Q&A: Tiny Houses and Pets; Big dogs in a Tiny Home?

Reset A− A+ The other day I got this great question from a reader on the topic of tiny houses and pets (big dogs) so I thought I’d use it for a tiny house Q&A post.

Hey Alex and crew I was wondering as I’m in the very

beginning stages of starting my Tiny House, But I have pets I have 3

dogs to be exact they range in size from 45 pounds 65 pound to 120

pounds, as I don’t plan on parting with them, I was wondering what

others have done that seem to have bigger animals then say a cat a

tiny dog or a bird…..

Thank you

Big Dogs Living with you in a Tiny House?

Could You or Do You Live in a Tiny House With One or More Dogs or Pets?

Robert- thank you so much for the question. I’m not the best person to ask because I live and work full-time in a ~500-square-foot apartment that I share with my girlfriend and an 8 pound dog. So it’s a little different.

Do you live in a tiny house, small house, RV, houseboat, or other small space with larger dogs?

Is it easy to live with several large dogs in a tiny house that’s 100-200 square feet? How much space do you really need for big dogs?
