We recently acquired two outdoor only dogs and without a covered patio, I wanted something to keep them warm and dry. These doghouses do just that! They were extremely easy to put together and my two 50lb dogs easily have space to lay down and stretch out. I also felt better after researching houses that these are insulated and can keep them warm when our two weeks of winter hits. Also, after looking at other websites, Sam's was by far the cheapest for this brand and house I had seen. There is plenty of space for any bedding, we did not opt to purchase ASL's bedding yet and used our own. The plastic is great, as my puppies are wood chewers. The only slight notice we had when receiving this product was the way it was packaged turned the back of one of our doghouses a blue color, but since it is outside I am not going to fuss. Overall, very happy and anticipate it lasting the life of my dogs.

The price at Sam's Club was much more reasonable than any where else I could find. I bought this for my German Shepherd and live in Oregon. Because it stays warm inside, the heater would only be for extreme cold. The fan would be good for warmer weather in the summer months but not necessary here. I really like the option to open the triangle windows for ventilation and they screw in very easily right above. There is a video on the ASL web site that shows how to put it together. It was a little trickier than the video showed but I managed. Pictured is Carman with her new dog house.

I am very impressed with these dog houses and have purchased 3 of these so far. My dogs stay warm, dry, and love to stay in them. The bedding stays in due to the way the front construction is. Haven't had to clean yet as we're going thru winter now, but am VERY impressed and will buy more!

Update on 1st review. Got a small amount of snow with a wind. I felt inside the dog house where I had put a blanket. The past week all nice and dry, the snow tonight, blew right thru the doggie door and the first few inches of blanket has snow on it. For the amount we paid, this should not have happened. I even have the door facing the house, about 3’ from it and it’s still wet. I would love for someone to tell me how to rectify this .

This dog house is definitely worth every dime!! It was shipped quickly and took maybe 8 minutes to put together. We already had a doghouse heater and it fit perfectly. We added a good layer of hay on top and took 1/2 the door off as suggested. Our 11 year old dog was inside snuggly warm within a few minutes (I did throw a treat inside to lure her in). I have actually gotten inside the house to see if it was really as warm as they advertise and it is! Also I was worried about the size, but our dog (lab mix of around 60-70 lbs) fits comfortably with room to spare. I will probably buy the fan that fits it for summertime.

Specifications state : "2-4" of real foam (Styro/EPS) insulation in every panel" This is not what I thought I was ordering. In the pictures and videos I looked at, the insulation showed a full piece of foam insulation in the wall panels. When I opened the box, foam fill beads were everywhere. Two wall panels had the plugs pooped out and half the styro foam beads were in the box. And it was WAY too messy to try and fill the panel walls back up. I would not have bought this had I know it wasn't full length insulation panels.

We have only had the dog house for about a month but it seems to be well built & sturdy. It was super easy to assemble -- everything snapped together and then was a simple task to place the screws. One person could assemble it it easily. With two of us it took about 5 min. to put together. It looks to be quite easy to clean as well. There is a very slight tilt to the floor towards the drain hole which should help if you choose to hose it out. The plastic is at least -- if not more -- dense than the average child's outdoor playhouse. Also, because of the insulation the walls are pretty thick -- the inside is considerably smaller than the outside. So check the INSIDE measurements when picking the appropriate size for your dog. I was a little concerned about the size as it is recommended for med. to large dogs. Ours is definitely more of a large (Border Collie/German Shepherd) but it is a good fit. She sleeps indoors so it is only for protection from inclement weather. If she was outdoors all the time I would probably have wanted one a littlle larger. Since the door is a little different from anything she has been accustomed to, we removed the lower door as suggested by the manufacturer to encourage our dog to go inside. Now that she understands I am hoping she will still use it when we replace the lower section. Fortunately, our dog is not prone to chewing things that don't belong to her. The only (small) problem I can see is that -- if you have a dog that insists on chewing everything -- the edges around the door frame could be vulnerable. Overall, this is the nicest house of this size and price than any we saw elsewhere.

This fit my large male German Shepherd just fine. It is very warm. He would hop right in it on command after just one night. These make a "Dogloo" look like a joke. I'm not sure how Sams shipped this to me Fed-Ex for $5.00 but I'm not complaining. It was a great deal.

Well enginered with great features. Love the insulation & drain hole. If rain gets in it just drains out. Assembly is easy but the end panels wouldn't plug together. I eventually got them to push together, but there were some gaps I had to caulk. I blame it on possibly the panels warping. The floor heater worked well for one month then died. Even considering the problems I would still buy it again. There's just nothing out there that compares. Can't put the bottom part of the door on yet because the dog just won't use it with it on. It's a neglected dog down the road from me on a chain that had very little shelter. She's much better off now.

cannot buy the lumber to build a dog house this size for the price of this house. it looks good and took me 20 minutes to take it out of the boxes and put it together, 8 screws is all it takes. i ordered it on sunday and got it on wednesday and cost $6 to ship. it will last a long time
