This Pet House is very durable and easy to assemble. It looks great and should wear very well in the harsh winter months and summer months. I love the look of it. It is roomy inside. I like that you can take the floor out to clean the pet house out.
The only thing that could be changed is the roof could be a little longer in the front so it would prevent rain from entering the door otherwise it is great.

I bought 2 of these for my 2 feral cats & absolutely love them. My husband assembled them both and they were so easy and true to fit. Very well made & the cedar smells wonderful. They shipped seperately and 1 of them had damage to the front panel & roof ridge so I notified the seller and they shipped the 2 new parts to me right away. They are a great seller, fast shipping & wonderful company to deal with. I highly recommend this little house and buying from TRIXIEpets.com here on Amazon.

This dog house is very easy to put together.
I have 2 medium sized dogs who both fit inside the Large. The quality is pretty good, it’s not a heavy duty dog house but it serves its purpose.

I purchased two of these through Amazon.com knowing they would be shipped from Petco. I thought I could trust the Petco name. They both arrived broken; one worse than the other. The lesser broken one I was able to salvage and put together with some additional glue (not normally required). The other was in bad shape. I pulled out only two parts and the top ridge was shredded into little pieces and the front was split in half. After pulling out the bottom half of the front, I decided it wasn’t worth pulling the rest of the pieces out because I was afraid I would never get it boxed back up.
I ordered them on 21 December 2012; according to the paperwork, they shipped on 28 December 2012. I received them on Thursday, 10 January 2013. I attempted to assemble them on Saturday, 12 January 2013 (the first opportunity I had to assemble them).
I called customer service on a Saturday (12 January 2013). I was told that they would set up a pick up date for the following Tuesday and would ship out a replacement after I took photos of some of the broken parts. By Wednesday night nothing had been picked up. I called again that Wednesday evening (16 January 2013). I was then told that the manufacture was still deciding whether to ship replacement parts or a new unit … news to me; I requested a call back on Friday with a status of their decision. No call so I called Monday (21 January 2013), a week after the first phone call. I at that point decided I wanted a refund. Customer service scheduled a pick up for Friday (25 January 2013). I call this morning to verify that the pickup was still scheduled and to explain where the box is located (under the front porch due to a snow storm). I was then told that no pick up was scheduled and the customer representative would look into it and call me back within 24 – 48 hours.
I like the look, the materials and the design for easy assembly of the dog house but I would never order another one, especially from Petco.

I really love this dog house! I love the look of it, and also how easy it was to put together! It only took me about 15 minutes by myself.
Only 4 stars because when I first received the package several of the wood pieces were broken. But it was a fairly simple process to exchange for another one.

i really like it, easy to set up. the roof beam did come destroyed, with nothing else in the box damaged which i assume was packaged like that considering it was literally in pieces wrapped in plastic and everything else was totally fine. amazon is sending a new box and i’ll swap out parts and send it back. overall i’m happy with the product

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)
As a dog owner who values both aesthetics and functionality, I recently purchased the TRIXIE Natura Cottage Dog House in the small size, hoping to provide my furry friend with a cozy and stylish outdoor shelter. However, my experience with this dog house has been mixed, with the promise of aesthetics falling short in practicality.
Aesthetics ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5):
The TRIXIE Natura Cottage Dog House undoubtedly scores high when it comes to aesthetics. The cottage design is charming and fits seamlessly with the surrounding environment. It adds a touch of visual appeal to our outdoor space, which was a significant factor in my decision to purchase it.
Quality and Durability ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5):
My main disappointment with this dog house is in its quality, particularly the finish of the wood. Unlike what I expected, the wood used for this product is not finished or sealed properly. This has become a significant issue as the wood has started to show signs of wear and discoloration due to weather exposure. It’s concerning that the wood isn’t adequately protected, which can affect the longevity of the product.
Ease of Assembly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5):
One area where the TRIXIE Natura Cottage Dog House excels is in the assembly process. It was relatively easy to put together, and the included instructions were clear and user-friendly. I had it set up in no time, which is a positive aspect of this product.
Practicality ⭐⭐ (2/5):
Despite its aesthetic appeal, the TRIXIE Natura Cottage Dog House has not proven practical for my dog. My pet has not used it as a shelter, likely due to the unfinished wood and an apparent lack of warmth and comfort. The absence of any interior insulation, along with a door flap that doesn’t seal effectively, makes it unsuitable for colder weather or protection from drafts.
In summary, the TRIXIE Natura Cottage Dog House shines in terms of aesthetics and ease of assembly. However, it falls short in the crucial aspect of practicality, as the unfinished wood and lack of insulation have deterred my dog from using it as intended. If you prioritize style over functionality and plan to use it in a mild climate, this dog house might work for you. However, if your main goal is providing a comfortable and secure shelter for your dog, you might want to consider other options that prioritize both aesthetics and practicality.
