Doghouse at home

Doghouse with porch

La doghouse is not exactly a decorative element, but something that is needed in a home in which we have a pet. This house is usually placed on terraces or in outdoor areas so that the dog can be outside and take shelter, although there are also indoors. Although we almost always think of the most basic booths, the truth is that today we find many different models.

La doghouse is an element that must be chosen well depending on the needs of our pet. However, at present there are really original and surprising pieces that are also perfect to have a detail that is decorative. Let's get inspired by some interesting dog houses to delight our pet.

Where to put the doghouse

Dog's house

La The doghouse is usually placed preferentially in the garden area. These kennels are used so that the dog can take shelter if he is left outside or if he wants a shady place. Although they do not spend the night outside, dogs usually prefer to be outdoors, so these kennels are used to enjoy that outside. They are put in places where there is no humidity and it does not get too dirty, but in remote places, since in the middle it can be an obstacle for everyone. Anyway, nowadays there are huts in materials such as wood that blend well with the natural parts of the garden.

On other occasions we have been able see lighter sheds and less resistant materials for terraces or for the interior of the home. Inside, a simple dog bed is usually used but some pets prefer a complete kennel in which to sleep and feel safe, so one is put in a place that is not annoying for anyone.

Doghouse materials

When it comes to making the doghouses, we find different materials. Outside, materials that are resistant are usually sought. In this case we almost always refer to the dog houses that are made of wood, but resistant wood in which some treatment has been carried out to prevent it from being damaged by the sun or with humidity. It is important that if we live in a place where it rains or there is humidity, the kennel is high, whatever the material, to prevent the dog from feeling that humidity.

Other materials for the exterior can be metal, aluminum or even stone or blocks. If we have a good house design, it does not have to be a clashing house, although materials such as metal should be painted in pretty shades like white. The aluminum huts are resistant and also light. As for the blocks and stones, they are expensive but they are the most resistant.

Classic booths

Dog's house

When looking for booth designs, we have the ones that most easily adapt to all types of spaces. Us we refer to the classic booths. Those booths that imitate the shapes of houses with a small gabled roof, a large entrance and a raised floor. This design is the most classic and it always works, although it can become a bit boring because we have actually seen it on many occasions. It is easy to find this type of shed in wood, plastic or other materials.

Functional designs

Functional doghouse

These booths can also have designs that are very functional. Some have a small porch area so that the dog can sunbathe without being on the ground, since wood is usually more comfortable. There are also those that incorporate the area for the feeder and the drinker. These types of kennels are ideal if the dog is on a terrace, since outside, if the food is not covered, it would spoil.

Original Designs

Between the dog houses there are also some original designs that surprise us. Some mimic people's houses in mini size, which is very funny. There are them with all kinds of details, even with windows, or with a design that reminds us of the most minimalist houses. In this case, it is about attracting attention with a surprising booth.

Choose the size of the doghouse

This is one of the most important points on which we must not make mistakes. The size of the house is essential, since it must be suitable for our dog. We can allow ourselves to be advised but when in doubt it is always better to take the one that seems larger to us, so that the dog is comfortable in it. In addition, we must measure the area in which we will put it to see if we have enough space.
