1. Will my dog chew the HoundHouseTM ?
Most animals find the proofing in the canvas of the HoundHouseTM dog kennel very distasteful. This is not dangerous to your dog. If you have a problem dog we suggest training, stop chew sprays & food chew toys. Remember your the pack leader, act like one, growl at your pack when bad, praise when good.
2. Will it be too cold or hot?
The canvas material has a thermal breathing insulation quality that cannot be reproduced with tin, wood, plastic or nylon. The HoundHouseTM also comes with a canvas tie-in scratch resistant mat for extra comfort, on top of the comfy fiberglass mesh slung floor. A HoundHouseTM door is available for the colder areas. This is what makes the HoundHouseTM the most comfortable hygienic kennel available on the market for your mate.
3. My dog digs
The canvas mat is scratch resistant, that is, the proofing in the canvas waxes up causing a glaze over the surface. If this is a problem give your dog something to move around inside the kennel, eg. old blanket or towel & if a problem is foreseen add a piece of carpet to the base. Again use the growl.
4. How waterproof is it?
The manufacturers of the material suggest reproofing every 6-12 months depending on the conditions the material is subjected to. HoundHouseTM recommends that it be proofed whenever it's deemed necessary. Canvas proof sprays can be purchased from camping & hardware stores everywhere (3-10 years veranda life).
5. Warranties & guarantees
The HoundHouseTM is like most pet products with no warranties or guarantees other than manufacture of a faulty product.
6. My dog won't sleep in that!
Heard it too many times & it's probably true with most timber, tin, or plastic kennels. A dog has a natural instinct to sleep in a den like situation with a hollow for its belly in the floor, this is why the HoundHouseTM works so well. The floor sinks in the middle to allow for belly curl & the canvas hood means nothing can sneak up from behind. This makes your canine feel safe & comfortable, even in thunder storms. |
