When we first got our dog, we felt bad for her being locked up in her crate all day, so a family member gave us a kennel and we put a kiddie pool in it, one of these dog houses and a water bowl. We put in some blankets and a toy for her and she loves her kennel now. It is also very easy to assemble. It took me like five minutes to put together. I am getting another one for our deck. It is also very light and easy to move. You can just drag it across the lawn and put it wherever you want. I have recommended it to a few friends and their dogs love it.

I just bought an X-Large for my Lab-chow-akita-dachsund-sharpeii-corgi-hog mix. She weighs about 75 lbs. and fit right in.
I bought a pool for her to keep cool this past summer and she wouldn't go near it. But, when I brought home the igloo, she went right in and curled up comfortable and warm!
I looked at other styles of dog house for her, mainly based on aesthetics, but the igloo seems to be the best possible design solution to keep her warm/cool and dry.
Couldn't be happier.

I recently bought this dog house for my mini labrador since she outgrew her former house. She LOVES her IGLOO. She sleeps in it all the time and loves to take some of her toys in there. I bought a pad but because she is still a puppy, she started chewing on it. Now I use 3 large soft bath towels which I put in the igloo and she loves it! Great dog house!

The mid sized "igloo" is just right for our Corgi and after asking the advice of one of the stores dog people, tried putting our dogs favorite bed in the house along with a treat so that it would seem like "her house". Instant success! She slept in it the first night it was in her backyard and seemed to be perfectly happy with it. I was concerned about the entire thing as she is a little picky and had never had a dog house. She was always happy to sleep outside with just her bed regardless of the weather.
The house is very well made, goes together easily and apears to provide good protection. I would buy another and I would highly reccomend it to my friends and other Corgi owners.
The store folks were very helpful to me. It is always easy to shop at this store and a pleasure to deal with those that work there.

i've had our dog house for 15 years it's been a great house. It's now time for a new one, but we are going to still keep this one just incase another dog walks up into our lives!

I use the x-large for my male great dane who lives on in a tie-out as a guard dog in my front yard. This keeps him cool when it's hot and warm when it's cool and windy. He also uses this for shelter in the rain, and he almost always sleeps in it at night. One thing's for sure, Gator loves his igloo! It is very durable, even when he chews on it!

I have an igloo that is about 15 years old that is very sturdy and all the clasps are fine. It has been taken apart and cleaned numerous times with no trouble. The vent is the screw up type and works fine. The dogs were not able to chew it up.
But I bought another igloo last year that the dogs chewed severely around the door and two of the clasps have snapped off from taking it apart. Also, the vent is louver type and is falling out of the hole. The company must have changed manufacturers and the results have not been good.

We got this dog house about 4 years ago and it's been great. It has survived a Saint Benard through 4 years of hot summers and cold winters. I'm buying a second unit because after all the weathering, the plastic does get brittle and the dog has started to chew on the entrance. I think a wooden dog house would have been eaten long ago. So I'm sold...I hope this helps.

I bought this for my dog for when he went outside. He didn't use it. He did, however chew on it, leaving tooth marks.
Pros: water tight
Cons: cheap plastic, isn't used by dog

My Beagle seems to do OK with the Large Petmate Igloo doghouse that I bought for him in January of this year. However, I don't believe I would buy another one. The two problems that I have noted are: 1. The vent in the top is poorly designed and provides limited ventilation and will not seal off completely when in the closed position. 2. The tabs that lock the top piece to the bottom are brittle and break off when you try to take the top off. I just took the top off for the second time in 10 months, and broke the remaining 3 tabs off. I had to install some metal clasp to keep the two pieces together.
Pros: light weight, will not rot

We bought one of these for our new Pitbull puppy and he immediately loved it. We placed his bed inside and he did not hesitate to make himself at home. Even though we keep it under the back porch, it provides him with plenty of shelter and security. The store manager snapped it in place for us before we left the store and we had no problem carrying it to the backyard.
We highly recommend this product!

My only complaint about the dog-loo is it doesn't come with a door. The ones you can purchase (but I haven't seem them at PetSmart) are flimsy and plastic. With harsh winters, this isn't sufficient for our dog.

We bought the large size for our two 70lb labs and they both slept in it in the winter and it kept them warm and dry. It is difficult to move because of its awkward shape but it was possible to take it apart to clean. The little plastic door cover was immediately chewed off but we ended up noticing it wasn't necessary thanks to the shape of the entrance. I loved this dog house right up to the point where our porch awning fell under hundreds of pounds of wet snow and shattered the dog house. I was surprised to see it had fractured into so many pieces but at least the dogs weren't in it at the time.

I have ordered three of these total now, and they are nice houses. However, the first one could not be snapped together even with three people working with it; the vent was broken out on the second one; and the third one could not be assembled because one of the snaps was broken off. If you want one of these houses I'd recommend that you find a store that has them in stock and do NOT leave with it unassembled!

We used to have this for our lab mix. It kept her warm in winter and as long as we changed the shavings every few weeks it stayed pretty clean. It takes 2 to 3 people to move it though because there isn't really a place to grab it. Overall a very good product.

They Love It

I just recently bought two of these houses for my two labs. They love them. I opted not to get the optional pads, instead putting their round beds in the houses. During the colder weather, as one of the other reviewers mentioned, they sleep together.
The product seems to be very well constructed with the destructive "chewing dogs" in mind. Ventilation is good. Even without the door flaps, any moisture that gets in will dry fairly quickly due to the adequate circulation in the house.
Pros: Easy to place and set up.
Cons: Color - color variation would be a nice option (although, white seems logical for heat reflection)

I have 1 and both my Labs use it. Its the Large size! My female is 85 lbs and my male 75. They both sleep together in this cause they want to. I do have another dog house that is not this one. They leave that one alone totally to sleep in this for the winter. Course in the summer they would rather sleep on our porch. They havent chewed much at all on it cause it is way too tough for them. One of my labs is a bad chewer, (went thru chain link fence chewing). Overall everything is pleasing with this house. The extra door area is a big time plus!!
