Do's on choosing the Right House for the Dog

  • Do build or purchase the right size house for the dog
  • Do provide the dog house with an insulated wood structure
  • Do have an offset door. This provides a windbreak and a cooler spot out of the sun
  • Do have a total wood roof to reduce the sun's heat and maintain adequate heat retention
  • Do have a door barrier installed during the cold months
  • Do raise the wooden outdoor dog house off on-ground for better temperature control and to avoid flea infestation

Don'ts on choosing the Right House for the Dog

  • Don't purchase a plastic house for the dog. It's too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer
  • Don't build or purchase a house too big for the dog, especially in colder climates
  • Don't obtain a house with the door centered on the front wall. It overexposes the dog to foul weather and direct sunlight
  • Don't use asphalt shingles on a doghouse unless it has an adequate insulation barrier between the roof and the living area
  • Don't leave doors closed during hot months. Either remove or tie open doors to increase interior ventilation
