Dog House Indoor Outdoor Insulated Kennel Durable Plastic Dog House for Small Medium Large Dogs Weather & Water Resistant Pet Crate with Air Vents and Elevated Floor

I have a feral mommy and her last remaining kitten in my backyard. I started feeding them a couple of months ago and of course, they are not leaving now. I live in Indiana and the weather has started to get quite chilly. Typically the cats take shelter under my patio, which is huge, however, I wanted to give them the option of a cozy sleeping space and keep them out of the element as much as possible. Putting the house together was easy once I figured out which way to snap in the roof piece to the center piece of plastic. After that, it was just a matter of aligning and snapping the pieces together. Next, it was time to screw the pieces together. I like the fact that it is raised. The house appears sturdy enough, I haven't put the two stakes down just yet because I wanted to ensure the placement of the house. Now that I have the house in its proper place I can stake it to the ground, even though I am pretty sure it's not going to go anywhere. I lined the bottom of the house with a nice amount of straw. On top of that, I laid down two thick throws and then on top of that a self-heating thermal cat bed. In order to entice the cats to the house I sprinkled a small amount of catnip. The cats being curious sniffed around and investigated before deciding to enter the house. It took the kitten who is about 7-8 months old now, about an hour before she decided it was safe to go inside. Mom followed shortly thereafter. Day 2: When I looked out around 8 this morning, mom was in the house snuggled up. I fed the cats, and they played around in the back. It's 10:30 a.m. now and they are back inside the house snuggled up together. Buying this house was money well spent. I cannot bring them inside and I don't want to call animal control because I know what they do to cats they are unable to adopt out, so I am doing what my heart feels is right. I am so happy that I decided to allow them the chance to get cozy before it gets much colder. I have purchased a door flap, to keep extra wind and chill out as much as possible. Up next, I will purchase a proper water and food bowl. I recommend this dog house! Update: 10/20 - The only downfall with this particular dog house is that there is no overhang to cover the door opening. When it rains the bedding on the front gets damp, not terribly damp but enough that the cats don't want to sit inside. With that being said, it holds up pretty darn good without letting excess water in anywhere else in the house. The cats still use it, which is exactly what I wanted it for. I added a door flap and was happy that it screwed into the house easily. This was done to keep excess wind off of the little furbabies. I have now created another space for my feral cats to use during the cold season and it just warms my heart to be able to do something for them. Happy cat mommy

This is a dog house I got for my Schiz Tsu. It's made of sturdy plastic that will handle any kind of weather - rain, snow, sleet, sun etc. It was unfortunate that Johnnie has never used it as he's 15 yrs old and apparently prefers the elements of the outside. The dog house has been outside in all kinds of weather and the colors haven't faded at all. Very easy to pick up and carry.

Sturdy and Easy assembly about 40mins, my min pin loves it..

I bought this for my 3 chihuahuas to live in. It was way bigger than I was expecting, which is good!!! It was fairly easy to put together as well and I did it by myself. Only the roof was a little tricky. I've been testing it out before letting my dogs live in there and I must say that those vents do nothing for air circulation. I recommend cutting into the vent slots and widening the hole. I put a reflective tarp on the roof of the house to keep extra heat away from it. I will be buying a fan or portable air conditioner to go inside of it to further cool down my dogs. I might add a window on the side. As it stands, this is a great house, just lacks insulation.

I like this dog house it’s sturdy

I got this as a better price & size alternative for cat outdoor shelters I was seeing. We have about 10 strays that are a family and stay around our house. The material is easy to rinse off and has held up against some big rain so far. Wanting to get the door flap attachment but so far has been great for multiple cats to be in at once. I will repurchase a second closer to winter when more of them are sticking around. The size can fit 2 adult cats comfortably, three to four if they cuddle up. A momma and her 5 babies slept inside for several nights. I would recommend for sure. Assembly was a little difficult as I was putting it together by myself with no assistance. But once I had figured out the base I got it done within an hour. It is a plastic so just be mindful about warping if you order in the super heat summer and leave it in the box a few days, mine had just a touch of warp in one of the walls but easily fixed and hasn’t caused any issues since. This is also a good weight, not flying off in the wind, though I do recommend adding maybe a weighted blanket or something for animal comfort but also just to be safest.

Serves its purpose. It has a practical design. However, the measurements need to be recalculated. The front and back walls are off by at least 1/4", therefore, I forced the corners into place but had to cut off some tabs that should have fit into the base (floor). Everything else came together okay. I insulated the walls, floor, and ceiling. This is the third of this design I have assembled.

I really like this dog house. It was easy to put together and the quality is great. It’s a perfect size for my 10 lb dog. It stays cool in hot weather and is a good shelter for cold and rainy weather.
