My Husky Loves Her New Home!
Date: December 27, 2006
"It took my husband less than an hour to put it together. Solid wood and looks really sturdy! Our husky went right in and slept for a couple of hours inside. She loves her new home and so do we!! Looks like the large is big enough for 2 huskies to fit inside."

Great Dog House!
Date: October 10, 2009
"We bought this house in large for our Lab mix and it was so nice our dog went right in and seems very pleased! Not like some houses that they have to adjust to ,he seems right at home! My husband (who is not handy) said it was really easy to put together! We have now purchased the medium house for our other dog a pit husky mix and he is very excited about it!"

Everyone loves it!
Date: March 17, 2009
"I bought this for my dog about a year ago. It is still standing and he still loves it. He's in it for shade but especially when it rains. He has chewed on it a bit but it is still standing strong. I'm impressed-my dog usually destroys everything."

GREAT ITEM!!
Date: December 29, 2008
"I PURCHASED THIS ITEM FOR MY LARGE DOGS AND I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE QUALITY. MY MALAMUTE WHO NEVER WOULD USE A DOG HOUSE ABSOLUTELY LOVES THIS DOG HOUSE AND MY GREAT DESTRUCTOR DANE LOVES THE HOUSE AS WELL. ALL ITEMS ARE SUBJECT TO BEING DESTRUCTABLE TO SOME POINT SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE DESTRUCTABLE DOGS YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF. I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR THE CALIFORNIA WEATHER WE HAD SOME PRETTY GOOD DOWN POORS HER LATELY THE INSIDE OF THE DOG HOUSE WAS DRY. AS FAIR AS ITS OVER ALL PERFORMANCE BASED OFF OF SOMEWHAT NORMAL TO EXTENDED USE IT WAS A GREAT PURCHASE. IM LOOKING TO PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE AND GET RID OF MY IGLOO. tHEY GREAT THING ABOUT THIS PRODUCT ITS FLOOR IS UP OFF THE GROUND SO THEY STAY COOLER DURING THE SUMMER AND DRY AND WARMER DURING THE WINTER."

I beefed it up inside and looks good outside
Date: December 12, 2008
"Easy to put together. I upgraded mine with some 3/8" in plywood inside and under the floor to make it double walled and insulated. Place plywood on the inside of the corner supports and you have about a 1/2" air gap. I also put down some heavy duty house carpeting wall to wall. I put extra screws and used glue to make it stronger. It looks great on the outside and is now a very strong built house. I also put a board across the bottom 6 inches of the door to make it smaller for the winter time and can put some extra bedding inside. Since mine are (2 that I attached together as a duplex) on a covered back porch moisture is not an issue just wind and cold. A person could easily attach a comp. roof material on it. So far me and the dogs are very happy. One chessie and a border mix. I purchased the mediums and they are plenty large for these girls at 50 and 60 lbs
even with the extra insulated walls. I wouldn't recommend them if you have a rough house type dog or you don't reinforce them. If you do they are great looking.

"As for putting together that is easy. as far as quality it belongs in the fire pit. the first little sprinkle we had the shingles on the roof buckled. i pulled them off and reset them this time nailing the sides only to have them buckle again the next rain...avoid this "house" at all cost"

My Dog Feels Like a Queen
Date: February 10, 2008
"I have a really large german sheppard and this house is perfect for her. Room to spare. The off center door is a plus too. Makes me feel like she is better protected from the weather.
I would highly recommend this product. It is well made and easy to assemble. I'm a little woman and I did it alone in about half an hour.
The only drawback is the lack of a roof overhang to really keep the rain out. I solved the problem by attaching a sheet of metal roofing material to the top. Problem solved.

Great product!
Date: January 29, 2008
"I have a great dane/doberman puppy that weighs about 70 lbs and he is outside all the time and with him not having any meat on his bones I wanted to get him some shelter. So I purchased this dog house and he loves it. The wood could be a bit more stronger because my dog just ate the corners of it. Other than that it works great, it stays off of the ground so the floor of it doesn't rot from rain and mud. I would recomend this product to anyone, especially someone with a big dog that needs shelter."

Junkwood after a week
Date: November 27, 2007
"When I first got the house, I was very excited. The instructions were not very clear (just a diagram on the box), but overall it was easy to put together. Also, it looked great in the back yard. It took two days for the dogs to get used to it (we have a doberman and a mixed breed dog) and it seemed like it was a good thing. On day three, they began rough housing inside and knocked the roof off. When I went to put the roof back on, I noticed that they had chewed the insides of it. By the 6th day, all the trim was gone from the sides and two boards have been knocked out of the side of the house. I finally nailed the roof on, but the dobie was able to get on top of it and pull the shingles off. Needless to say, I was very disappointed in the quality of this house. If you have little dogs with no inclination to chew or play, it may work. But, its flimsy boardss don't stand a chance against two normal dogs."

"This was so easy to put together!
We have two big dogs and they love the dog house. Good quality wood, easy to follow directions! I love that the dog house is slightly lifted to keep rain water out! I would buy again and again!

Cute and Easy to Assemble
Date: June 18, 2007
"I was very pleased with the product. While it is somewhat thin, it is not as bad as some reviews made it out to be. The assembly was easy (8 bolts and 12 screws). The entire thing was assembled in less than a half hour. We made add additional insulation for winter, but think it is a great deal for the price."

Serves its purpose
Date: January 28, 2007
"My husband and I just finished assembling the house. It took the two of us about 30 min. and it looks great! The walls and floor aren't super thick, but it is very attractive and the perfect size for our dog. I am going to try and find a plastic swing door to cover the opening and help keep Ginger warm, but I think it will serve our needs well. Ginger seems to love it!
Oh, we added some shingles to the roof for added weather-proofing during our wet northern Calif. winters."

Very disappointed
Date: November 10, 2006
"This product is flimsy and light weight. More suitable to occassional use than daily use. It is attractive, just not practical. This is the only product which I have ordered from Petco which I am unhappy with."

Not good for big dogs
Date: April 21, 2006
"This doghouse looks awesome but the wood is lightweight and very weak. I gave this product five paws for pet satisfaction because my boxer had tons of fun chewing this house down to a bunch of toothpicks. This would make a great house for smaller dogs, but it would be in your favor to choose another option if you have a bigger dog with strong jaws who likes to chew."

Great house for a FANTASTIC price!!
Date: December 20, 2005
"When we got our new puppy I searched everywhere for a quality dog house that would look good next to our log home. When I found the Outback Log Cabin house, I just knew I had to have it! PETCO was by far the cheapest place to order it online, and it arrived at my house in just 3 days. My husband put it together in no time, without even using the included instructions. My puppy loves it because logs are great insulators and it keeps him warm in the sub-zero temperatures we've had all month; plus, it matches our log home perfectly! Thanks, PETCO!"
