PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a foldable kennel, whose vertical and horizontal sizes correspond to those of a side panel when folded, allowed to be folded as compactly as possible without losing the advantages of the conventional foldable kennels. SOLUTION: This kennel is obtained by connecting slab panels 1 facing each other, a side panel 3 and floor panel 4 by hinge joints 9, connecting a roof panel 2 to the above sides of the front and rear ends of any one slab panel 1b by a pair of link bars 10, determining the radius of gyration of the link bars 10 based on the total thickness of all the hinged panels 1, 3 and 4 when folded. In folding the kennel, the folded panels 1, 3 and 4 are folded together by rotating the link bars 10 while invertibly hanging them outwardly in an apron manner relative to the other slab panel 1a.
