Description

The answer to your dog house prayers has been answered with the Duplex Wood Dog House. Spacious enough for two large dogs, or one extra-large dog, this house is not only practical but also affordable. Each duplex house comes with a removable partition to accommodate one or two dogs. Its solid wood construction will help to keep out the elements while getting your dog out of the heat or simply off of the ground. A removable roof and floor panels make cleaning this house a snap.
Rarely can one find a house the will accommodate the larger breeds of dogs. After hearing numerous requests for such a thing, we put our designers to the test. We believe we have created a product that will fit the needs of many dog owners and lovers alike.

Attractive and easy to assemble. I placed it on a slightly elevated, turf-covered wood base and plan on adding a porch and insulation for more protection in severe weather, but this is great for mild weather just as it is. Because my dogs live outdoors, it's really important to me to provide them with a safe, comfortable shelter. Very pleased with my purchase!

Beautiful dog house, I read the previous buyer's reviews ( I should have heeded them ).
I thought this would be a perfect dog house for my two Golden Retrievers, because of the design and size. There were very few other dog houses (I searched the internet for days)that would fit the bill.

It was easy to assemble, and looked beautiful - - for a couple of hours. My dogs, who have never chewed any other woodwork or furniture, almost totally destroyed it.
The wood is very soft cedar (smells nice) but it is too soft to function as a dog house material. The only wood I have ever seen that was softer is BALSA, ( for model airplanes ).
I am a woodworker, and I regret that I didn't build my own doghouse.
The cost of this dog house is outrageous for the quality (lack there-of). It might as well have been made out of cardboard.

I'm thinking the only way to turn this into something other than a total waste of money is to use the disassembled dog house as a pattern for cutting exterior grade plywood panels. I can rebuild the dog house, improve it structurally and paint it.

Design looks good, but the construction was FLIMSY, mostly due to the use of soft wood.

Looks great but leaks

By thepaintdoll

Cons

NOT quality construction
Not weather resistant

Best Uses

Backyard Décor
Mild Weather

I've waited sometime to post my review. I've now had the duplex for 3+ years. While it looks great and has held up decent, I'm not completely satisfied.

It does leak over time. I've had to caulk every slat and joint in the walls and roof due to huge leaking gaps. The house sits too low on the ground and causes underneath leakage during heavy rains or melting snows. The door flaps lasted about 1 1/2 years before they became to brittle and started breaking. Unfortunately the company and this site don't seem to have replacements available.

The size of the house is great. My two heelers enjoy their own side and have never chewed on the house. It is made of VERY soft wood and don't expect it to last much longer. But I'll have a pattern to rebuild with modifications.

BEWARE of the QUALITY [...]

By Julie

Pros

Attractive Design
Easy To Setup

Cons

Flimsy Design
Provides Little Protection

Best Uses

Indoors

DO NOT BUY THIS DOG HOUSE if you intend to use it outdoors. It leaks (in light rain) as if there were not even a roof on it. [...] We never dreamed that something this expensive would be pure junk and worthless for the very purpose we bought it. Save your $300+ and let your pets lay out in the rain. They'll get just as wet.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The dog house looks nice but the walls are very thin and one of the plastic doors became brittle and broke during the first cold spell we had. I bought a hound heater to go in it as well because I didn't think it would keep my dogs warm. One of my dogs uses it and one doesn't yet. [...]

We have two Lab/Beagle puppies that stay outside during the day and sleep indoors at night. With winter on the way, we needed a place where the dogs could seek some protection from the elements.

Keeping The Dog Warm
Wet Weather

We have two blood hound pups and an old boy, yellow lab. All three are in this house! They snuggle and keep warm as the weather cools. We will add some insulation for the very cold winter, but it is a great shelter. Nice looking and the set up was so simple. Thanks!

Customer Q & A

Q1: Is this a good for all weather?

A: This dog house will hold up in all weather, including rain.

Q2: Can this house be built with 1 door and no center divider wall?

A: The wooden panel for the doors already comes pre-cut so it has to have the two doors. The divider wall can be removed to make the dog house one open space.

Q3: Do we need to assemble it? How insulated is it for winter nights for 2 dogs (Aussie shepherd and border collie size)? With the partition removed, can the dogs sleep together? What is the length, width, height?

A: Yes, you will need to assemble the dog house. There is no insulation, but we do sell a space heater for doghouses. The partition is removable, so the dogs can sleep together. Dimensions are - External (overall house): 73L x 39W x 42H inches; Internal (on each side): 30L x 30W x 40H inches; and
Door Opening (on each side): 18W x 24H inches.

Q4: What kind of wood is used? Is the unit lockable?

A: This is a Fir wood. This model does not have a lock.
