Dog House Heater & More To Keep Your Canine Comfortable

There is nothing wrong with wanting your dog to stay in their dog house outside

, to protect your property and deter trespassers from your home. However in colder months, they may not be able to produce enough body heat to remain comfortable. There are a few steps that any owner can take to make sure your furry family member doesn't turn into an icicle over night while the rest of your family sleeps: insulating their dog house, making sure they aren't lying directly on the cold ground (dog bed or warm blanket providing a dog house heater for the really cold nights.

Insulating the dog house

There are a number of materials that can be used to insulate your pet's dog house. You can line the walls with regular house insulation and cover the insulation with plastic, or plywood. Having a double wall design, with wood shavings in-between the outer and inner wall. Providing a blanket and possibly a dog house heater will provide a triple whammy, but a blanket or bed will be necessary regardless.

Dog blanket or bed

There is no need to put too much thought into this item, especially if the dog house is insulated with a dog house heater: Anything that is an inch or two thick, that keeps your dog's body off the cold ground, or floor of the dog house will do. Heated dog blankets are also available on the market.

Dog house heater

Prices will range from less than $40 to upwards of $100 or more. Look for a heater that keeps the internal temperature of the dog house around 40 degrees or so. A heater will be a great treat for your dog and will make the transition from being in their dog house, to taking them inside much easier on their entire body(including internal organs and joints/limbs).
