One of the key elements to also pay good attention to in a pet house is the doorway. The door has to be large enough for the dog to easily access or exit the house, but not so big that it leads to overexposure to outside temperature and excessive heat loss or the other way around.

Unlike humans, dogs can get used to doors that are smaller than their total height, they have no issue with having to bow down to enter their house. How big a door should exactly be? Well, there are those rules which they say do help in this matter. The first one is that the door height should be at least ¾ of the dog’s height up to the shoulder. The second say that the dog’s height from top of shoulder to the bottom of the chest should be no less than 1″ smaller than the opening. But regardless of these rules, you can always opt for a bigger door, just bear in mind that insulation will deteriorate.
