Make sure that you will place the cage near the house, a large building, or a shed, in a place protected from the wind. The purpose of a dog cage is to protect the animal in bad weather, rain, or snow, but also from the cold. In addition, it is essential to check the cage for any cracks or holes where wind or precipitation could enter. Thermal insulation helps to maintain an optimal temperature inside the dog cage. It can distinguish between a winter with bearable temperatures and a frosty one that would cause discomfort even for your dog.
