[0021] The use of including, comprising or having and variations thereof herein is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items. The terms a and an herein do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced item. Further, the use of terms first, second, and third, and the like, herein do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but rather are used to distinguish one element from another.

[0022] Referring to FIG. 1 is an example diagram 100 depicting a pet house with a single inclined rooftop, in accordance with one or more exemplary embodiments. The diagram 100 is a pet house and 102 depicts the space on which the roof top is installed, side walls 104, front side wall 106 which has entry/exit 108. The pet house floor may be elevated from the ground or placed on the ground with good insulation. In case of flat inclined roof a single heating radiating roofing element is fixed. In all cases these roof on the top of space 102 panels rest on the walls of pet house and extended beyond the walls more so at eaves.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 2 is another example diagram 200 depicting a pet house having two roof tops with a ridge piece in the centre, in accordance with one or more exemplary embodiments. The diagram 200 includes the pet house 200 having 202a and 202b as places where two roof top heating panels can be placed with a ridge piece 204 in the centre, and the entry/exit 108. In all cases these two roof top panels 202a and 202b rest on the walls of the pet house and extended beyond the walls more so at eaves.
