Which dimensions and size?
Dogs living outdoors need a proper environment that will allow them to fully adapt to this way of life. First, a well-designed dog house is essential to a good quality of life. The dog house must meet the specific needs of your dog depending on its size.
Before buying a dog house for your pet, it is important to determine the ideal size. The best is therefore to measure your companion to offer maximum comfort with a dog house adapted to its dimensions. This one must not be too small. The dog must be able to move indoors, hold in a standing position and be able to enter or exit easily. Conversely, do not choose a niche too large, your companion will not feel safe. In addition, in case of extreme cold weather, the dog must be able to warm up thanks to his own body heat.
