If you haven’t looked at whats available in dog houses today, you ought to take a gander! Years ago, Rover’s home was usually a home made affair, built for utility – to a degree – but not especially attractive. Poor Rover’s castle was relegated to a corner of the patio, for aesthetic reasons. The unsightly dog house tended to ruin any ambitions Mom might have for a spread in ‘Better Homes & Gardens’. Let’s take a brief tour of how Rover might be more elegantly and comfortably housed.

Wooden and plastic houses
Wooden and plastic houses top the popularity list. A great deal of attention is paid in the design process to the comfort features. Most dog owners consider an insulated house to be the best choice. A house with flooring a few inches off the ground affords an insulating property which Rover appreciates, both in hot and cold weather situations. Warming pads on the floor gives your dog a cozy spot where he can dream, or just inspect his territory, in comfort.

Indoor dog houses
Did you know that there are indoor dog houses? Yes, indeed. These are perhaps the most stylish, as the materials don’t have to stand up to the weather, giving the house designer much latitude in the detailing. For example, for small dogs, a simple, but sturdy house of fabric covered wood can be a decorating asset in your living room. There’s an amazing array of dog houses of this type, in color schemes to match every decor.

Proper fitting
Fitting Rover to his house size is important. Dogs, like cats, prefer a house just large enough for him to get inside, turn around and lie down. It’s a natural security thing for dogs. Consult your vendor for detailed fitting information. Many online pet supplies vendors have a page dedicated to how to choose the correct size for your pet.
