27 Best Heated Insulated Dog Houses Reviewed 2024

If basic is what you’re going after, look no further than this excellent model by Suncast. The durable weather resistant plastic walls keep rain out along with the slanted roof design. Vents on the walls ensure enough air is getting to your pup.

It’s easy to set up, as the walls snap together. The only issue is thin flooring that is not raised. Water can leak in from the bottom of the house, but it’s nothing a few added bricks for suspension can’t fix.

This plastic house is not insulated, but you can add your own foam to the walls or layer some dry straw on the floor for extra warmth during the cold months.

This is a smaller version of the Suncast models for dogs weighing up to 70 lbs. You get the same convenient setup and basic plastic structure without having to dish out tons of money.

This can be used in the winter time, but you’ll have to insulate the house yourself with foam or a heater box.

The snap-together assembly makes it a breeze to build without tools. You can easily unsnap the removable roof for easy cleaning.

Here is another basic plastic dog house that is a little bit pricey for what it offers, but still gets the job done and keeps rain out if you want a durable shelter for your furry friend. It’s also large enough for big dogs, which is a size that can be difficult to find when it comes to dog houses.

There are feet attached to the floor that gives the house a boost, so you don’t have to worry about rainwater seeping inside.

The house itself is not insulated whatsoever, so lower your expectations for cold weather and prepare to get creative with your own warming techniques. Place a heating pad or straw on the floor and reinforce those walls with foam.

Small dog owners who need a strong plastic dog house- this lightweight option is easy to assemble with included screws and features holes on each wall for ventilation.

You get what you pay for: a basic A-frame plastic dog house. But, if basic is what you’re going for, then this is a reliable and convenient choice that will last against those rainy days.

The cold is another story though. Bear in mind that this dog house was not made to handle the winter. You will have to add your own insulation, such as foam, heater box or a heating pad if you plan to use this outdoors during winter.

This plastic dog house is all about convenience. No tools are needed to snap this together, making it easy to remove the roof for stealthy cleaning.

The house is only insulated by design, with an igloo shape and over-extended ridges to keep rain out. The floor is also raised to avoid seepage.

For extra ventilation, we don’t recommend adding electric heaters or lamps because of the dome-shape, cozy interior. Instead, add straw bedding to the floor and seal the ventilation holes on the back wall to protect from the weather conditions.

Versatile when it comes to dog size and budget-friendly, this plastic dog house is another basic option that is spacious and easy to assemble in less than 5 minutes without any tools.

But, with a basic dog shelter, you need to add your own insulation if you plan on using it outdoors during the winter. That means installing a heater or bedding.

We also noticed that construction is quite lightweight and wouldn’t stand up very long against a rambunctious doggie. It would be a good idea to add anchorage, such as ties or bricks to weigh it down in the yard.

Heavy duty with 2 walls of plastic, this is a slightly insulated option for the hot and cold weather to keep the interior temperature stable, but if you plan on using this dog house for extreme temperatures- add warm bedding or foam.

We love that it’s easy to assemble and features ventilation windows on the upper part of the walls. It doesn’t require any tools and even comes with holes to tie down the house for added stability.

The only problem with the holes though, is that if you don’t use them, rain could potentially seep in through the removable floor. Decide whether or not the tie holes are a priority and fill them with calk if not.

Built strong with plenty of ventilation on the walls and a slanted roof, you get a top-quality dog house at a low price that can be upgraded to suit your needs.

The raised floor construction makes it formidable against rain and you can close the shutters over the hinged roof ventilation holes to keep out unwanted moisture as well.

It’s a relaxing hideaway for your pup that looks nice indoors or outdoors. For outdoors use, the construction is water resistant, but with an open door and no added ventilation on the walls, be wary when it comes to cold and hot weather.

The construction guide is easy to follow, but one issue we found with this dog house involves the pre-drilled holes. Some of the holes didn’t line up accurately, making it difficult to screw them together unless forced.

We love this wooden eco-friendly dog house for the quality construction and the versatility.

The wooden walls are made from thick cedar planks with a raised floor to keep out water and a slanted roof. The doorway is open, so you’ll need to finagle a covered door (if you want it). Just add warm bedding or a dog heater and you’re good to go. The walls are already waterproof and non-toxic.

Construction requires some tools and a bit of skill more so than say, a snap together plastic house, but the instructions are clear and easy to follow. It took us about 20 minutes to set up.

This is a super-star house for your pooch, a bit on the pricey side, but lives up to the quality.

The wooden construction is strong and water-resistant, with a raised floor that makes it formidable against the rain. You can even use it for winter if you add warm bedding or a heater box.

