The Natura dog house from Trixie features extra high feet that protect the animal from ground cold and dampness. It also ensures good air circulation. The feet have an additional plastic covering that protects them from persistent moisture. The weatherproof gable roof with an overhang protects against rain and drafts. The wood of the house is glazed pine, which is weatherproof and winterproof. The dog house is easy to clean and quick and simple to assemble. It should not be too large, as the dog creates a comfortable and warm climate with its own body heat, which it can only maintain in a suitably sized space. If the house is too large, there is a risk that the dog will quickly get cold. Please note: Without maintenance, wood can dry out and become brittle or warp, and it may become unsightly. Therefore, ensure regular basic cleaning and treatment of your small animal shelter or dog house. Stables and houses intended for outdoor use should be treated accordingly. Please use animal-safe wood care or wood stain products for this purpose.
