Product Description
Beautiful and durable plastic dog house features up to 4" of real Styrofoam insulation in each panel for optimum comfort--cooler in summer and warmer in winter than look-alike dog houses without insulation. Thoughtful amenities include: Easy pass-through, self-closing door with window. Raised floor that provides a dry and warm bedding area. Sloped floor with drain hole that whisks liquid away from your pet's living area. Self-storing window panels that easily reposition from winter's closed position to summer's cross-ventilation position without tools. Durable plastic construction that cleans up easily with the water from your garden hose. Assembly Instructions Place floor panel on flat surface with round support rings facing down. Insert rear end panel into end of floor closest to the drain hole. Insert side panels into floor and rear end panel, front corner first. Place roof on side panels and slide into rear end panel. Screw two cap screws into rear end panel/roof assembly with a Phillips screwdriver. Insert front end panel assembly with door into assembly into floor. Repeat Step 4 cap screw assembly. Screw two screws into the pre-drilled holes at each end of the floor with a Phillips screwdriver.Manufactured in USA.

 Meets my dog's needs October 18, 2007

We've had this dog house for my yellow lab for almost 4 years. Very sturdy. It's been in the sun the whole time, but hasn't had any sun rot. The color has modified slightly, but that's all. Other than the slight color change it still looks brand new. She's mostly an outdoor dog, so this house is well used by her. During the winter she stays in it most of the time. There are times when our dog is inside our home but she'll ask to go outside so she can go in her house. We live in cold, snowy mountains--lots of skiing, so we're used to cold weather. Like the other reviewer, we use cedar chips inside--nice. I like the ideas the reviewer gave about modifying the house with foam. I think we might try that this winter to make it even more cozy. The door was frightening to our dog at first, but she got used to it and now she likes it. I like the window that can be removed in the summer. We might put carpet over those during the winter.
Solid, waterproof house November 14, 2006

Since it hasn't gotten too cold yet I can't comment on how warm it is. But it is definitely a well built, solid house. The pieces lock together in a way that keeps out water and even the windows have plastic covers. My dog is a little wary of the door and it takes coaxing to get her to use it. In nice weather I just prop it open. Overall, a great house and I think it should keep her toasty all winter!
 Pretty good, but some things you need to know first. August 24, 2006

Apparently my review will be the only one that exists on the planet about this thing. I searched high and low and could not find a comparable dog house. Either they are super expensive, or super cheap, and this one falls right in the middle, so I got one. I have a golden retriever and it is plenty roomy for him. I live in Nebraska where winters can be harsh, and it has served us well, BUT only with some modifications. Though the house is generally well insulated, there are a few pop-can-sized round indentations - apparently needed in the molding process - inside the house that provide no insulation at all. These, plus the two small windows, plus all the seams where it fits together, need to be filled or the house isn't going to hold heat. The good news is that this is easy to do. I bought a couple of cans of "Great Stuff," which you squirt into the holes and seams, and as it dries it swells to twice its size, which will shut out the cold. Note: put a line of the stuff along all assembly edges before you put it together so it expands within each seam. Assembly is pretty easy, by the way. Another major modification: I cut and attached a piece of carpet inside the door (double sided tape) to swing with the plastic door - the carpet is wider than the door. If this isn't done the gap between door and frame is too wide to effectively stop the wind. With these modifications, this is a snug house, and with cedar chips inside my dog is comfortable well below freezing. I know it sounds like some work, but it's better than spending twice the money.
Sounds Great But More Picture's Needed August 10, 2005

I don't have this item. But presentation is poor! Can I look inside the dog house for myself? Or must I imagine?
