When choosing a dog kennel, you should pay attention to comfort and warmth. The first thing is to pay attention to choosing the fabric of the dog kennel. Most of the fabrics in the kennels on the market include pure cotton, acrylic, and velvet cloth, and the fillings are mainly: sponge, cotton, and PP cotton. Of course, if you want to choose, pure cotton fabric is definitely the first choice. First, it is not easy to produce static electricity because the sensitivity of animal organs is much higher than that of humans, so try to avoid some irritating things. Then pure cotton is healthier and does not easily produce harmful substances; second, it is velvet cloth, which is also very warm and comfortable; acrylic fabric is the least recommended, because acrylic is cheap and the dog kennel is relatively cheap, but it is easy to tie knots after contact with acrylic. The filling is best for PP cotton, which keeps warm and can be air-dried quickly; secondly, choose pure cotton, which is good for warmth and health, but it is inevitable that the doghouse will get some urine, which is not easy to dry and decay; finally, there is a sponge, which is soft, has better warmth and is the cheapest price. When choosing a doghouse, in addition to keeping warm and comfortable, the most important thing is to choose something that is easy to clean. Wooden kennels are easier to clean. If it is a large dog, you can choose wooden kennels first. If it is a cotton kennel, it is best not to have too many accessories. The simple kennel appearance is often easier to clean. The shells of some kennels are removable and can be more convenient. To sum up two points, try to choose wooden ones as much as possible. If dirty, you can use a brush and water to wash them directly; choose small dogs mainly for simplicity and practicality, and minimize accessories. The market mainly includes round and square pit-shaped doghouses.

When choosing a doghouse, you can pay more attention to details. After meeting the above two requirements, we can pay more attention to some additional functions of the dog kennel. Nowadays, dog kennels are emerging one after another, and their functions are complex and diverse. We still follow a principle of practical priority, try to choose a doghouse with practical functions and not easily consumed, and try to buy a variety of patterns and colors, beautiful appearance but not practical enough. Dogs are all naughty. If the quality is not good, it is easy to lose weight. Moreover, the dog has poor eyesight, so no matter how good it looks, it will not understand it, haha.

Another thing is to talk about the internal settings of the doghouse. Generally, you can lay a warm and comfortable cushion. The cushion has several characteristics: it must be good water absorption, good warmth, easy to clean, etc. You can wrap old clothes at home with pillowcases, which is more practical and convenient.

The last point is the size of the dog's kennel. This is mainly a little larger than a dog. You can communicate more with the seller and decide to buy based on the dog's body size. Large dogs are mainly made of wooden, while small dogs are mainly made of cloth velvet.
