Doghouse

[3] During the Industrial Revolution, economies of scale allowed manufactured doghouses to become a standard commercial product that could be sold to the mass market.

[6] This allowed the creation of organizations like the humane society and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), which have set standards of care for dogs that live outdoors including a properly designed doghouse that is structurally sound, weatherproof, insulated, of adequate size and appropriate for the dog's use, at all times.

[8] A wide variety of materials are used to make doghouses, including: hardboard, hard wood, plywood, and plastic.

[9] Recent advancements in technology have led to the development of smart dog houses, which offer features such as temperature control, automatic doors, and environmental monitoring.

These smart shelters can automatically adjust temperature, humidity, and air quality to ensure pets' comfort, with some models also allowing remote control via mobile apps.
