Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Where Should You Buy Dog Houses for Extra Large Dogs?

Even though you may realize that your small puppy
may one day grow up to be a big dog, it is hard
to imagine just how big. That is one reason why
so many people end up buying dog houses that are
too small for their grown-up dog. So if you are
finally in the market for dog houses for extra
large dogs, you might be surprised at how hard
they are to find.

If you go into your local pet store, you will
probably find the same old dog houses, built for
a dog of average size, and you might not think
that you could find dog houses for extra large
dogs, but they do exist.

There are basically two ways that you can go
about this - build your own or shop online.
Believe it or not, building dog houses for extra
large dogs is actually easier than building
smaller dog houses because there are fewer
intricate corners to deal with and they are
simply more stable. You can find a variety of dog
house plans online for almost any type of dog
house, even the more luxurious ones, houses with
more than one "room," those with a kennel
attached, and those that have indoor heating and
cooling!

However, if you are intent on buying one and not
building it, then you will have to choose between
plastic or wood. Some people say that plastic dog
houses for extra large dogs are better because
they stay cooler, but that is not always the
case. They do tend to last a very long time and
are easy to build, though.

If you are looking at wooden dog houses, then
make sure you find ones that are made from
high-quality hard wood that will stand up to
years' worth of weather. Ideally, they should be
built in the same fashion as a regular house,
with a regular roof, to protect both the
structure of the house and your dog from the
weather.

With any dog house that you buy, you should make
sure that it has an awning or canopy to protect
the entrance from encroaching rain. It should
also be placed away from direct sunlight as dog
houses tend to get very hot inside in the summer
time. Also, because your dog will be lounging on
the floor, it is important that you raise the
level of the dog house at least an inch above the
ground outside. This will help protect them from
overheating.

Dog houses for extra large dogs need even more
ventilation than normal dog houses and that is
why it is also important to have windows. You may
think that windows and doors are there just to
look cute, but they also provide your dog with
the air that he or she needs to breathe.
Especially if you will be using the dog house in
the summer time, you need to make sure that it is
large enough and has proper ventilation for the
size of your dog.

If you have a dog that is from an extra large
breed it might be wise to look at a large dog
house that will fit the needs of the larger
breeds rather than one that is too small.
