Protect your wooden pet house
from daily wear
Remove bedding, hair and food scraps regularly
Keep the house dry and elevated above ground
Reduce cracking, warping and color fading
Check floor, roof, doors and inner corners
Outdoor wooden pet houses are constantly exposed to rain, strong sunlight, humidity, dirt and pet waste.
Without regular care, wood will suffer from mold, warping, cracking, bad odor and insect infestation. Damaged wood not only shortens product lifespan, but also creates unsafe living conditions for your furry friend.
Follow this routine to extend the life of your wooden pet house
Remove bedding, food scraps and pet hair completely.
Remove wet bedding after rain. Keep the floor elevated so water can drain underneath.
Place the house in partial shade in summer to limit cracking, warping, and color fade.
Inspect the floor, roof, doors, and inner corners. Tighten screws and replace worn seals.
Apply a pet-safe, water-repellent coating each season on seams, porch edges, and the roof line.
