Is your best friend a big breed? An Extra Large Dog House will give your dog a place of his own, and provide shelter in any weather. Here's everything you need to know about them.
What Kinds of Dogs Need an Extra Large Dog House?
Any very large breed, like Great Danes, Irish Wolfhounds or Saint Bernards, will be happy in an Extra Large Dog House. Generally a dog is considered extra large if she weighs 100 pounds or more.
Find the Correct Size Dog House
Start by weighing your dog to get a general idea of what size house is appropriate. If the scales tip at 100 or more, you need the biggest dog house you can find. Most manufacturers make their dog houses in a range of sizes; an Extra Large Dog House could be about 40" long x 48" wide x 45" high.
You'll know you have the right size house when your dog can stand upright, turn around completely, and lay down flat. It shouldn't be much bigger than that, though. When it comes to dog houses, there is such a thing as too big.
What Kinds of House are Available for My Extra Large Pooch?
Whether you prefer wood, plastic, or metal, you'll be able to find Extra Large Dog Houses in a wide variety of styles and prices. You can find a plastic igloo dog house or a large cedar house with separate rooms and porches. No matter which model or style you choose, the house should be insulated, well-built and provide a safe place for your dog.
Portable Extra Large Dog Houses are great for pets on the go. You can find collapsible models that fold away for around $40. This is a great idea for camping and hunting dogs, too.
Some Extra Large Dog Houses come with two or more separate rooms, giving your multiple dogs space to play, and quiet time when they need it.
