If you decide to organize a personal area for your dog, you have 2 options - buy a bed for it or give preference to a house.

Let's figure out which of these is better to choose in your specific situation. 4 main criteria will help you with this.

How does your pet sleep?

The dog can curl up into a ball, put its head on something high, or sleep on its back with its paws spread out. By answering this question, you can choose the most comfortable place for your pet to rest.

What size is your pet?

If you have a large breed, like a shepherd, a house for it will cost more and require more space. If you have a small dog, for example, a Chihuahua, the choice of house will be much wider.

How old is your dog

If you are looking for a place for a puppy, be prepared for the fact that the baby will most likely chew on the new home and will prefer to sleep with you due to its need for human company. In this case, you can start with an inexpensive bed or a box with a mattress.

If your dog is already an adult and well-behaved, you can choose a house.

How sociable is your pet?

Assess your pet's sociability. Are there times when he prefers to be alone or constantly needs human interaction? Some dogs need their own space, and in this case, a closed house is a good choice.
