I use this for rescued puppies at 5+ weeks old depending on their size. I installed an electric "Hound Heater" which keeps it nice and warm inside in all weather. I ran the cord through the wall of the dog house. The insulation is actually small balls of foam so once I cut a hole they went everwhere. I put some spray foam in hole and cut it again for the cord to go through. The puppies have chewed on the corners some but it is tough and they have not done much damage. I built a wood ramp that helps small puppies go in and out. Some litters immediatelly go in and out the door and ramp. Some (especially really small ones) take some practice and training. They figure it out quicker when it is freezing outside but I do have to be careful they are all in for the night. I don't usually put bedding in so that they won't soil the inside. They learn real quick to go outside.

I have not had this dog house very long but my first impression is that it is of high quality. Certainly Sam's Club had the best price by far. You should read the assembly instructions entirely beforehand, especially if you are not installing the heater, to save yourself some unnecessary steps. Assembly could have been a little better and instructions could have been a little more clear. I must say that it took very little time to assemble it, though. The door needs to have a mechanism to keep it open when desired. I am anxious to see how the plastic holds up in the sun and cold. For a tight, insulated dog house with a floor you can't beat the price. I expect it will be pretty much maintenance free as well.

Was easy to put together but screws were confusing so I watched a video on how to put it together. That helped. It's great house once you get it together the right way. I put heating pad in and was concerned it would get messed with. You have to watch them few times make sure they don't mess with heating pad. But I was glad it was made out of hard plastic. My great Pyrenees loves it. It's a plus for me

We bought this for our dog just in case she had to be outside while we were away for more than 4 hours or so. It is 48"x31"x39" outside, 35"x24"x32" inside (I crawled in to measure) and the opening is 15 1/2"x18" and 12" off the ground to keep rain and snow from getting inside. It has plenty of room for a dog to stand up and turn around. If it gets dirty you just hose it off both inside and out. It is very light and easy to move as the insulation is small styrofoam beads sealed inside the walls. It is well constructed and would keep a dog warm in the winter if there was bedding inside and in the summer it would not be too hot.

We have an outdoor husky and live in Minnesota with extremely cold winters. I have extensively researched for the absolute best dog house and this is it. Easy to put together, well made, and extremely warm. My dog loves it which gives me so much peace of mind.

Bought for 2 dogs. One dog is large and the other med. If both were to use it, it would be cramped. Only the smaller one will go inside. She seems to really like it. Problem we had though is the side walls appear to be too short to attach thru the pre-drilled holes into the base. So it easily comes apart or falls over if the big dog hits it. It does seem to offer good insulation for the colder weather.

this was easy to assemble. Our dog learned to use the door in just a few hours. Best value I have seen in a dog house.

This is the warmest doghouse ever! Double insulated and elevated off the ground, the thick insulated panels and door keep my pooch dry and warm. I also love the fact that it has removable windows for light and ventilation. Easy to assemble too!

I love it & dog loves it! Stays warm inside with straw. Was a little finicky to put together but not too bad. Im a girl that did it on her own. Does sometimes form little ice on door from condensation so just need to check on that.

I like it very much but I can’t figure out how to take the bottom half of the door off so my puppy will go in. Any idea would help. Thank you very much. Wookie 29
