- Choose a location for the doghouse that is well-drained and not in a low-lying area where water can pool.
- Elevate the doghouse.
- Provide a covered entrance.
- Hang heavy curtains over the entrance.
- Use weather-resistant materials for the doghouse, such as treated wood or plastic.
- Seal any cracks or gaps in the doghouse with caulk or weatherstripping.
- Put a layer of gravel or mulch around the base of the doghouse to help with drainage.
- Provide a raised bed or cot inside the doghouse for your dog to sleep on, keeping them off the cold, wet floor.
- Place old towels or blankets in the doghouse for your dog to lie on. These can be easily removed and replaced when they get wet.
- Regularly check the doghouse for leaks and make any necessary repairs.
