A dog house is essentially a small shed which is built into a shape
of a little house with a triangular roof. It is the shelter to which
the dog runs into for safety from either the natural elements or when
he feels he is at risk. Dog houses are made primarily with wood which
are treated to keep parasite infestation at bay. But did you know that
dog houses have their own history, too? The History of Dog Houses: Dogs
have always been popular companions of men even during the years 4500
BC. Egyptians are just one of the known people who domesticated dogs
and built them their own homes. Dogs enjoy an esteemed position as pets
and hunting partners even during that time. Others were considered
messenger of the gods. Egyptians used to build kennels made of mud and
brick for the dogs. These kennels are the first recorded dog houses in
history. Materials Used in Building Dog Houses: Wood is the
prevalent material used for building dog houses over the years. Wood is
readily available, is low costing, has great insulating capabilities
and has good structural reliability. Plastic dog houses became
available during the 1960’s. These plastic dog houses are portable and
can be transferred from one place in the house to another. Designs also
range from the simple replica of a small house to extravagant castle
designs. This really is a far cry from the first mud and brick kennels
of before! Whatever the materials used to make the house, the
function is the same - to keep the dog warm and sheltered away from the
elements. It is important that the dog does not overheat and you should
provide water and food for him as appropriate. |
