Why is climate control important in dog kennels?
Proper climate control ensures that dogs remain comfortable and healthy by maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels, which helps prevent heatstroke, hypothermia, and respiratory issues.
What temperature should I maintain inside the kennel?
For adult dogs, temperatures between 65°F and 70°F are adequate. In whelping areas and nurseries, room temperatures can be between 70°F and 75°F, with surface temperatures where puppies are located at 90°F during the first week, decreasing by 5°F each subsequent week until reaching 70°F.
How does humidity affect kennel environments?
Maintaining appropriate humidity levels (ideally between 40% and 60%) helps prevent the growth of bacteria and mold, ensuring a healthier environment for dogs.
What are the risks of inadequate climate control in kennels?
Poor climate control can lead to health issues such as respiratory problems, heatstroke, hypothermia, and increased stress levels in dogs.
