The disadvantage of pressure-treated wood is that it contains dangerous chemicals, which are harmful to your dog.

SOURCE: If I don't heat or cool down my dog house with an air conditioning unit, is it dangerous for my dog?

Obviously it depends how extreme the temperatures are where you live, but in general when dogs seriously overheat, they are at risk of a stroke and when they get dangerously cold, they are at risk of hypothermia and frostbite.

SOURCE: Can you buy Dog Houses that are made from plastic instead of wood?

If you are looking for a dog house that is cheaper and maybe less sturdy than a wooden dog house, there are a lot of plastic dog houses on offer. Take a look at the Walmart website: http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=plastic+dog+house

Are they dangerous to dogs?

Yes, very dangerous as are all rawhide chews. They also get lodged in their throats. We had to reach into our dog's throat to remove the rawhide. That was scary and we will never buy a rawhide product again!

How to build a Dog Cabin Dog House

You can use your creativity with this but I have discovered that landscaping timbers make a great log cabin for dogs. It is cooler in the Summer and warm in the Winter. I set mine on concrete blocks but a solid foundation would be nice as well. I framed the floor with 3/4 inch plywood and treated 2x4's and tied every log with 6 inch lag bolts.Each log had 4 lag bolts which run into the wood below. In between the logs I ran a line of liquid nails to seal the cracks as well as give it more strength and weather proof it. I filled it with cedar chips for both comfort for my doggies as well as insect repellent. I chose a standard house style roof frame and metal roofing but you could do shingles just as easy. I am happy to now have an all weather dog house on a permanent location at half the cost of having a not so well built pre-made dog house. I hope this inspires someone else as well. My dog cabin shown here is 8'4" square.

Is vegetable glycerin dangerous to dogs?

Vegetable Glycerin serves as a sweetener and also protects the food against mold. It also is a byproduct left over from soap and biofuels production. It is ranked as a generally safe item but I wouldnt feed my dog that. If you also notice that your dog is not responding well to it, i would stop from feeding them that.

I want to build a dog house for my little dog but don't know if to use plastic or wood. What's a better option?

I would definitely use wood as the prime material to build a dog house. First and foremost wood will keep your dog warm in the winter. Secondly, it is much easier to build wooden dog houses compared to plastic.

Yes you can build your own dog house, but only if you have the tools necessary and a few basic DIY skills particularly with wood. Watch this tutorial on YouTube which gives a really detailed outline of how to build an insulated dog house. Good Luck!
