5 Things To Keep In Mind When Building A Doghouse
2
  • Pet ownership in the United States has increased
    significantly in the recent past. Close to 46
    percent of households in the country own at least
    one dog. This is equivalent to more than 78
    million dogs. While most dog owners have one
    animal, about 28 percent of them own two or more.

1. Type
  • You can build a doghouse in many different ways.
    Consider the needs of your pet, your building
    skills and the available tools. There are
    hundreds of plans online. Most projects can be
    completed in a few hours and will cost you less
    than 100. You may also get creative and come up
    with your own design. Ultimate idea is to keep
    the pet comfortable and happy. The roof should be
    sufficiently high. The entrance and the door
    should be accessible as well. Many pet owners
    prefer portable doghouses that can be moved to
    different parts of the yard depending on the
    weather.

 2. Size
  • The size of the doghouse is also important for
    its longevity. Consider the size of the animal as
    an adult before building the doghouse. A large
    kennel can accommodate the growing needs

 3. Location
  • You should also choose the right location for
    your doghouse. The ground should be flat and
    uniform. Clear the site down to the short grass.
    Make sure the area is free from stagnant water.
    You should also choose the right roof. A wooden
    roof is cool and cozy. Vinyl roofs are easy to
    install, clean and maintain. The foundation
    should be a few inches off the ground to prevent
    flooding. This will prevent the wood from
    rotting. It will also prevent insects and bugs
    from biting your pet.

4. Weather
  • Local weather will also determine the basic
    design of your doghouse. Go for a slanted or
    peaked roof to prevent snow accumulation. Slanted
    roofs are great for areas that experience
    incessant rainfall. The floor should also be
    slanted towards the door for improved water
    drainage. If you live in a windy area, install a
    wind block inside the doghouse. While the dog can
    use the heat from its own body to stay warm,
    covering the roof with shingles or roof felt can
    protect your pet from extreme cold. Make sure the
    seams are tight to prevent leaks.

5. Customization
  • Get creative and customize the doghouse to match
    the rest of the decor in your yard. Use bright
    paints that are safe for your pet. Add a bedding
    that your pet will enjoy. You can go for dog
    beds, blankets, car mats, or scraps of old
    carpet.
  • Building a doghouse can be gratifying. All
    members of your family can be part of the
    project. Your pet will also enjoy its own private
    sanctuary for several years to come. Measure the
    height, length and width of the animal. Remember
    that the dimensions will vary with the posture of
    the animal. Your pet dog should be able to turn
    and stretch inside the doghouse.
