A Cedar Dog House
We offer Wood Dog Houses in two styles: One Cedar Dog House is build like a Log Cabin and one is build like a Wood Chalet. Both are made of Cedar, the premier choice of wood and the best choice for a Dog House. Cedar Wood as a choice for an Outdoor Dog House means that your dog has a house that will resist wear and tear from elements much better than other woods. Cedar Wood is also know for its ability to deter certain insects like fleas and ticks - another quality you are looking for when buying a Dog House made of wood.
Our Indoor Dog House is also made of Cedar Wood. We offer one style and the available wood stain is either natural or cherry to match your indoor decor.

How to find the
Dog House
that's right for your Dog
Size
The size of your dog house depends on what kind and size of dog you have. It should be just large enough so that your dog can lie down comfortably while inside, and enter and exit easily.
A dog house that is too large can result in interior temperatures that are too warm in the summer and too cold in the winter.
Don't select a dog house that's too large - dogs feel more secure in small places.
Wood or Plastic?
Either one will work. You can paint a Wood Dog House any color you like, the plastic ones tend to be beige. Wood Dog Houses provide a special place for your dog and offer a little more style.
Another appealing aspect of wood dog houses is that you can choose a painted or stained dog house. You can easily add personal touches such as a plaque with text like 'Fido's Cedar Dog House at Whisteria Lane'.
The biggest benefit of a Wooden Dog House is that wood acts as a great insulator against heat and cold.

Using cedar wood for your dog house means the house will resist wear and tear from the elements much better. Cedar is also know for its ability to deter certain insects like fleas and ticks.
Raised Floor
A raised panel floor increases the airflow beneath the dog house, resulting in enhanced temperature control. Raised floor panels also prevent unnecessary buildup of yard debris inside the dog house. Excess debris can bring in moisture and promote wood rot on the dog house floor.
Roof DesignA shingled roof will protect the wood more than an unfinished roof, and a slanted roof will prevent water from pooling and causing unnecessary strain or water damage.
Select a roof that has an opening for ventilation.
Dog House Shape
The shape of the doghouse doesn't matter, as long as your dog will fit. The igloo-shaped huts work as well as rectangular ones.
More Dog House Advice
Buy a dog bed that will fit inside your doghouse.
Be sure your dog has fresh water in the doghouse and that the house is placed in the shade in the summer months.
Gradually introduce your dog to the doghouse and use treats or toys to encourage him or her to go inside.
