Dogs are pack animals. Your 4-legged best friend wants to be with his pack leader 24/7. Sometimes that's just not possible. That blanket in the doghouse quickly turns into a soggy rag. Sun beating down on the roof turns his shelter into an oven. It's more affordable than you think to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and healthy, with heated and cooled dog houses.
Build an insulated dog house, add insulation to an existing structure, or buy a kit complete with insulated panels, floor, roof, walls, and door. Add the heating or air conditioning your pet needs. Or buy a pre-made cooled and/or heated structure available in basic or luxury styles.
Homes should be roomy but not drafty, with space to stand up, turn around, lay down and stretch out. Doghouses should be built or placed on a raised platform to keep running water out. An off center door provides extra protection from the wind and rain.
Be sure there's no protruding nails, toxic materials a dog might ingest, no exposed wires a dog can chew. Heating and cooling specifically designed for doghouses will have a heat guard, safe rounded edges, no exposed controls or wires. Position the unit to heat and/or cool the structure, not blow directly on your dog. Most are wall mounted. Thermostat control provides maximum comfort for the dog, energy savings for you.
When a dog is enclosed in a well built, insulated doghouse, his body temperature raises the inside temperature approximately 20 degrees. In spring and fall, a removable wall functions like opening a window. Heating and cooling pads are adequate for moderate weather. Most climates have winter and summer extremes during which our animals need extra care.
Doghouse options include building your own structure, customizing the dog house in your yard, buying a basic heated and/or cooled doghouse, or buying a luxury model that's a fun and attractive addition to your landscaping. Buy a structure the correct size for your dog. Consider the local climate extremes, when, how often, and how long your dog will be outside, when ordering heating and cooling options.
Dogs want to keep tabs on the comings and goings of their human pack. A doghouse in the rear corner of the yard won't get much use. Find a location that's shaded, dry, and within sight and sound of home and driveway. If new to doghouse life, place the structure in his usual napping area. Move it a few yards at a time after Fido has discovered that his doghouse is a comfy home.
Dog houses are buffeted by wind and rain. Even long haired dogs need heat during cold snaps. Unless you live in Alaska, your double-coated dog needs air conditioning. Short haired dogs need heat in freezing temperatures, air conditioning during heat waves. Basic heated and cooled dog houses are economical to buy and economical to maintain. Choose heating, air conditioning, or a combo unit. Luxury options include interior lights, painted interiors, painted trims, removable roofs and walls, attached porches or decks. They come in traditional styles, or fun and quaint styles like a country barn, a cottage, or an A-frame home.
