building more than products—we’re building a stronger future for dogs and the people who love them.
