Quick reminder: Dog houses are not climate controlled. If you’re leave your dog outside for any length of time in the summer make sure he has plenty of water, food, and shade. For winter months be sure to provide extra sources of heat, and when the temperature goes below freezing bring your dog inside.

    Looking at the Ranch Style dog house and the instructions say to see the diagrams at left for the pattern and dimensions for each piece. There doesn’t appear to be anything to the left to view. Is there another way to view these plans? Thanks in advance for the help.

    In my browser the diagrams show up under (not to the left like they imply) the photo of the dog house itself. Are those what you’re looking for?
