I've been having this dog house for 3 months now, and I got to say that this is the best thing I bought for my dog. I've put the house to the test with the recent cold weather and the tons of rain that California is experiencing, and it has been holding up very, very well. I check on my dog every night and everytime his ears are super warm. That gives me peace of mind to know that when I come home very late at night he will stay warm and dry. Totally recommend to all.

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

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.

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.

Easy to assemble and there are videos on YouTube for those of us who like visual instructions. I'm impressed at how tall this house is. Our dog is a lab/husky mix and has plenty of standing room. He has no trouble getting through the door, but training with treats could easily help others. Can't seem to get our stubborn dog to stay and sleep in the house. Hoping he'll figure out how warm and cozy he can be.

The unit snaps together poorly, which we had no idea that the unit would not come with screws for assembly. We have to have our dog house up against the wall of our home. If not our dog could bump into the back piece of the doghouse and it all would collapse. We expected with such a high price, that the product would be better. I am dissappointed in the purchase completely. The purchase came without any instructions too.

I have four of these -- Loved the first two so much, I ordered 2 more. My only complaint is the those 2 came with no assembly instructions or hardware. I went to site and contacted from website. No response. Went to hardware store and bought what I needed but ?????

This house was purchased for a growing 41#, 7 mo old pitbull pup. This went together within 20 minutes including opening the 2 boxes. The design/construction is very ingenious (like tongue and groove in woodworking), we left the bottom of the door off to start (as suggested) & opened the back window, & the air flow is great. (Still hot here) The pup took to the house immediately, when it gets hot, he goes into his house & looks out the door opening. Was really impressed with the door design. Best of all *Sam's Club price was 1/2 the price of two online pet stores. Received in 2 days after ordering. Low Shipping cost. Great purchase! ! !

I bought two of these about two weeks apart as gifts for my sister who has a cat rescue kennel in Michigan. Many of the animals are quite feral and this winter has been rough. These dog houses are large enough for all the cats to share the two of them without squabbles. There is a significant difference between the outside temperature and the temperature inside the houses. The cats are comfortable even at -20 degrees outside temperature. The door is too heavy for cats but if you remove the bottom half of the door it's just right, plenty of room to get in and out without letting in too much wind. Put some straw bedding in and you've got a wonderful nest for even the elderly cats who refuse to stay inside a home. The barn style roof keeps snow from building up on top and the raised entrance keeps the accumulating snow out and the straw and other bedding dry.
