Choosing A Dog House

Dog Houses come in all shapes, sizes and designs. They can be constructed out of wood, metal or plastic. You can buy or make dog houses to look really nice, but the important thing is whether your dog will use it. It is important to consider the climate where you live. If your dog will be exposed to a lot of cold weather and rain, you want to choose a dog house that is insulated and waterproof. If your dog will be out in the heat, you want to make sure that the house is well ventilated.
You will also want to think about whether your dog is an older dog or a younger dog. An older dog might have some arthritis issues that need to be addressed in the design of the dog house. You will want to think about how he prefers to lay and what would be the most comfortable design for him.
Before building or buying a dog house, you will want to measure your dog. The dog house should not be too big or too small. It should be easy to clean. Some dog houses come apart so that they can be cleaned to keep your dog from getting sick. The door size should be about ¾ of the dog’s ground to shoulder measurement. The length of the house should be the same as the width of the house. The height should be 25-50% taller than your dog’s head. Make sure to consider the measurements so your dog will not be too cold in a dog house that is too big for him or too warm in a dog house that is too small. For more information, click here!
