Measure the size of the litter based on your dog's size. Generally speaking, the length of the nest should be 10-15 cm longer than the dog's body length, and the width should be able to accommodate the dog turning around comfortably.
2. Prepare materials
According to the materials recommended above, prepare cloth, filling (such as sponge or cotton), needle and thread, scissors and other tools.
3. Cut the fabric
Cut out the fabric for the bottom and sides of the nest based on your measurements. The bottom can be double-layered for added durability.
4. Sew edges
Sew the fabric around the bottom and sides, leaving an opening for filling. After filling, sew the opening.
5. Decoration and reinforcement
You can add decorative edges to the edges of the nest, or fix it with ropes to prevent dogs from biting.
4. Precautions
When making and using a dog house, you need to pay attention to the following points:
| Things to note | Description |
|---|---|
| Clean regularly | Clean at least once a week to prevent bacterial growth |
| avoid sharp objects | Do not place sharp objects in the nest to prevent scratching the dog |
| Heating and ventilation | Keep warm in winter and ensure ventilation in summer |
| Right size | The size of the nest should be suitable for the size of the dog. Too big or too small will affect the comfort. |
