I think a kenneled dog needs a bit more grub in winter to keep the weight on.

why would it be losing weight in eh kennel?,if my dog was in eh hoose or eh kennel...it would be getting eh same grub

20c in house -10c outside. Just common sense to me really. They gonna need a few more calories.

Agree - shivering the weight off to keep warm if it cold out. If the outside kennels are good, and draught free etc, it isn't a prob - but most are not enough to stop a dog from needing to use energy to keep warm

yer dog should not be in eh kennel shivering all night?

No, but not all kennels are draught proof, with decent bedding and a heat lamp. This time last month, the outside temp was -7 you tell me a crap outside kennel kept the dog warm !

If kennels kept dogs just as warm as inside then why do kenneled dogs have better coats???

 

No kennel is gonna be as warm as indoors.
