Why an Insulated Dog House?

An insulated dog house is designed to keep your dog comfortable in the extreme temperatures of both the winter and summer. Some owners, of course, just prefer to keep their pets indoors. Others want to keep fleas and muddy paws outside.

Why an insulated dog house instead of a regular house? The insulation, just like that inside our walls, works to slow the rate of heat transfer between the air inside and outside the structure. Reflective insulation reflects the heat coming from the outside.

The walls of an insulated dog house also trap air pockets that separate the heat outside from materials that conduct the heat more easily than air, which is not a good conductor of heat. This same principle helps slow heat transfer even more when the insulated dog house contains a raised floor, which traps an air pocket between the ground and the house.

An insulated dog house is a necessary accompaniment to a heating and air conditioning unit. If you want to keep your energy bill lower, the insulated dog house makes the air conditioning most efficient. You probably wouldn’t run an air conditioner in your house if its walls contained no insulation. I know I wouldn’t want to. The same principles apply to a dog house. So to give your furry friend the ultimate in summer comfort, an insulated dog house is the way to go.
