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.
A doghouse should be sized so dogs can stand up and turn around comfortably, curl up or stretch out. Extra space reduces the effectiveness of climate control measures. Houses should be built or placed on a platform to keep out running water. An off center dog door offers extra protection from 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.
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.
