A kennel accessory formed of PVC tubing and having a peripheral rail portion for releasable attachment to the inside surface of a portable dog kennel base portion and having legs thereon maintaining the rail elevated from the kennel floor. The rail provides an adequate escape area for newborn pups to prevent the mother dog from laying down on and crushing, or smothering, the pups. The legs of the accessory also permit releasable fixing of a rug type kennel bedding to the kennel floor to prevent the mother dog from digging up the bedding with the subsequent danger of smothering the pups by the bedding.
