Upgrading to pressure treatment increases the length of the guarantee to fifteen years and also means there is no need for annual wood preservative treatment.

What are the reasons to buy a dog house?

There are many reasons to buy outdoor dog houses if nothing else dogs love being outside! Giving your dog time outside will burn up excess energy and help them sleep better and improve their mental health and wellbeing.

Another reason is to assist with toilet training. If dogs become familiar with going to the toilet outdoors, it will become unnatural to mess indoors. Talking of looking after your home an outdoor dog house, keeps your home safe from damage if you need to leave the house. Separation anxiety can cause chewing and scratching, so placing your dog in a kennel would prevent such damage.

As dogs are territorial giving them their own garden dog kennel will give them their own space. This helps to avoid damaging the home and ripping up the garden. A kennel is a chance for space, sleep (away from kids!), and a little peace and quiet. If you add your dog’s belongings and comfortable blankets all the better!

What does the RSPCA say about using an outdoor dog house?

Here is a summary of advice from the RSPCA about keeping a dog outside:

1)    Buy a suitable outdoor kennel

This needs to be large enough for sleeping and activity. Ensure the dog can walk, run, and also wag its tail and have plenty of space within the kennel. The dog should also have space to play, be able to stand on its hind legs and be capable of lying down and stretching.

2)    Provide space, shelter, and protection

Naturally, the outdoor dog house needs to provide shelter and protection. This includes protection from direct sunlight, rain, and wind. The amount of space is also important, with a dog crate not being a suitable permanent home for your dog.

3)    Manage temperature and ventilation

The temperature needs to be monitored and kept between 10°C and 26°C.

4)    Avoid tethering or restraining

As a general rule, dogs should not be tethered or chained. This is acceptable for very short periods of time. The problem with restraining a dog is that it can lead to injuries and also affect a dog’s mental wellbeing.

5)    Access to food and water

Naturally, access to food and clean drinking water is essential. If dogs are kept outside, food and drink levels need to be continuously monitored.

6)    Managing social needs

Dogs are social animals and need company and the chance to play. Ensure that dogs have access to daily exercise, play and have the ability to play and interact with animals and other people.
