The doghouse needs zateplit

If the dog does not have such a place for itself directly under your roof, certainly has its own roof. DOGHOUSE, moreover, it must be protected against the weather.

Winter edit

Mainly working dogs are kept mostly at night outside, either on the fenced land, in air, or the pen. Almost always they must be in the defined area outdoor hut, where you can relax and hide before possible elements of the Lord, as well as before the rain, the Sun, wind or cold. Without proper shelter would podchladla especially breeds with soft and short hair, and even the richly osrstena neopovrhnou sometimes the roof over his head. Over the course of the stall could his nose dogs who prefer fit snow on the front porch of the House, than it would have left his post: for example, novofounlandane, leonbergri, Nordic breeds.

Not everyone can allow the dog to wait out the bitterest cold inside the House, and many dogs even refuse to. I'd rather have around the House, under the control, regardless of its comfort and health, and stay in closed premises, garage, workshop or cellar them does not make right. It is therefore appropriate to take them for the winter.

The doghouse correctly fulfil the purpose for which you have purchased,must be tailor-made to your dog. You know, if you have the correct ratio of the size of the shed to the size of a dog, whether it is in the right place, it is constructed from the corresponding material and equipped with everything he has, if it is within the number of rooms and entry is resolved in the correct scale?

On the size matters

Give your dog excessive meters is primarily in the winter months not only unnecessary, but even on the damage of the matter. Too much snow dog cannot own heat heat, in the small signal for a change.

If you purchased your dog kennel in hobbymarketu or Carpenter exactly according to the manufacturer recommended destination for which breeds or how big dogs can serve, for a security check, how are you doing now, a few weeks (months, years) after the purchase. Can you measure wrong, puppy now. If not hoax zateplena, isolation, and je Interior internal dimensions, of course, a little smaller.

Therefore, to reduce heat losses in the cabin to a minimum,first take in the hand and count: internal lowest point should be at a height of 10 inches above the kohoutkovou the height of your dog, the highest point of the other twenty. It doesn't matter if you have a sloping roof, or stitovou. Flat roof is the only summer shed to protect against the Sun. Because the dogs in the cabin usually located above the back they have left only so much space, which you can warm up. More space means that the heated air rises without benefit to the roof.

Base camp is to be so big, so that the dog could lie down comfortably. Measure the dog nadel the rest, and you can get the required size. Width, then customize the length.

Another important thing is the width and height of the entry. The entrance must be just as big a dog to stretch, not through with his head held high. Inlet of either predimenzovany, or leading up to the roof, means a greater leakage of heat, and therefore should roughly correspond to the dog's Withers.

How many rooms

The winter shed should have an ante-room.Partially odizoluje own bedroom and into the den will blow. The size of the entry into the back of the hut is the same thing, what about the parameters for the main entrance.

If you use the doghouse as nezateplena Lodge, a temporary residence permit, to housing from spring to autumn, you may have a simple walls and floor, and the only nevytapenou the room. Also strongly osrstenym breeds with a dense subset of the majority, just a simple shelter.

Material for the construction of

As the most common material for the Kennel shall elect exploited wood, for example. planks, between which ties. On the roof and the floor you'd better do not use a simple drevotrisku that's getting wet, and after a time, is falling apart; are preferable. OSB boards.

If you're still a wooden material on an older hut neosetrili against moisture and dog in her part of the day happily spend, it is high time to select and apply a suitable coating. On top of a new scam is not recommended, because it is already a novelty-beyond the dog tolerance. Even for the older hut with mainly outdoor partiesthat will be in winter to more surfaces inside were the fumes so feel. And outdoor use coatings varnishes with the attestation on the children's toys.

Construction of canine bud is customized so that you can from time to time the front wall of the shed and eject the thoroughly cleaned and disinfect them. If you chose as a construction material to the bricks, then you must think of an appropriate system of odklapeni of the roof.

The floor is made up of wooden planks, well isolated against the lower humidity and covered with nenasakavou-covering, which can be well cleaned. Lina or old carpet on the floor must be perfectly, because otherwise the dog should tend to bent horns nibble or all of the right to move out better than the glue is a few nails, then holes can elongate damp. Remember that hair dogs while protecting them against the cold, but only if it is dry.

Isolate

The easiest insulation do polystyrenovymi plates. They are lightweight, inexpensive, easy to cut, they are not toxic, suck moisture and holds the mold.The second variant is the insulation stone wool, but is usually sold in large packs, and use it more and more owners of dogs (and be).

The isolation is between the double walls: from the outside would shed could not add to the beauty and inside her dog from the lack of other entertainment to be chewed. Note on the floor and the ceiling. From the Add plates only if cabin dog.

Stelte

For those with barley straw, because it is softer than wheat. If the dog to shed distrust, you can replace straw in their old cotton clothes. The first is to stop fighting, because the smell of your dog's convinced that you are personally checked and therefore framed to can safely hidden away.

Straw you must blow up from time to time, garments can be washed. Fleas and other parasites may in winter are not idle and the embryonic stages can survive frosts, and outside the hut, and besides, it should be just zvlhlou or wet litter exchange for dry.

Topte

Awash,or netopit? Of course, depends on the breed and the type of his hair. If the dog is cold, you know, when coming out of the hut was stiff and slightly stiff brush. Longer-term sleeping in winter is on the otlacich front legs, because sleeping huddled together, on the fingers, with his feet under him. By contrast, the animal sleeping in the thermal problem is raised and laid back.

When carried out experimental measurement of the temperature inside the hut and outside it, it turned out that originally the same temperature status outside outside inside only slightly increased, when he walked the dog. The second attempt with Milly a warm hut has demonstrated that the dog will increase and keep the internal temperature of the osmistupnovem of the difference.

And, of course, that pritapenim the heat cool inside will increase even more.

Pritapet, heating panels, which are placed on the walls or ceiling of the shed. Paste them into the double floor too not recommended, because the litter acts as a lid and directs heat rather than up, and if the dog do warm belly, back remain cold. In terms of ease of installation,acquisition cost and security seem like the most appropriate ceiling heating.

And to heat running unnecessarily, and cover the inlet of an old blanket as a curtain.

What to do with it

The correct Doghouse to become a safe haven and also overlooking the entrance to the House. If you are building a hut and the pen in this time of year, note, that when it comes to summer, must be at least part of the Paddock gets shaded out. When you're in front of the entrance to the shed off editing, remember not to hard and equal basis for the dish for water and animal feed.
