What is the benefit of wooden dog houses? - Dogs

I would definitely use wood as the prime material to build a dog house. First and foremost wood will keep your dog warm in the winter. Secondly, it is much easier to build wooden dog houses compared to plastic.

Dog tents have several benefits that make them a great choice to buy: • They are usually made of waterproof materials • They can be easily folded • They are lightweight so they are really easy to transport • Can be taken to camping with your dog.

You can get a plastic dog house instead. They are more economical, yet still durable and maintenance-free. Most importantly, they come with natural foam padding, which keeps the dog feeling well in different weather conditions.

Wooden dog houses are most likely to be made out of cedar wood. Cedar is very durable and maintenance-free. Compared to other types of wood (like pine), cedar is much more resistance to decay.

Not all dog houses come with windows. Some of them really are just small cabins for your dog to sleep in and I don't think the dogs mind too much. Some of the larger and fancier wooden models have windows and if you are building your own you can always add that in if it's important to you.

If you are looking for a dog house that is cheaper and maybe less sturdy than a wooden dog house, there are a lot of plastic dog houses on offer. Take a look at the Walmart website: http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=plastic+dog+house
