I purchased the large Ware Premium+ Doghouse for our 40lbs dog and 14lbs dog (hopefully they will share). We live in Montana and the larger dog likes to spend most of her day outside, so this was an easier solution than buying a new door with dog door (we rent and cannot put a dog door in the owner's door). I also purchased the "hotdog" insulation kit, which is very nice and fits inside very well without taking away too much room, and the large "porch" which is nice but not very sturdy.

The doghouse kit arrived with some minor shipping damage--a broken foot (still usable, though), and a few splinters off the wood. The kit was very easy to put together; however, tightening the screws firmly caused some of the wood to crack (I used wood glue liberally). Also, attaching the roof was tricky, without cracking more wood, as not all the pre-drilled screw holes went in far enough. The hinges for the roof, and the wood they are attached to, are rather flimsy, so I would recommend not opening the lid very often without incorporating some sort of reinforcement. Finally, the floor slats drop in, and I doubt they hold even an ounce more than the highest recommended weight (likewise with the optional porch). If I had a very heavy dog, I don't think this house would hold-up well.

The nice thing about this dog house, despite its somewhat flimsy construction, is that it is wood, so modifications and reinforcements are easy. It looks very nice, is easy to build, and after a coating of wood sealant, should last a long time.

This house comes in a kit that is very easy to assemble. The bottom floor is removable, but could be a bit breezy for winter. We used insulation foam board and placed in right on top of the floor for the winter. I also purchased the door kit, which was very easy also. I do not have the doors up right now because I want the cats to get used to the new houses. The roof is on a hinge and lifts up like a toy chest for easy cleaning. The roof has asphalt on it, so it's weather proof. Overall, the quality is good for the price. I will be using a deck weather sealing on the exterior in the spring. I put in the outside kitty heating pads for when it gets really cold. One cat likes sitting on the roof and the other sleep in her new quarters last night. It kept her warm and dry during the rain. I recommend this product.

Nice looking but very flimsy...part of the floor fell out after about a week. Would not recommend for anyone to purchase

Honest reviews on Ware-Premium Plus Dog House

My "yard" cats who won't come in my home now have a great place to take refuge from sudden Florida downpours. The house went together easily. I put it together inside my house, loaded it on my garden cart and rolled it to where I wanted it. The offset door is especially useful for keeping the rain out since I placed that part of the structure about a foot behind one of my oak trees. Extra points for the cedar, a natural insect repellent, including fleas.

I have one Kitty in particular who likes to come in and out of our house as she pleases. This sits on my front porch and gives her shelter for when I'm not home. I put a nice comfy bed in there for her that she loves to lay on. Now that winter is approaching I will be purchasing the insulator too!
