Buying Guide
Choosing the perfect outdoor dog house from Pawsnug ensures your pet has a safe and comfortable space to relax and escape the elements. Here's what to consider:
- Size: Ensure the kennel is large enough for your dog to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably. We offer a range of sizes, from the compact Grey Outdoor Dog Kennel with Windows – Large to the spacious Spacious Dog Kennel
- Material: Choose from durable plastic options like the Grey Weatherproof Plastic Dog Kennel – Small, or opt for a classic wooden design like the Spacious Wooden Dog Kennel, 100L x 65.5W x 68H cm, Orange. Both offer excellent protection against the elements.
- Features: Consider features like windows for ventilation and natural light (available on the Blue Outdoor Dog Kennel and Grey Outdoor Dog Kennel with Windows models) or a removable floor for easy cleaning (found on the Spacious Wooden Dog Kennel).
- Location: Place the kennel in a sheltered spot, away from direct sunlight and strong winds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I determine the right size outdoor dog house for my dog?
A: Measure your dog's height from the floor to the top of its head, its length from its nose to the tip of its tail, and its width at its widest point. Choose a kennel that is at least 10% larger than these measurements to ensure your dog has enough space to move around comfortably.
Q: What are the benefits of a wooden outdoor dog house compared to a plastic one?
A: Wooden kennels offer a more natural and aesthetically pleasing option. They also tend to be more insulating, providing better protection against cold temperatures. Plastic kennels are often lighter and more affordable, making them easier to move and maintain.
Q: Can I leave my dog in its outdoor house all day?
A: While outdoor dog houses provide shelter, it's not advisable to leave your dog confined for extended periods. Dogs are social creatures and need interaction, exercise, and mental stimulation. Always ensure your dog has access to fresh water and comfortable bedding inside the kennel.
Q: What's the easiest way to clean my dog's outdoor kennel?
A: Regularly remove any debris or bedding from the kennel. For deeper cleaning, use a pet-safe disinfectant and warm water. For kennels with removable floors, like the Spacious Wooden Dog Kennel, simply detach the floor for thorough cleaning.
Q: Is it safe to use my dog's outdoor kennel during winter?
A: Choose a well-insulated kennel, and ensure it is sheltered from harsh winds and snow. Provide extra bedding and consider using a heated pad during extremely cold weather. Always monitor your dog for signs of discomfort, such as shivering or lethargy.
