1. Traditional Dog House
This traditional outdoor dog house looks gorgeous with its bright yellow walls and subtle, ochre roof.
This kennel is the perfect choice for any garden or yard and is designed to accommodate dogs of all sizes. Set the kennel on level ground so that it doesn’t get flooded when the weather is wet, and have the door facing away from the prevailing wind direction to keep your canine cozy on breezy days.
2. Wooden Dog House
This wooden dog house has a porch where the pooch can enjoy resting in the sun on warm days. The owner of this pup has kept the kennel’s shingle roof looking natural, while brightening up the walls with a splash of sunshine yellow.
3. Blue Dog House
This wooden outdoor dog kennel has been given a lick of duck egg blue paint to brighten it up.
If your dog spends a lot of time living outside, you’ll need to choose an insulated dog house for cold winter months to keep your furry friend cozy. Insulation can also keep a dog cooler in the summer, so that’s a win-win!
Stripes
