Enhancing your pet’s quality of life starts with his home. At Petmate®, we offer a diverse selection of shelters, including the Aspen Pet® line, to ensure that your precious pooch is protected from the elements. And guess what? Our shelters never need painting, and are rot and mold-resistant! What more could you ask for?

Questions you should ask yourself prior to purchasing a shelter:

1. How to size your dog correctly?

2. Do you want a dog house for indoor or outdoor use?

3. What type of weather will the house be used in?

To size your dog house correctly:

• Be sure your dog can stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably in the house.
• If the shelter is too big, he won’t stay warm enough.
• If the shelter is too small, your dog won’t be comfortable in his house.

The most common styles of dog houses we offer include the traditional barn-style plastic shelters and the dome (igloo) style plastic shelters.

Traditional Barn Style Plastic Shelters:

• Imitates traditional barns with attractive roofline adaptations of wood and shingle textures.
• Features door overhangs that help keep out rain and divert it away from the entry.
• Have raised floors with moats along the walls so that liquid drains off to the sides.
• Best suited for milder climates outdoors, but is ideal for indoor use as well.
• Are built with rear vents to keep the air inside fresh.
• Assemble with a quick, easy, snap-together design. No tools are required.
