Insulated dog shelter
Models with a controlled insulation layer and a complete thermal transmission estimate. The estimate is not a temperature guarantee and does not claim the house is safe to any temperature.
- Insulation must sit behind a lining the dog cannot chew.
- A service roof makes drying and cleaning easier.
- Regulatory thresholds for commercial kennels are not universal safe temperatures.
- Heated models accept only purpose-built animal heating products.
