I am not from there, (I believe, England) but I do watch her show. They primarily feed dog food.I know that because they aired several episodes regarding obese dogs.
You have to bear in mind that the dogs on that show are as representative of "responsible dog owners" in the UK, as the dogs on Cesar Milan's show is of "responsible dog owners" in the US.
Dogs that end up on shows like that are typically not from homes that do things the "right" way... or they wouldn't have ended up on the show. (Barring a few rare cases.)

I'm from England.
It's very very unusual for people over here to keep their dogs in kennels. The main people who do are farmers with sheepdogs, shooters with their gun dogs and security handlers. With 'pet' dogs it is practically unheard of and people who do so are frowned upon.
Most people I know watch things like Animal Cops and think it's bizarre that so many people keep dogs outside and that it's commonly accepted. For example you would really struggle to get a rescue dog if you wanted to kennel it - 99% of rescues would turn you down.
It's very common to feed dog food - though the number of people feeding raw etc. is increasing. It still isn't common place.
My two GSDs are kept indoors and my sniffer dog is kennelled outside, only because he's a working dog. I've had a lot of abuse as most people consider I am a bad owner because the dog lives outside.
Any more questions? It's always nice to compare differences.
Are vaccinations mandatory in America? If so how do they police it?

Rabies vaccines are considered mandatory by most state bodies in order to get a dog license which is usually law on the county level. They also in most of the western states must be given by a vet. I've never lived in a place where the other shots were required by law happily.
Enforcement of this is usually up to the local governing body. My current home in rural Washington state has next to no enforcement of this. Usually just a fine associated with some other call like nuisance barking or dogs at large.
Interesting about the kenneling thing. Most folks don't think twice about how much time my lab spends outdoors. She's basically only indoors from dark through dawn.

Ditto. Just don't let your dog bite anyone or get loose, and your A okay.
