Basic Dog Care - Housing
Your pet needs a
warm, quiet place to rest, away from all drafts and off the floor.
Short haired dogs
prefer to sleep on beds while long haired dogs sometimes do not prefer the
same. Do not be disappointed if your dog rejects the bed you make for him and
prefers to sleep on the floor instead.
You may wish to
buy a dog bed, or make one out of a wooden box. Place a clean blanket or pillow
inside the bed.
If your dog will
be spending a lot of time outdoors, make sure he has access to shade and plenty
of cool water in hot weather, and a warm, dry, covered shelter when it's cold.
