Let’s face it – you feel guilty leaving
your dog outdoors in
inclement weather, and you 
especially don’t like him being
out in the
cold and wet of the winter. However, your allergies or the
simple mess
of having an indoor dog just isn’t conducive to your
lifestyle. You’ve
considered dog houses, but you aren’t sure they are
satisfactory.
Perhaps you’ve heard, though, about insulated dog houses, and
you are
wondering if the insulation truly makes a difference.
Think about your own home. Why is your house insulated? In the winter, the insulation helps hold in heat more efficiently, and in the summer, it keeps the cool air in your home more effectively. If you can’t tell any other way, you can tell by the price of your heating and cooling bills. The same is true in insulated dog houses. While you aren’t heating and cooling the space with electricity or gas, you are improving the climate within the dog house, making it more comfortable for your dog.
Depending on where you live and how cold it actually gets outside, the insulated dog houses you’ll want to consider may change, requiring more or less insulation. However, something common across the board is the desire for a bit of style, which can be found in insulated cedar dog houses. Aside from looking nice, the cedar will be naturally weather resistant, meaning that you don’t have to worry about treating the wood. Best of all, it means that aside from making sure your dog is warm or cool enough, the cedar will also keep moisture from leaking in, adding even greater comfort to your dog’s space.
oughts of creativity on how to add
warmth,
spice, and a welcoming appearance to your home, take the time to
install some cedar gable vents, taking note of what a big difference
such a small adjustment can make. Whatever else you do to
your
home to add greater appeal, adding gable vents to your exterior is a
great place to start.
