Dog houses can be a comfortable and cozy spot for dogs to sleep. The best dog house for warm weather should have a slanted roof, raised floor and UV protection to keep the dog dry. In addition, a dog house should be ventilated to allow air flow and prevent moisture buildup.
If your dog is a chewer, a wood house may not be the best choice for him. Plastic may be a safer option, as it is harder to chew than wood and can withstand more weather conditions. However, it is less likely to be repaired the way a wooden house can with a little glue and new board.
Another low-cost and easy-to-clean way to make a dog house more comfortable is by adding cedar or pine shavings. The wood chips will hold your pup’s body heat and provide a warm nest. However, if your dog is sensitive to these materials, consider alternatives such as towels, sheets or blankets.
If you have any questions about your pet’s health or well-being, reach out to a veterinarian. Chewy’s Connect with a Vet telehealth service offers real-time chats with veterinary professionals, and it is free for Chewy members. Also, remember to schedule routine medications and vaccines before travel. And don’t forget to pack a water bowl, towel and favorite treats. For even more peace of mind, add a safety harness and leash to your pet travel bag.
