Are dog houses cruel? I guess it depends where in the world you live. I’m sure some people force their dog to sleep outside when it’s far too cold.
Better dog houses would help and why not one heated with geothermal energy?
This dog house comes from Miller Pet Products and is made with up to 20% recycled materials.
Here’s what they say;
The design of this unique “21st Century Eco-Friendly” underground dog house takes advantage of the Earth’s own natural temperature control system. The indestructible shell is partially buried to create, not only a natural den habitat preferred by dogs, but is also then cooled in the Summer and heated in the Winter, naturally.

What do you think? A good idea? Too hard to dig into the garden? Too hard for the poor dog to get in and out of? Or just ideal as a space-saving and warming alternative to the usual dog house?
How does it drain water and what preparation must be done to install this so the dog is not sleeping in stagnant water? How hard is it to clean? Is it sanitary? How does the plastic hold up to UV? is this on the market yet?
