Insulating your dog\u2019s house helps to block out cold and retain your dog\u2019s body heat. A well-insulated doghouse, packed with plenty of dry, clean bedding material, is essential for any dog who must spend time outside.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-two-dogs-share-a-dog-house\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_two_dogs_share_a_dog_house\"><\/span>Can two dogs share a dog house?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The short answer to this question is yes, it\u2019s generally better for each dog in a household to have his own crate.\u00a0 Littermates tend to be more receptive to sharing a crate, for example, as are small dogs. It\u2019s almost never advisable for more than two dogs to share a single crate.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xzxuZoxqZM0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/That4EH3sMM\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-can-i-put-in-my-dog-s-house-to-keep\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_I_put_in_my_dogs_house_to_keep_the_dog_warm\"><\/span>What can I put in my dog\u2019s house to keep the dog warm?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Insulate the House<\/p>\n<p>Basic insulation will help keep your dog\u2019s home much warmer.

The temperature may then be gradually decreased to approximately 80\u00b0F (26.7\u00b0C) by the seventh to tenth day and to about 72\u00b0F (22.2\u00b0C) by the end of the fourth week.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-the-first-litter-of-puppies-the-best\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_first_litter_of_puppies_the_best\"><\/span>Is the first litter of puppies the best?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best pups usually sell first, so try to set up a visit with the breeder right after the litter has been born. Though the breeder likely won\u2019t have you visit the pups until they are 7-8 weeks old, its best to be at the top of the visiting list.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1ocq1plmlMw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-can-i-keep-my-outside-dog-warm-in-freezing\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_keep_my_outside_dog_warm_in_freezing_weather\"><\/span>How can I keep my outside dog warm in freezing weather?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to Keep Outside Dogs Warm in Winter<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Keep your dog\u2019s paw fur trimmed to stop ice from forming between the pads.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your dog\u2019s paws clean to prevent irritation from sharp ice and snow.<\/li>\n<li>Consider dog clothing, such as a sweater.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/unRH7LdwC4Y\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-keep-a-dog-kennel-warm-in-the\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_keep_a_dog_kennel_warm_in_the_winter\"><\/span>How do you keep a dog kennel warm in the winter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most economical way to keep your doghouse warm is with simple long stem grass hay.
