BestPet 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

Bought for an abandoned cat. Have a dog so not able to take cat in. I started feeding and watering her, so pretty much hangs around quite a bit. Not too bad to assemble, seems quite sturdy and so far seems to be weatherproof. I filled it with straw for the winter. Would recommend, price comparable to others.

I took off one star because the assembly instructions weren’t clear and it took much longer than I remember (this is the fifth one I’ve purchased over the years). After assembly, I cut and fit thick sheets of styrofoam (saved back from various orders) into the sides, floor and roof using double faced tape. Our northern Indiana winters are tough for feral cats, and a new one or two always show up in addition to the four permanent residents (all spayed and neutered) that share my property. They’re pretty roomy and fairly solid and stand up to the wind - add heat mats to the floors and I sleep soundly knowing everyone has a good chance of making it through till spring.

These were so easy to assemble, the appearance is great and my girls love them! The material is sturdy and easy to clean! They dont weigh that much so your not going to break your back putting them together. I suggest having two people put it together for the sake of time and easiness. All in all i really am impressed with these for how inexpensive they are!!

Maybe I should give it 4 stars because it's not insulated but I got the small one on sale for less than $ 30 and I think it's great for that price. It is pretty sturdy when assembled and stays dry inside when it rains

Quick & easy, cozy dog house! Two small pups love it.

Very flimsy and thin material. Once all together it is fairly sturdy. Would not use for cold areas like up north.

It is an excellent product for a medium size dog.

This is a nice large dog house. It is actually so big I had to assemble it outside because it wouldn’t fit through the door. It is nice looking and easy to assemble. It seems to be quite sturdy; hopefully the plastic will not crack in cold weather.

It's a nice idea easy to put together and or take apart, shelter and shade for your furry baby summer spring and fall, looks cool too, not for out in the winter and snow though 👍👍

Great size for large breed dog and durable. Not completely rain proof but very little gets in and I'm satisfied with the overall size, quality a durability. My dog loves having her own house in her backyard. It's a large backyard and with this dog house, she seems to have an extra sense of security and comfort knowing she can go in her house for her alone time, with her toys. All together she's happy and that makes me happy.

Great product. Easy to out together

Arrived very quickly. Looks great all put together and our dog seems to like it.
