"This dog house is great. My best friend Rosey, an Irish Setter, finds it very hard for to stay warm even with her long fur. However, her coat does do one thing: shed. Therefore, she can't stay inside as much as she might like too. In order to keep her warm and happy when I can't be with her, I put out one of these dog igloos. She loved it from the very beginning and still naps in it, along with her new friend Rocky, a German Shepherd and Shelty mix. Just make sure you wash it once in a while so the dog(s) have a nice place to sleep and so the house stays bright and beautiful."
