"He's all set up with food & water, a huge bed with a couple fleece throws and a cat house, which is rather small for his size- 18.9lbs. He used it when he HAD to in order to keep from getting soaked during a windy, rainy storm but he had absolutely no wiggle room. The house itself is made out of strong interlocking plastic and is super easy to put together; took about five minutes. We learned the hard way to put it together outside first, if that's its final destination as the roof made it not fit through the door. It can hold a dog up to 100lbs (and I was able to fit in it- Female, 5'6", 112lbs) so for him, he has PLENTY of wiggle room."
"This Dog house has made it through one very hot summer and one very cold winter and held up very well. Also we can take it apart so if we need to travel we can take it with us and put it back together at our destination (we have done this when we went to visit my dad's ranch for a few weeks over the summer). UPDATE: I bumped this up from 4 stars to 5 stars after a major storm ripped through our area."

And because the built in temperature just tells the unit when to come on or off, meaning no different heat levels, if it really got cold outside and the heater stayed running, it would be unsafe for dogs to brush up against it. After this modification to my dog house, it solved my problem perfectly but I would think if the house wasn't insulated or have a door, this might have little effect."
"It does have a built in temp control built into the thermostat so that when on low it will not turn on until temps dip low and the high setting will make the unit turn on at a higher external temp. After the burn in, I plugged the unit into a P400 Kill-a-Watt device to review the power draw. The unit draws 1.3 amps when on. I feel good about my dog being able to weather the winter conditions with the hound heater installed in her dog house. I will provide updates as I test the outside temp vs the inside dog house temp. I don't think the house can be much warmer without some additional insulation such as the insulating the ceiling and putting a dog door at the entrance. I purchased an infared temperature gauge ( I also have a wireless thermometer for inside the dog house that helps me monitor the inside temp) to shoot the Hound Heater temp."
"After installing it into my custom made dog house converted from a resin shed (Suncast BMS4900D Glidetop Slide Lid Shed), it keeps the interior temperature approximately 11-16 degrees higher than outside temperature on LOW setting. Elevated dog bed (the extra large perfectly fits the shed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010OSWRSA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1."
"Follow up #2...12/30/16. After contacting AKOMA, they did not hesitate in repairing the heater and did so very fast."
Petsfit pet house is made of ceder,this kind of wood is anti-rot material,but it will split under improper transportation. (HOWEVER, if you have a pet that chews and is destructive, this is not the house for you.). The bottom floor: the slats are not butted up against each other for easier cleaning and better ventilation for hot days,please put blanket, pillow or heat mat inside the house for cold days. Removable floor and hinged roof for easy cleaning,please pay attention to the pneumatic rod assembling process as you can see from the third picture.

"Love the dog house."
"A large and small dog EASILY and HAPPILY fit."
"I slapped a coat of white paint on the trim because it looked like only primer was applied and it looks great."
"I made a couple simple mods though to keep my kitty warmer: I caulked the bottom slats and perimeter to keep wind and water from coming up through the bottom, and I insulated the sides and bottom with a double layer of Reflectix thermal bubble insulation (the 16" x 25' roll was perfect), attached with 3M spray adhesive (except the bottom; I did not glue it, in case I need to remove it for cleaning). With a soft bed and enough room for water and food bowls (heated), my kitty will be a happy camper this winter!"
"Our 90 lb German Shepherd has gone through 3 dog houses. Despite the 60 lb weight limit, we went with it."

"Good, simple crate cover."
"The story behind having her...she’s almost 10 years old and never had to use a kennel but my mom went into memory care and the dog wasn’t 100% house trained and we had all new floors put in."
"It fits perfectly, each corner has 3 velcro tabs so you can roll up any of the four sides or leave them all down."
"I have tried the blankets, towels and other means of calming my cats for their vet visits, and they still get wound up and have had wet accidents in my car. Since cats are highly sensitive to smells, I wanted to make sure they would not be offended, and my guys thought the material was pretty cool on it's own."
"For the price, this cover is an attractive option for a larger crate."
"My cat prefers this crate as her sleeping area of choice."
"It looks good but the polyester sounds horrible and scares my dog and birds and irritates me."

"We were looking to replace a much smaller dog kennel that our 7 month old Siberian Husky quickly grew out of. Quality: "B+", pretty sturdy build, but the hinge/lock mechanism rubs against metal and causes the paint to scratch off easily. Also, our husky hasn't chewed the bottom tray like she did with the kennel we had previously (major plus, lol)."
"I've included a picture of my 20 year old daughter and my 170 pound Great Dane sharing the kennel and there's still a little room left!"
"We wanted to get a crate that our dog could move around in, so we actually got one that was two sizes too large - the "Intermediate" or 36-inch one. As he grows and gets house-trained, we will be able to move the divider further and further and eventually remove it completely... No need to keep purchasing larger crates because this one grows with our little guy! He can go into the crate for naps, and then freely move around the exercise area -- ideal for any time he has to be alone!"
"He has plenty of room to move around and get comfy."
"Easy to build with no tools needed."

"Pros: - Solid construction and weight. - Fully Collapsible to allow for easy storage or travel. - TWO door latches to better protect against bends from your dog pushing against just the top or bottom of the door. - Fully painted and coated without exposed rough edges, etc. - Easy to customize shape of exercise pen to allow for multiple setups for your particular room or purpose. Cons: - Included hardware is slightly flimsy (the plastic edge supports can pop off fairly easily with enough pressure). - Welding clamps that connect consecutive panels provide some sharp edges that could potentially cause injury. Personal Experience: I have a rat terrier puppy and wanted to find a quality and reasonably priced exercise pen to create what I consider to be the perfect indoor setup for a puppy still learning to be crate trained and potty trained. The plastic edge supports can pop off fairly easily if enough pressure is applied, and the welding clamps are a little rough and provide some sharp edges that could hurt an unsuspecting puppy. **I also purchased the AmazonBasics Single Door Crate to create what I consider the perfect indoor setup for puppies when you're away from home (the MidWest crate should work the same). I position the crate so that its door faces inside of the pen, and I have the pen encapsulate to each side of the crate door with the rest of the crate protruding out of the pen (the picture shows the setup). The Exercise Pen is secured to the crate by simply using your standard swivel keychain hooks (these actually came with the Exercise Pen)."
"After much deliberation, we decided to expand our bunnies play area for when we are out of the house. It does come with small clips but our rabbit is not incredibly mischievous so we typically just leave it against her cage and let her believe she's trapped..which, to our advantage, she does."
"It will bend into different lengths which is great for if i want to section off my dog from certain areas of the house. 50 lb lab/retriever puppy and her full grown mom at 80 lbs fit comfortably in it. However, I also feel that it is important to note that when dealing with dogs at a certain weight and age, if they want out, they will find a way out."
"Secure plastic sheets to each panel so your pup cannot climb up the grates!"
"He is able to run around in the back yard without a chance of escaping the yard since the yard where I am staying is not entirely closed in."
"It turned out my puppy's legs grew just long enough for the vertical spacing, and he climbs out of the pen like it's a ladder."
