Criteria for Choosing the Best Heated Dog Houses

Size

An essential consideration for homeowners in search of a heated dog house is the amount of space it comes with. It should be spacious enough to comfortably accommodate your furry friend for some years if they’re still growing. The space should be enough so that standing at full height, sitting at full length, turning, and laying down is not hindered by space constraints.

If the dog house is partitioned it accommodates more than one dog, all the occupants should be able to stand, sit, turn, and lay down snugly without encroaching on others’ space. Keep in mind though that if the heated dog house is considerably big, it’ll take time and energy for the heat to evenly dissipate throughout the house, which will indubitably translate to high operational costs.

Affordability

A1zKcuYMo1L. SL1500

As a rule of thumb, there is a strong correlation between the price of a heated dog house and its quality. The price is a reflection of the level of expertise that went into the construction of the unit, its durability, ease of use, and the value it will provide over its useful life. As a result, consider your budget before making a choice.

High-end models come with several nifty features compared to their bare bone, entry-level counterparts. Not all products observe this rule though; you’ll likely to come across a cheap, humdrum heated dog house that will outlast and even outperform some top-notch models.

Performance

This refers to the ability of the heated dog house to provide your dog with enough heat to thwart the frigid temperatures of the winter. The heater needs to be high-quality, durable, and powerful enough to provide several years of efficient, dependable, and trouble-free heating to your dog.

Patently, the performance of a specific model will vary depending on the climatic conditions of your location. Also, make a point of being conversant with your dog’s breed and heat requirement to enable you to make a more informed and suitable choice. Heated dog houses that come with natural insulation on top of the heating element provide the best performance all year long.

Construction Quality

The last salient point to consider before making a purchase is the quality of construction. It should be crafted from high-quality materials to enable it to withstand loads of abuse and wear and tear before it gives. The floor should not allow the entry of water when it rains and it should provide enough ventilation so your furry friend doesn’t suffocate should it get too frigid. Proper insulation is enough for keeping out drafts, wind, and rain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How difficult/easy is it to assembly one?

A: Installation is a simple and straightforward DIY project. Brands streamline the process as much as possible to take the hard work out of it. Armed with a screwdriver, it shouldn’t more than an hour to set it up.

Q: Isn’t electrocution a possibility in a heated dog house?
