If you have a rabbit, you often buy a rabbit hutch . Just like a rabbit, small dogs, medium-sized dogs and large dogs also like a doghouse in the garden. Especially if your dog is a real outdoor dog!
All dog houses are a place for the dog to protect him from all kinds of weather conditions, but also to have a clear place of his own. In winter, a robust doghouse protects the dog against the cold and in summer against the heat.
You can arrange a doghouse however you want, but it also suits the dog. You can choose a dog door or a dog/puppy pen. This is when you want to let the dogs and/or puppies run free, but you are afraid that they will run away. It also depends entirely on the type of puppy and dog how best to classify this.
Would you like to buy a doghouse, but you don't know exactly what suits your dog and what exactly you should pay attention to when purchasing a doghouse? Then read this blog to find out whether a plastic, aluminum, synthetic doghouse or wooden doghouse suits you and your dog.
Plastic dog houses are generally cheaper than wooden dog houses. In addition, a plastic doghouse is often lighter than a wooden doghouse, making it easy to move. A plastic doghouse is also watertight on all sides and will therefore protect small dogs and large dogs well. So if the dogs want to take shelter for a while, they can certainly do so in a plastic doghouse.
In addition to the benefits for dogs, dog houses made of plastic are often also easy to keep clean. In addition, these items are often cheaper than wooden dog houses.
Both wooden doghouses and a plastic doghouse have advantages. First of all, a wooden doghouse looks great in the garden, the product has a luxurious look and is therefore a real addition to your garden.
Many wooden dog houses stand on legs. This protects the dog's hut from moisture from the large. Because the doghouses are made in such a way that they do not touch the bottom of the floor, the wood is prevented from molding.

The dimensions of the doghouse are also taken into account. This of course differs between large dogs and small dogs, you can choose from a size S, size M and size L.

Do you want to purchase a wooden doghouse in which your dog feels safe and secure? Then there are a number of things you should pay attention to if you want the perfect animal shelter for your four-legged friend:
It is important that the rain can flow away easily. So choose a roof that is sturdy, but also has a pointed or sloping roof. This way, the water can easily drain from the doghouse and your dog has a waterproof doghouse.
Of course, you don't want to be constantly exposed to drafts on your terrace. That is why it is important that you choose a doghouse with a draft partition, this way the animals can rest comfortably from the wind.
Make sure the dimensions of the doghouse fit the dog. There are different sizes in our wide range of wooden dog houses, it is important that you choose a size that is suitable for the dog. It is not the case that the bigger the better because the dog can still move in the doghouse. But if the cage is too big, the dog will not feel safe in a doghouse.
Make sure that the wooden doghouse is easy to clean. It is important for the dog that the cage is tidy, to prevent diseases. A useful tool here may be to choose a wooden doghouse that has a roof that can be opened and closed. This makes it easier to clean the cage properly.
When purchasing a wooden doghouse, you should think carefully about where you ultimately want to place it. It is important that you also think about a possible elevation to place the wooden doghouse on. When the cage is raised off the ground, it is better protected against moisture from the ground.
When placing the wooden doghouse, also consider the sun and shade. If a doghouse is in the sun, it can become very hot in the summer, up to 50 degrees. A doghouse can be placed in the sun, provided the roof covering can handle this and is resistant to the weather conditions. To be on the safe side, a sheltered spot in the shade is better. But even with strong winds it can get very cold here, even if the doghouse has good insulation. All this ensures more peace for the dog, so that he feels the protection of his own home.
In addition to a standard doghouse, it is of course also nice to make your dog's animal shelter extra fun with accessories. A dog basket is of course nice to give your dog an extra nice place. But toys also provide a nicer place for the dog.
You can also consider the design of the dog houses. You can opt for a dog door so that the dog can always get in and out of the doghouse. But a door can also be present in the animal enclosure. This way you can determine (when you are away, for example) that the dog remains in the doghouse, which you can expand with mesh.
It is of course nice to buy other products and gifts for the dog to pamper him or her extra. Do you want to buy a doghouse? Then you can do this online at Doika.
