Dogs are pack animals with demanding social needs. Sometimes it's a necessity. Sometimes a healthy active dog enjoys some outside time. Wet or snow covered hair quickly turns a warm blanket into a soggy rag. Hot sun turns his home into a toasty oven. Keep your best friend safe and comfortable. A wide variety of heated and cooled dog houses with a choice of options makes this an affordable purchase on any budget.
If you're handy with tools, you can build an insulated dog house adding the heating and cooling features you desire. Other options include purchasing a kit with insulated panels, adding insulation and a heater or air conditioner to an existing house, or buying a ready to go doghouse with the features and options you need.
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.
Use non toxic building materials that won't poison your pet if he chews on his house or the roof. Be sure there are no exposed wires that could electrocute your dog if wet or chewed. Heaters and air conditioners designed for dog structures will have no exposed wires or controls, no sharp edges, and a built-in heat guard. Most are wall mounted to warm the interior without directly blowing hot air on the dog. They're thermostatically controlled, keeping the interior a comfortable temperature and costing very little to operate.
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.
Factors in choosing a doghouse are size and breed, local climate extremes, when your dog will be outdoors, and for how long. No matter your budget, you can afford a comfortable home for Fido. Build from scratch, customize an existing structure, buy a no frills basic heated and/or cooled model, or buy an attractive luxury doghouse with lights and a deck too.
Placing a doghouse in an isolated spot, no matter how shady and ideal, is a plan doomed to failure. Your dog will ignore the doghouse to keep watch on the home and driveway. Best choice is a shady spot in sight and sound of the house and driveway, a place your dog has already chosen for his resting spot.
Fun dog houses are surprisingly economical. Add an attractive "cottage" to your backyard, or a log cabin, a country barn, an A-Frame design. Choose heating or air conditioning or both. Your husky will need air conditioning in a hot climate. Short haired dogs need both in any climate. All dogs need heat when the temperature dips below freezing. Above ground structures are not equivalent to an underground wolves den. Heated and cooled dog houses have dog doors, painted trims in a choice of colors, interior lights, attached porches, removable roofs and/or walls.
