Orion Kennels – AD Series

Orion Kennels AD Series

Perhaps the most notable feature on the Orion is the door system. Unconventional in design, it is highly functional. The door design combines four 350 lbs. weight rated straps at each corner, for a total of 1,400 lbs., keeping the door closed in an accident, but also allowing the door to flex, slowing down the rate at which the dog will hit the door in an impact, and thus reducing the probability of internal injuries. The AD Series Kennels from Orion are also available in several sizes and vibrant colors.
