Petmate Precision Extreme Log Cabin Dog House for Outback Living

Fran Savoy: I have three dogs they all enjoy going in to the dog house. Two of the dogs are very large, and they also fit very nicely.

kcanelokcanelo: It was extremely easy to build. The wood is pretty thin but it still seems like it will be durable during different seasons/temperatures. It is easy to move around and reposition if needed. My 2 large dogs enjoy their new houses.

missinic: My outdoor cats use this with a heating pad under a blanket during the winter months. It's sturdy enough for this use, but I believe the flooring is too flimsy to last long with a medium to large dog using it daily. I do, however, think it would be easy to reinforce the flooring.

I would say 4-5 adult cats could sleep in it comfortably. More, if they don't mind snuggling.

The doghouse has 4 plastic feet that do not attach to the house, so if the house gets bumped or moved, the feet don't move with it. I'm not sure what the purpose of this is. It annoys me greatly to have to pick up each corner of the house and realign the feet every time the house gets moved/bumped.

I did not attach the roof to the house because it is heavy enough to stay put in a location sheltered from full winds. This makes it easier to clean the inside of the house. It is not a hinged roof. Full winds could probably blow the roof off if it is not secured to the house.

There is no door cover included.

Choy: A pesar de que podría mejorar le doy 5 estrellas ya que aunque las paredes el material es algo delgado despues de casi 2 años ah resistido a estar en intemperie (lluvias y sol) ademas de mis 2 beagles y creo que si fueran un poco mas gruesas las paredes seria un producto mucho mejor del que es

TWill: This is a great insulating kit. I live in Northern BC where the temperature can dip as low as -45C in the dead of winter. This insulating kit, combined with a heated mat and a peice of heavy canvas over the door opening, keep my Greater Swiss Mountain Dog cozy in her house through even the coldest winter nights.

Angela PreimesbergerAngela Preimesberger: Purchased 2 for our beasts in case of inclement weather while we were at work. I've put off buying any pet house for years because all I ran into were expensive and had horrible reviews. This version had some of the best I've read (with the exception of shipping/damage woes).

The house: Sides and bottom are thin cedar, roof is a composite of layers (plywood, shingles, etc). Roof is very susceptible to damage during shipping. There is absolutely no protection for the corners of the product in the box. The box itself is thin which ups the risk of damage. One package arrived with right side of roof destroyed, one package was fine. I called the company direct to see if they could help - no such luck. Horribly rude customer service. Called Amazon and ordered a replacement package. Week later it arrived with the front and left sides destroyed plus the middle was bowed. Tired of the frustration already and irritated that I had to drag a big heavy package across down to return it (and wasn't going to do yet another replacement), I simply took both apart and pieced together one good dog house for a total of 2 useable houses. Dogs enjoyed them and hopped...

Debbie Rieck: I purchased this house for my two outside cats. I have to say the pictures looked like there were shingles on the roof, but it is wood just like the rest of the structure -- seems to be waterproof so far though. The house is spacious with a large door (I purchased the plastic-strip door made to go with the house). I don't know how warm the structure will be in deep winter since it is only wood and not insulated, but it is in the corner of my deck tucked in against the house with a partial roof overhang. I have stuffed the plastic strips that it was shipped with underneath the house and on two sides. The house was packaged fairly well. There was a tiny crack on one of the slats on the roof, but it will not hurt the functionality, so I kept it as is. It was easy to put together with an electric screw driver and I was alone. Another person would have been helpful to hold up the sides while screwing together. It is well made, sturdy and quite attractive. On review, well worth the money and I would definitely buy again.
