We actually recommend purchasing the best insulated dog house you can buy and following guidelines for your pets during the winter. Many heating elements can burn or harm your pet so having an insulated dog house can prevent those injuries. The American Veterinary Medical Association does not recommend leaving pets outdoors for long periods of time in below-freezing weather in their Cold Weather Animal Safety recommendations. There are some long coat dogs and breeds that do well outdoors in the winter, but most should be brought indoors when the temperature is below 45 degrees. Our list of dog houses above will keep your pet warm without the need of a heating element at reasonable temperatures. Properly sizing your dog house to your dog is extremely important as well. Too big of a dog house will not allow your dogs natural heat to provide warmth to the space. It might seem like a good idea to provide a big space for your dog, but too big of a space when the temperature is cold is actually not a good thing when heating the dog house.
