Whether you are equipping your own dog house ready for your pet to move in, or looking for suitable
products to give as gifts, there is a good range of dog house accessories
available.
Some of these dog house products are additions to the house itself and become part of the structure,
while others are add-on accessories designed more to improve the quality of life
for the dog (or dogs) living there.
The Dog House Accessory Top Five
Let’s look at some of the most popular aftermarket products and accessories for dog houses:
- Doors.
Probably the number one functional add-on product, doors help to keep the
warmth in – and the wind and rain out. The most popular version comes as a
frame with the flap doors ready fitted and is a breeze to fit.
- Insulation Kits.
An aftermarket insulation kit is an easy way to make an existing house more
comfortable for dogs. These add an air cavity plus foam insulation to the
inside walls and are very easy to fit.
- Name Plaques.
What could be a nicer accessory
for your dog house than a personalized name plaque mounted above the door or
planted in the ground beside it? These are great add-on products, whether
you buy one when you specify your doghouse, or get it later. They are a
great gift idea for any dogs you know – or their owners!
- Bed Warmers.
When it starts to get cold at
night, spare a thought for pooch outside and get them a bed warmer. These
are the most popular accessories for inside the doghouse.
There are quite a few different bed heating products to choose from, with
different sizes to suit different beds, and some that heat up more than
others.
Heated beds are great accessory products for any dog that sleeps outdoors,
but dogs with arthritis or any other aches and pains especially appreciate
them – as do dogs that are just getting a little long in the tooth.
By the way, although not technically a doghouse accessory, these same dogs
really appreciate it if you provide them with a ramp to help them in and out
of vehicles – or even to help them climb in and out of the water. These are
easily stowed away when not in use and may be fixed size or telescopic
depending on how long a ramp is required.
- Food And Water Containers.
The type of containers you need for food and water outdoors is different
from those you use indoors. For one thing they need to be heavier so they
don’t get blown away, and bowls outside do tend to get dirtier so ease of
cleaning is something to consider.
The most popular canine catering products bought as accessories for
doghouses are stainless steel bowls. These are heavy, tough and hygienic and
are easy to clean. You can get versions with mounts to make them more stable
– and even heated versions to stop the water freezing in the winter!
Finally, for the dog that has everything, there is what we might call ‘The Ultimate Accessory.’ If you
want your pet to live in comfort no matter what the weather, you can now get an
add-on that provides complete climate control. The ThermAssure 2500 combined
heating and cooling unit includes a powerful 2100 BTU heater and a 2500 BTU
compressor.
The unit is positioned outside the doghouse and pipes hot or cold air into the house through pipes.
Everything is included in the accessory kit – even a top quality door to make
sure the perfect environment is preserved inside the house.
With the growing popularity of dog houses being bought for dogs of all shapes and sizes across the country,
it’s not surprising that there has been similar growth in the number of dog
house products available. With all these great accessory products available
online from reputable suppliers you will surely be able to find just the right
house warming gift for the dogs in your life.
