I have indoor dogs, but one of them loves to spend most of the day outside in all but the worst weather. I bought him this dog house so he'd be more comfortable. I put the Cottage together myself, and it was quick & easy just took a little strength.

My boy loves his crate, so I figured he'd take to the dog house quickly. Turned out that he needed some time to adjust to the Cozy Cottage. I put a thick crate pad in it and let him get used to it at his own pace. I just provided positive reinforcement and some treats. After a couple of weeks, he started spending hours in the cottage every day.

My dog is a 30 lb. corgi, and this size dog house is perfect for him. The recommended maximum size for the Cozy Cottage is up to 75 lb., but I don't think any dog larger than a border collie would be comfortable in this dog house.

1/11/12 Update: We've had the dog house for a little over a year & it still looks like new. On cold days my corgi spends most afternoons napping in the Cozy Cottage. It's raining outside now, and he's quite comfy. Last winter I purchased the K&H Lectro-Soft Heated Outdoor Bed, Medium. It fits into the Cozy Cottage perfectly & gives just enough heat to keep a dog comfortable in cold weather.

I bought 4 of these for the outside feral cats that I care for. It is purrfect because it is double sided and more insulated that the traditional dog houses. I can pack it with straw for the cats to burrow down in, as well as put a heated pad in on the one side. I wish they weren't as expensive because I would buy about 10 more. Thumbs up for this dog house! OH and don't forget the plastic door, its great too!!!!

Best Deals for Step 2 Cozy Cottage Dog House

Like stated in the other reviews, the delivery of the dog house was quick and the product was easy to assemble. The product looks exactly as it is shown, so no surprises there. The only complaint I have is that I also purchased the doggie door, and though the packaging makes it look as though the door should be able to screw right into the dog house in pre-made holes, there were, in fact, no pre-made holes to be found. It is an easy problem to remedy, and it is also pretty likely that I merely assumed there would be pre-made holes so I can't detract a star for that. It's more a helpful observation for those looking to purchase the house and door together.. make sure you have an electric drill handy.

Honest reviews on Step 2 Cozy Cottage Dog House

This is actually the second dog house of this type that we own first one bought thru Costco, but was about $40 less on Amazon. Takes seconds to assemble, durable, easy to clean. We live in area where temps range from 20 110 degrees. Dogs seem comfortable at either extreme. Although we've had first one for only about 6 months, its hard to imagine why it won't last for 20 years.
