Having a heated dog house, will keep them warm this winter especially on those cold nights. If you have an outside dog with a job, such as guarding your home or business, they need to stay warm, hydrated and fed.
Keeping them warm means either access to the warm indoors or access to a heated dog houses. You can simply add a heated outdoor bed to your present dog house, or you can invest in one that comes with the heat.
