How to Build Heated and Insulated Dog Houses for Winter

Where I’m located, Winter is just around the corner.  It has been a pretty mild Fall so far, but I know that any day the weather could change and temperatures drop like a rock.  Last year, we were able to pamper our 3 farm dogs with heated blankets and let them inside if it got too cold.

This year, I want to try to make them a nice, cozy and warm dog house.  I have no idea what I’m doing as far as building things with wood.  I’ll probably just slap together some wood and insulation and be done with it.  I’m planning on using some Bluecor foam board insulation, hay and whatever else I can find.  Or perhaps I’ll follow one of the many plans that are available online.

On this post, I’ll provide links and videos to some of the best dog house plans out there.  Here are some dog house plans as I find them.  I’ll add and update this post every once in awhile so keep it bookmarked!
