Answer
It is best to keep guinea pigs indoors if possible, or at least in a garage or basement because they are very sensitive to the heat and cold. If they are kept in a hutch outdoors, just make sure the hutch is secured from wild animals and up off the ground so the dog can not get into the hutch.
