History of Dog House Repair Month

During 12,000 B.C., the Chinese domesticated dogs and used them for several purposes. Dogs were used as a food source, exemplary hunting allies, and even as a sacrifice to the gods. While these traditions still exist in some parts of the world, other nations place great focus on giving dogs the status they deserve as man’s best friend. And since we love dogs so much, it is all but natural to ponder upon how we can make their lives more comfortable.

This is why Dog House Repair Month was formed in the year 2000. The founder of the day is Heidi Richards Mooney, a social media consultant and publisher of “WE Magazine for Women.” The formation of the month, however, has an intriguing story of its own. Formed to market Heidi’s

retail florist shop, the idea behind the initiative was to push people into doing something special for their furry friends. Over the years, it evolved into something much bigger — it addressed the need for building and repairing dog houses. This is essential, especially in July, since the weather is super hot and can cause heatstroke in dogs if they are not provided proper care.

But where did this idea of creating a house for dogs come from? The first building that was made for a dog was a tombstone that dates back to 2589–2566 B.C. in Egypt. According to historic sources, Egyptians also created dog houses in the form of mud huts to provide shade to hunting dogs. From thereon, the typical dog house evolved. Today, dog houses have fans, food bowls, water bowls, and other additions that are formulated to provide dogs with a comfy life.
