What kind of doghouse you should buy depends on what kind of dog you have. With the wide variety of styles and price ranges to choose from, you'll have no trouble finding one to fit
your dogs personality and size, and your budget.
Know that a doghouse should be big enough so that your dog can turn around in it and lie down completely stretched out inside.Select a doghouse in any shape you like, as long as your dog will fit.
Be sure the doghouse you select is not too large. Dogs feel more secure in small spaces and in the winter a large space will have too much cold air.
Understand that either a wood or plastic doghouse is fine, but some plastic doghouses are insulated and hold warmth better than others.
Look for doghouses that have venting at the top for air circulation purposes.
Ask for doghouses with doors. This type will really protect your dog from the elements.
Consider building your own doghouse to match the outside of your home.
Know that your dog will be happy in whatever style doghouse you select, as long as it's big enough and provides protection from bad weather.
