Careful Choice of Material Helps Reduce Carbon Paw Print
Whether your dog really likes living in a dog house or it is just there for the few times that he wants to be alone, some serious thought should be put in building it. First of all, be sure that you are providing your dog with enough space. If he is a big dog, don’t expect him to curl up just to be able to fit in. Make sure that he can stretch out and stand up whenever he wants. You should also make sure that there is enough ventilation. Provide openings but make sure that it is provided with sheds or closures to keep out the rain.
Careful choice of material helps reduce carbon paw print. Cedar wood will be a good choice. Cedar is lightweight and dimensionally stable. It lies flat and stays straight making it safe from wood’s natural tendency to warp. Cedar is sustainable lumber. A cedar dog house will stay cool even on hot days. It is also resistant to bacteria and fungus.
