Dog Houses

If your dog is outside for any length of time it is a good idea to provide him with shelter in the form of a dog house.  The house appropriate for your dog should not be too big.  He should be able to enter the dwelling easily through the door and be able to lie down in it with a little space around him. If the weather is cold, your dog needs to retain his body heat which he will not be able to do in a house too large for him. 



Also the dog house you choose should be insulated against winter cold or summer’s heat.  However, you need to be careful of the type of insulation used in the house you choose.  Fiber insulation (you know the pink kind) can attract and harbor fleas and ticks.  A better choice would be a house insulated with foam board.  Also, make sure the floor has adequate insulation as well.  The house should also be shingled or sealed so that water cannot get in.

Place your dog’s house in a spot in your yard under a tree, if possible, to allow shade and wind protection.  Try to face the house where the door is out of reach of direct sun and also faces away from prevailing winds.  Some kind of flap closure over the door will help protect and shade your pet.

You can provide a soft blanket for the floor of the dog house, but be sure to clean it often as protection against fleas, ticks and other vermin.  Also try to ensure that the blanket does not get too wet, as this can cause discomfort for your dog and may even lead to sickness.

Be sure that you also place a bowl of water handy to his house for your dog.  Dog’s need to drink a lot of water in the summer’s heat to keep them hydrated, even if they are protected against the sun with their dog house.

You should also be aware that leaving your dog outside in really cold weather is not a good idea, even if they do have a dog house for shelter.  When cold weather warnings are in effect your dog still has the risk of freezing outside so it is best to bring him into a heated garage or back porch area during these times.

There are many types of dog houses that you can get nowadays.  You can build a simple boxed wood structure to house your dog that will work just fine.  You can also choose to build (or buy) an elaborate, detailed and fancy painted dog mansion.  It can be great fun for a dog owner to choose a model dog house that will show how much you care for your pet.
