How to choose the right size Hide River house? 📐🐕

Choosing the right size indoor house is essential for your dog’s well-being. Unlike humans, dogs don’t crave huge, open spaces – their ancestors slept in safe, snug dens. If the house is too large, your dog may feel anxious inside, as they can’t “control” the space or warm it with their own body heat. If it’s too small, they won’t be able to settle in comfortably.

💡 Golden rule: Your dog must be able to stand up normally, turn around, and lie down comfortably with legs stretched out inside the house.

Before purchasing, measure your dog’s height (from the ground to the top of the head/ears when sitting or standing) and check the three sizes below from the Hide River collection:

💡 Tip:

If your dog is right on the border between two sizes in terms of measurements and weight (e.g., 18 kg and taller), we recommend choosing the larger size (M) to ensure maximum comfort during sleep.
