Backyard shelter

I bought this as a shelter for my kittens when they're in my backyard. The entrance is angled and protects the interior from rain. It is the perfect size for small pets. Medium size to large dogs would not be able to utilize this house.

This is a great dog house and takes less than 2 minutes to assemble. As soon as I clicked everything into place and put his bed inside, Maxey walked right in without being lured. He loves it and sleeps in it every night. He is a mixed terrier.

Igloo syle extra large dog house

I purchased the PetMate Igloo extra large dog house., I was under the impression this was the BEST for large breed dogs., Buyer BEWARE, if your dog is tall he will NOT be abl to go thru the SMALL opening. My English Mastiff 10 month puppy had to do the Army crawl to get in. He was fine ONCE he got in, but coming out he had to crawl out once again. my dog will not go back in. Taking back is out of the question since the shipping would be costly.

Dog products are great for cats

I bought a Petmate Indigo Dog Home because I feed five feral cats that I had spay/neutered returned. They have been spending the winters in a woodenhome-made dog house, insulated with plastic and straw, but I really felt they were cold last winter, and this winter promises to be very cold. The Indigo dog home is perfect for them. I have insulated it with foam rubber, covered with plastic, covered with straw. I intend to face the entrance into the shelter (a pressed wooden board, attached to the home-made dog house on one side and to bricks on the other side. They also have a small "cat" house, but that isn't even as warm as the dog house. What is good about that is that they can enter the shelter through it. I really think that when I put the Indigo house on boards to raise it off the icy ground, they're going to be snug as can be. I also plan to cover it with a tarp - last year, the temperatures reached 11 below. I had heated dishes, but they looked miserable. I'm planning on a cozy winter for them this year, and the medium sized Indigo dog house is just perfect for five cats.

Home Is Where Your Pooch Wags Happily

I am so proud of myself for ordering the Petmate Indigo Igloo dog house. This is one sturdy dog house. When getting ready to snap the dome to the base, I noticed that there are small holes around the base where you could anchor the dog house down with stakes if you are worried it could blow away in a storm. We haven't done that yet, but are going to.
Also, the vent on the dome really does make a difference with air flow. My dog would never get in her old dog house, she would just lie on top of it like Snoopy. However with the Indigo, she goes right inside and looks like she's HOME. Money well spent. So far, worth every hard earned dime.

Super dog home for outside. Fits under the picnic table just fine. The medium size is perfect for my 16 pound mutt. I wish it had "feet" to lift it off the ground, but a few bricks are okay, just not pretty. I love the ventilation top, the doorway to protect it from rain, and the fitted mat that goes with this house, sold separately. Now, let's see if he will use it..

The dog home is great, however, I received a defective Indigo. I was unable to secure the base due to one of the closures did not match up and did not snap in place. Contacted local Petco store and received replacement. The products shipped should be quality inspected before shipping to avoid customer inconveniences.

Great sturdy house

We bought it for a stray cat that has been hanging around. It's reluctant to stay inside despite the weather, but it's being trained to get the food in the bowl placed inside. A warm oval bed cushion was placed at the rear should the decision to stay inside become a reality. It has plenty of room for two cats.
The door accessory was also purchased. While it provides some buffering to the elements, it is somewhat flimsy and does not cover the entryway properly, allowing rain and snow to enter the front. This is a design flaw of the igloo as the top should have extended over the entryway, then a stronger door attached, so the rain or snow would be deflected better.

Really great dog houses

We have a kennel of hunting hounds and cattle dogs and we use these dog houses. They are perfect for our dogs to curl up and keep warm on cold nights, the bottom has a nice high lip to keep shavings in as the dog exits the house. They are easy to clean and sanitize. The shape of the house allows us to slide the entrance into a hole in the wall and leave the house outside to give more room in the kennel. I wish they would make a stand so they would be off the ground for comfort as well as ease in hosing down the floors. We just built skids under them.

I bought the medium size Indigo Igloo Doghouse for my Boston Terrier. It is super nice! It arrived in less than one week. It was easy to snap together. All I had to do was add a blanket. If you need a doghouse, this is the perfect one to purchase.

This dog igloo is my favorite! I also have the barn-style dog house which I don't feel is as good. This igloo is sturdy, weatherproof, warm, and just heavy enough (without being TOO heavy) to withstand the crazy Santa Ana winds we get every year. My 4 dachshunds love it no matter what the weather outside. Highly recommend!
