Look For These Dog House Comfort Features For Your Pooch

Air Ventilation

Make sure that you look for a dog house that

has an air vent close to the top.

Adequate ventilation is a very important feature in any dog's house.

In the warmer seasons, the heat can accumulate if there isn't enough air exchange to the outside of your dog's house.

Insufficient venting can cause an excess of heat and humidity to build up inside the house, making it very uncomfortable for your precious pup.

Insulation

And of course, a doggie house must be well insulated to protect your pooch from the cold and the heat.

If heat and cold are an issue for your pup... look for a plastic doggie house that uses structural foam for insulation. This material offers the best protection from both the heat and the cold.

Raised Floor or Entrance

Your pet's outside doggie house should never sit on the ground unless it has a raised lip to protect if from flooding in the rainy season.

Floor Padding

Although padding is usually sold separately... you should definitely consider getting a doggie house pad.

A pad placed inside your doggie�s house will keep your pet warmer by further insulating the bottom of the doggie house.

And will also provide some much needed cushioning for your pooch's joints.

Choose a pad that is easily washable so that you can clean it when necessary. You can also find doggie houses that offer an optional pad that will fit perfectly.

Dog House Doors

A doggie house door will help keep the warmth in while providing additional shelter from the cold, rain and wind.

So help keep your pup warmer in the colder months with a doggie house that offers an optional easy to install door.
