Besides cats, dogs are the most popular pet of the Germans. Of course a dog kennel has to be built so that the beloved four-legged friend can feel really comfortable. However, there are also some things to consider here, so that the dog can also feel good.

Dog kennel and the right size

The fact that there are these huts in different designs, should always be measured before the size of the dog exactly. This is so important that the dog has enough space in his kennel. Such a hut serves not only to protect the dog from strong sun or rain, but should also provide a quiet retreat for the dog. Therefore, the measurement is important so that the kennel can really meet these needs. For this the dog is measured from the nose tip to the tail end, because also the four-legged friend wants to make itself once really long. Of course many dogs do that, even in bed, but not every pet owner would like to do that. So measure the dog in such a way and then you can almost start looking for the right doghouse. But only almost, because there are still some things to consider when it comes to the material and then the actual execution. But the right size is not only important so that the dog can stretch out and move.

If the doghouse is too small, then movement is not announced and the quadruped does not feel well. On the other hand, a dog kennel that is too large is also not sensible, as the kennel cannot warm itself up here through the body heat of the dog. The consequence would be that the dog freezes in the doghouse. Of course every dog owner wants to avoid this, so the exact measurement is very important. But how exactly should the new kennel look like and what should it contain? There are some manufacturers nevertheless a help, whereby a rule said, that the hut is approximately 10 cm larger than the dog. However, these 10 cm is not the same for every dog, therefore the exact measurement has to be made first at the dog kennel. Of course, 10 cm is more for a shepherd dog than it is for a dachshund. Therefore, the greatest care should be taken to ensure that the kennel meets all requirements.

How to measure correctly

Length: from tip of nose to base of tail
Height: from floor to shoulder height

Now the two sizes still have to be set in relation to the dog kennel, whereby also the material plays a decisive role. Here the thickness of the walls is meant, because these must be subtracted now, in order to be able to calculate so the inside dimensions of the dog kennel exactly. Once this important step has been taken, the right material must be selected. Here it is then also decisive whether the dog kennel is to be bought ready, or this is then built in self-work. There are manufacturers who also offer the hut in wood. This has some good qualities, whereby the appearance is important for many dog owners. Of course there is also a dog kennel made of plastic, but usually they do not always look very good. That depends now on the taste of the owner, who buys then the dog kennel for its four-legged friend or builds. Here, wood is the ideal material because of its excellent properties alone, because it warms even on cold days. However, the wood must still be impregnated against moisture, so that the dog kennel lasts for a long time. All this should be considered also with a purchase, so that the dog has then really a very good and beautiful place. Of course, blankets or pillows may also be placed in the dog kennel, because the comfort should not be neglected. If you would rather have a plastic hut, you will also have to consider a few things here.

These are of course included in the purchase cheaper, but the kennel is usually not properly isolated. It is also important here that this first evaporates a certain time. If this is not done, harmful substances can develop in the dog kennel. These substances are then also not healthy for the dog and nobody wants to do that to his beloved friend. This is why it is so important to make the right choice so that the animal does not come into contact with harmful substances through the kennel. However, good sound insulation is just as important as environmental compatibility. The plastic hut can’t really score well there.

Equipping the kennel properly

Of course the dog will not accept the hut at first gladly, just if this had before still another favourite place. But here everyone can give the dog a cuddly place to stay with his favourite blanket, just as treats can also be placed in the dog kennel. In addition, the water and food bowl should also find a place. Thus the dog also recognizes fast that the dog kennel is meant completely for him alone. Of course you can also put a thermal blanket in the hut in winter. So the dog gets a lot of warmth from below. Cold lying should always be avoided, therefore isolating the kennel is important. Even if the hut has already been bought, these are often intended for the summer. But not really, because a lack of insulation can be very unpleasant, especially in summer.

Therefore, the insulation of the kennel is always an important part, where there are good specimens that really contain everything a dog needs for a comfortable place. To this great The right dog kennel is certainly one that belongs to the selection and looks good as well. Here there is really the biggest choice, whereby one or the other dog kennel then already looks more like an own house. There are even small windows with a tray for flowers. But whether this is really necessary in a dog kennel, everyone has to decide for himself. Of course, the cottage does not have to be in the garden, but can also find a place in the apartment. Here the isolation is not necessarily important, but the doghouse should keep away noise. Because also dogs like it rather quietly when sleeping. If there is a lot of noise or running around, they can also become nervous, which leads to a lack of sleep. So also a door at the dog kennel can be very useful, but everyone has to decide for himself or for his dog. But not only the equipment and the appearance are important, but also where the kennel should be. Therefore not only the dog must be measured exactly, but of course also the place where the new home for the dog should stand.

Finding the right place for the dog kennel

Who has finally bought the right dog kennel, should build it first of all. This is usually done very quickly, as there is always a construction manual included. However, the hut will probably have a strong smell, which will disappear after a while. In the case of wood, this is usually due to the fact that it has been impregnated. If there is a possibility, set up the kennel outside. So the somewhat unpleasant smell can then vanish. Then the question is where exactly the hut should be. Of course it can also be installed in the house if there is no garden, terrace or balcony. But it is always important that the dog sees his pack. Dogs are pack animals, so they’re always alive. in company. Therefore it is important that the kennel is placed in such a way that the dog sees his pack. In this case these are the people with whom the dog constantly lives together. The best is to put the doghouse with the door to the house. Who sets up the dog kennel inside the apartment should then open the door to the room. So the dog can always see his pack and still lie comfortably. Who sets up the hut in the garden, should pay attention to the fact that the dog kennel has a shady place in the summer. Heat is rather not good for dogs, because also these can get a heat stroke.

So it can also be important that the dog kennel in the garden is sheltered from the wind. All this should be considered when setting up, because

with the dog then also accepts the cottage. All this, of course, everyone decides for themselves. So should also be included in the consideration how much time the dog should spend in his kennel. Because here the owners have different opinions and the dog does not need to stay outside at night. For other owners, the kennel is designed so that the dog always spends time outdoors. All this should also flow into the correct decision, so that then the dog kennel can become really fair all requirements. Of course the needs of the dog are more important than those of the owner. After all, it is a house for the dog and not for humans.

This should be sufficient as a rule, so that the cleaning of the kennel is always done very quickly. All this makes a good hut for the dog, which should also be taken into account during the selection. There is also a dog kennel with a flat or pointed roof. Here the decision again depends on where the hut should be. Especially a doghouse with a flat roof is suitable for living rooms.
