I have indoor dogs, but one of them loves to spend most of the day outside in all but the worst weather. I bought him this dog house so he'd be more comfortable. I put the Cottage together myself, and it was quick & easy - just took a little strength.

My boy loves his crate, so I figured he'd take to the dog house quickly. Turned out that he needed some time to adjust to the Cozy Cottage. I put a thick crate pad in it and let him get used to it at his own pace. I just provided positive reinforcement and some treats. After a couple of weeks, he started spending hours in the cottage every day.

My dog is a 30 lb. corgi, and this size dog house is perfect for him. The recommended maximum size for the Cozy Cottage is up to 75 lb., but I don't think any dog larger than a border collie would be comfortable in this dog house.

1/11/12 Update: We've had the dog house for a little over a year & it still looks like new. On cold days my corgi spends most afternoons napping in the Cozy Cottage. It's raining outside now, and he's quite comfy. Last winter I purchased the K&H Lectro-Soft Heated Outdoor Bed, Medium. It fits into the Cozy Cottage perfectly & gives just enough heat to keep a dog comfortable in cold weather.

I bought 4 of these for the outside feral cats that I care for. It is purrfect because it is double sided and more insulated that the traditional dog houses. I can pack it with straw for the cats to burrow down in, as well as put a heated pad in on the one side. I wish they weren't as expensive because I would buy about 10 more. Thumbs up for this dog house! OH and don't forget the plastic door, its great too!!!!

Like stated in the other reviews, the delivery of the dog house was quick and the product was easy to assemble. The product looks exactly as it is shown, so no surprises there. The only complaint I have is that I also purchased the doggie door, and though the packaging makes it look as though the door should be able to screw right into the dog house in pre-made holes, there were, in fact, no pre-made holes to be found. It is an easy problem to remedy, and it is also pretty likely that I merely assumed there would be pre-made holes - so I can't detract a star for that. It's more a helpful observation for those looking to purchase the house and door together.. make sure you have an electric drill handy.

This is actually the second dog house of this type that we own - first one bought thru Costco, but was about $40 less on Amazon. Takes seconds to assemble, durable, easy to clean. We live in area where temps range from 20 - 110 degrees. Dogs seem comfortable at either extreme. Although we've had first one for only about 6 months, its hard to imagine why it won't last for 20 years.

Like some other reviewers, we bought this dog house for a cat. It was ordered at the same time as the door and heated pad. The dog house arrived a day earlier than expected, but the heated pad and door had not even been shipped yet! It appeared that the package had come open and contents fell out, because the roof was all scuffed up. The dog house is very easy to assemble, and I think that after we get a heated pad in it, and a door on it, it will function very well for keeping our kitty warm and safe.

This dog house comes in 5 pieces and they all snap together. It is extremely well made and our little cocker spaniel loves it.

The dog house was just as described, sturdy and easy to assemble. I would recommend it to other users.

I bought this dog house for my little 7 months old puppy. It took me 5 minutes to put it together and immediately, my puppy went in. He just loves it! The weather has been chilly these days and he enjoys being inside his new house, because the double-wall makes the temperature very comfortable in there. I will recommend this item to all my friends. It arrives in time, the roof was a little scratched, I would recommend the manufacturer to put some protection for the parts in the box. Besides that, everything was perfect.

My dogs love 'em, I love 'em, They're gr-r great! One minor complaint, the item does not come with protective material inside the box, one of the houses I order came with a 2 inch slash on the bed(which I fixed myself as I wasn't going to wait another month and a half for a replacement). BTW, I bought 3.

It is a really sturdy dog house.......a little big for our wienie dog, but we wanted it that way.......good buy
