Choosing the right dog house is essential to your pet’s comfort. Ideally, it should be large enough for your dog to enter and turn around, yet small enough to allow their natural body heat to warm the space. Also, the door should be sized correctly to prevent cold air from blowing in while your pet is entering and exiting. Lastly, it should be raised off the ground to keep your dog dry.
This insulated dog house offers the perfect balance of size and features. The rounded shape is designed to use your dog’s own body heat to keep them warm, while the long entranceway further helps to protect against wind and snow. Its igloo style allows rain and snow to drain off the roof, and its raised feet help to keep the floor dry. Its thick timber wood, styrofoam and plywood construction helps to protect your pet from the harshest winter weather.
The house is a good choice for larger dogs (up to 100 pounds) and is easily cleaned by hosing down the removable floor and roof. The walls are four inches off the ground and have insulation in the ceiling and walls to keep your pup warm in the winter while providing a cooler place to rest on warmer days.
The double-hinged door is positioned at about 11 inches off the ground, so it may be difficult for senior dogs or those with mobility issues to enter the house. The house is also not as durable as other models, and it needs to be regularly checked for moisture inside. However, many customers report that their pets love the house and it has provided a comfortable home for them while they are outdoors.
