I bought this doghouse recently bec the igloo type that I had is worthless in winter to keep a dog warm. This house is awesome! I have a Jack Russell terrier mix rescue girl and when I go to work, she needs be in back yard bec she and my Rottie female fight upon occasion so that's not good. My German Shepherd and Rottie have the run of the house and front yard (doggie door) and the JR is out back. (I have chain link fencing all around w/the smaller back yard being its' own space.) ~So this doghouse... I can see why it gets rave reviews all over the place! 'Super easy to assemble, all by myself. I removed the lower half of the door and left it that way for a few weeks. I got her to go in and out and after being a tad tentative, she did it on her own. Then, as fall approaches, the nights are now very cool and I work second shift. So I put the lower half back on and she is going in and out of it w/ease, thank goodness! I purchased the house w/the lovely fleece bed from Tractor Supply and I could not be happier! Even as is, it will def be MUCH warmer than that igloo type plus she gets a lot more room. ~~I am now investigating your heater which I may also purchase before winter comes. As it is, I have coats for her - she has one lighter one which is both rain and windproof, then a thicker, warmer one as well. During winter, she will have her two coats on and this provides both wind, rain and snow protection but also locks warmth into her body. When I get home from work, get her in and remove her coat or coats, I can feel the heat on the inside of her jacket and it gives me peace of mind. But ya, your heater might just be the very thing! ~~So my dog thanks you and I thank you for a quality product that both I and my dog can feel great about! Worth every penny to me!!
I just bought it! At the moment, there are no good results with the door! Even with the half door my dog almost gets stuck. I need to test the temperature if the dog house can keep my beautiful german shepherd away from this florida summer weather.
