Dog Box
Kennels That Live in the Truck Bed
A dog box gives your dogs a safe, contained place to ride in the bed instead of loose behind the cab. They are built the way tool boxes are built, by the same shops and out of the same material: an aluminum body, stainless hardware, a lid that locks, and a deck strong enough to carry gear on top of it.

Measuring your bed
Put a tape measure inside the bed, from the inside of the bulkhead (front wall) to the inside of the closed tailgate. Round to the nearest inch — a 69" measurement is a 5'8" bed.
Bed length is measured inside the box, not along the outside of the truck.
Still unsure? Leave it blank to see every length that fits your truck, or call 888-865-4024.
UWS builds single-door and double-door truck kennels in corrosion-resistant aluminum, with a stainless steel key-operated locking system and a tie-down rail across the top so the roof does not go to waste. CamLocker covers dog boxes along with smaller collar boxes for the electronics and gear that go with running dogs.
WeatherTech comes at the same customer from another angle, with a pet ramp for dogs that should not be jumping into a tailgate anymore and a folding storage bag to stow it between trips.
Collar boxes are the small companion piece, a lockable spot for gear that would otherwise ride loose in the cab.
Measure before you order. Bed width between the wheel wells, and how much bed you still need behind the box, are the two numbers that decide which size works.
Common Questions
Single door or double door?
A single-door box is the smaller footprint and the simpler answer for one dog. A double-door box gives you two openings, which is what you want running more than one dog and preferring to load and unload them separately. Both are here, so check the dimensions in the listing against the space in your bed.
Can I still carry gear with a dog box in the bed?
Yes, and the boxes are designed for it. The UWS kennels have a tie-down rail across the top, so the roof becomes usable cargo space for a cooler, decoys or a bag rather than dead area. Just leave yourself enough room to swing the doors open with the truck loaded.
