The Top 3 Reasons Why We Don't Have Air Conditioning at THE HOUND HUTT Explained
Over the last 7 years we have been asked a number of things and the one thing that is discussed in the summer months is that we need air conditioning. We thought we would answer this by detailing the top 3 reasons we don’t have air conditioning …
# 3 Reason - The Cost

We have looked into air conditioning and it would cost $25000 to install and then increase the running costs by $3000 per quarter. Because we have the summer heat for only 3 months of the year and we are ok for the rest of the year we can’t see the benefit in installing it and raising our prices accordingly.
# 2 Reason - The Health Of Our Dogs

Here is the thing, we (both dogs and humans) are adaptable creatures and studies show that we need to experience ranges of temperature to enable us adequately adapt to our changing environment. Studies also show that by spending long periods in air conditioning and not exposing our dogs and ourselves to the outside temperatures we are unable to easily handle anything else.
So when our dogs come out of air conditioning and you want to do activities, for example go to the beach or walks on the weekends, our dogs are not able to cope with the temperature because they have adapted to the cool one and they are more susceptible to shock, heat stroke and overheating.
Most of our dogs are not in air conditioning at home when their parents are not there so they need to be able to adjust themselves naturally. This is why we have fans for air movement, heaps of drinking water for hydration, pools for cooling water play, concrete floors and walls that stay cool for lying on and against and more relax time for everyone during the day. It is another reason that we have lunch time naps to ensure that everyone is cooling and drinking.
Please note: If you have a brachycephalic dog then our advice is to keep them cool and air conditioning is a good way to do this. We have referred some of our brachycephalic dogs to other dog daycares that have access to rooms cooled specifically for these breeds. If you want to know who we refer to then please ask and we will pass on their details.

# 1 Reason - The Health Of Our World

The main reason we don't have air conditioning at the HUTT is the impact it has on the world! Studies show that the more air conditioners that are being used in the world, the hotter the world is becoming (one of the factors for global warming). We don’t want to leave or operate with a large carbon footprint and we want to make sure we have and leave a habitable Earth for all.
After all 95% of our waste is recycled through Sustainable Salons, which you help us with through a % of your fees going to them to continue making the world a better place.
So we won’t be turning the Earth into more of an oven than it already is and one where our dogs can’t go outside and run and play without burning up or getting sick.
