DIY Dog House Ideas

Our pet dog certainly needs a cage for his home, preferably a dog pen made to the size of a pet dog, not too small or too big. Make sure the cage is made to provide comfort for the pet dog, not make the dog become uncomfortable that eventually even our pet reluctantly entered into the cage.

In general, the dog cage is divided into 2 types, namely:

Permanent
Permanent dog pens are made using iron fences or trellis or walls and are usually made at the corner of the yard. For the manufacture of this cage, you should think carefully cooked, because if one makes it difficult to repair and must be dismantled again. Note the location, should the kennels have a roof for dogs to shelter. In addition, the location should be exposed to sunlight in the morning so that the dog can be bejemur and the cage becomes better and can reduce the humidity. The floor on the cage should be made a little tilted so that the water can flow, water tub pee, or even when we clean the cage so as not to create a puddle, the floor was made a bit rough.

Is a cage that many are sold in petshop. Generally made of iron or aluminum. The advantages of this cage is more practical, simple, but the lack of space is the lack of space. Should select a cage that is made from good and strong, adjust to the size of the dog, note the bars under the cage, do not let the gap is greater than the sole of his dog's foot.

For dogs medium size can use iron bars and not permanent, whereas for the size of a small dog can buy plastic cages in the petshop and can be placed in the house.