Take care with the flooring, as there was more space between the boards in this area than the walls. If you really want to protect against the rain, then you’ll need to fill in the spaces yourself.

The manufacturers put a lot of thought into the construction and how the house will withstand rain. If you live in a region that gets quite a bit of rainfall, this is a winner.

This wooden dog house is expensive but built tough. The thick wooden walls are reinforced with stainless steel and it’s made to stand up to outdoor elements.

What do we love about this dog house? It comes in multiple sizes that incorporate XL size dogs!

Stylish and easy to assemble, you get top-quality for what you pay with this wooden dog house. Cedar is used for the construction, which is sturdy and pest-repellent.

The floor is raised to keep out moisture and the slanted asphalt roof kicks leaks to the curb. Better yet, this is one of the few dog houses that includes a self-closing door flap to shelter the interior from cold streams.

Here is a unique dog house design that is built to accommodate two dogs or an XL dog.

The sturdy wood construction, covered doors, and raised flooring keep the inside dry during rain, but for the cold, you’ll have to add your own warm bedding.

Although the house is built to withstand rain, there is no asphalt or waterproofing on the roof. It held up fine and stayed dry when we tested it with water, but it’s something to keep an eye on in case of heavy downpours.

Yes, it’s expensive. But, this wooden dog house appeals to those who want a basic, handsome structure that fits a diverse range of dog sizes.

The floor is raised and the roof is covered in asphalt to keep the rain out, which is plus if you want to use this outside.

One thing that made us weary is that the floor popped out without much effort. This can be fixed yourself, but for the price, you would expect better quality.

Whether you want to use this inside or outside, this fully insulated house can be used in hot or cold weather to achieve a moderate interior temperature.

It already comes lined with foam insulation, but there is also a special hole built for a heating apparatus cord to pass through. For hot weather, there are air vents on the sides that can be opened for airflow.

One word: Big dollars! Yes, this is an expensive addition to your backyard, but the durability and size of this dog house make it worth it.

This house is constructed using a special laminated panel system to keep it standing strong and also insulated against the harshest of elements. The door slides open and shut to further insulate, and the spacious interior makes it suitable for dogs weighing up to 220 lbs.

The door is specially designed to let your dog in or out while sealing out harsh weather to further keep things warm and toasty inside.

You can’t beat the quality and it is one of the only models on the market that readily accommodates a solar power system.

We love how this dog house is stuffed with 3 layers of insulation, but the quality of the materials could be better.

The wood seems a bit soft and will not stand up to chewers or boisterous doggos. The wood floor, though raised to prevent water seepage, is thin as well. You would definitely need to add straw bedding or a heating pad to garner sufficient warmth during the winter.

For the price, it is well insulated and spacious for large dogs, but the materials used to leave one wondering how long this house will last.

Built to tackle the extremes, you can count on this igloo house to stay warm during the cold months and dry for the rainy season, with an off-center tunnel door, raised floor that also drains and vented ceiling that facilitates airflow.

The price is expensive, more than we believe it should cost for what is offered. But, the plastic walls are thick and heavy-duty and you don’t have to add much in terms of heating, save for a nice warm blanket or heat pad.

This dog house isn’t really an igloo shape, but it uses a round pod-like design and the moderate temperate underground in the yard to facilitate a comfortable atmosphere for your dog. Clever, right?

It’s simple: you dig a hole and bury the thing. The doorway sits 3” above the ground to keep rainwater out, and 6 stairs lead down into the belly of the structure. You add straw or bedding of your choice and the natural climate regulation of the soil does the rest.

The only miff we encountered with this dog house is cleaning. It’s not too fun trying to wedge a human body down there to administer a thorough scrub.

Small dogs can reap the benefits of this tent-like house, whether it’s taking a nap under shade or escaping from the rain.

It’s easy to assemble by sliding the poles that make up the frame through holes in the canvas. The material is waterproof and easy to clean, with an uncovered front entrance.

The floor is mesh, which makes it great for keeping dogs cool, but it might be loose and uncomfortable to lay upon. Therefore, depending on what your dog prefers, you can buy a plywood board to fit on the bottom for added support if needed.

This pop-up dog tent receives top ranks from us, both for quality and features.

It’s easy to assemble and fold down for transport if you like to spend time outdoors and it comes with ground anchors to keep the tent solidly in place.

For rainy situations, the lightweight material can take some rain but will leak under a heavy downpour. If it’s a little bit chilly outside, this model comes with its own thick sleeping pad for added comfort.
