That depends. A wooden dog house with insulation in the sides would be warmer than an igloo dog house. However it is generally accepted that the igloo house is considered warmer than a regular wooden house. You do need the appropriate size and you will want some sort of warm bedding. If you can create a door or flap for it, that will help as well. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
