It may be you have a large dog and not enough space in your home. If shedding is a problem, your doggy may spend some of the time outside. If your pet is outdoors either full or part time, a warm, dry shelter will be needed.

Even indoor dog homes are available for that cozy comfort inside. What to Look for When Selecting a House for your Dog: - Easy to put together kits are available.

What to Look for When Selecting a House for your Dog:

- The door way should allow for easy entry and exit.
- Your dog's house
 should be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. If you live in a cold or damp climate, a heated house will be needed, or at least an insulated dog house.
- If you live in an area that is very hot during the summer months, the house should be well ventilated and placed in the shade. You also have the option and luxury of an air conditioned house if your pet needs added protection from the heat or you may want to consider a canine cooling bed.
