Bring on the cold weather!

Does your dog need a place to chill when the temperatures start to drop? A heated dog house is exactly what you're looking for. Not only is it adorable, but the setup won't inhibit your pup's much-needed outdoor time. These weatherproof structures are either insulated or have a built-in heating system ready to keep your pet warm during the colder fall and winter months.

As with all home goods, make sure to check the dimensions—which we've already laid out for you—to ensure the outdoor home away from home is a comfortable size for your dog. And in case you've tried something similar outside before and your bud isn't a fan, keep scrolling and you'll see that we also included a heated outdoor pad your dog will love to sprawl out on. Just remember, the pad is regulated for your pet's specific body temperature, so don't start cuddling with heated or weighted blankets of your own as this may harm your dog. With all that in mind, let the dog house hunting begin!

To say this wooden insulated dog house is cute would be an understatement. It's made with durable, weather-resistant materials and there's even a wooden feeder on the side with two bowls for treats and water.

Want something seamless without breaking the bank? Here's a smart dog house that'll heat up at the touch of a button. It has a versatile built-in heating and cooling system you can use the entire year. Oh, and don't worry about it getting too hot as it automatically shuts off when it reaches a certain temperature.

Then again, are you interested in balling out for your best pal? Here's a dog house with stunning cabin vibes that'll make you want to go on a cabin getaway of your own. It's also designed with an eco-friendly material made out of reclaimed wood and plastic that's completely non-toxic and doesn't absorb moisture. In short, it'll last for years!

Next, is a bigger option constructed out of heat-insulating materials. It's ideal for big dogs and the roof is detachable making it much easier to clean.

Finally, is the floor inside or outside just too chilly for your dog? Or does your dog never want to get inside the dog house? Try this heated pad boasting water-resistant orthopedic foam that dries quickly and can weather any elements that come its way.

The short answer is yes, but limit time outside in freezing 32-degree winter temperatures. Additionally, take any shivering, whining, or lack of movement as a sign that it's time to go back in.

Heated pads designed for dogs are totally a go. They're designed with low voltage and match a canine's figure. However, you can't use heated blankets for people with your pup. These aren't interchangeable as the pet owner's blanket isn't compatible with the dog's body temperature.
