FAQs

What dog breeds are suitable for this dog house?

This dog house is ideal for petite and medium-sized dog breeds. The smaller size (60x51x41cm) suits breeds like Chihuahuas or Miniature Poodles, while the larger size (75x59x55cm) is generally suitable for breeds such as Beagles, French Bulldogs, or Cocker Spaniels. Always measure your dog to ensure a comfortable fit.

Is the dog house waterproof?

Yes, the Urbn-Living Plastic Dog House is crafted from durable, weather-resistant plastic designed to protect your pet from rain, ensuring they stay dry inside.

Can this dog house be used indoors?

Absolutely! While designed for outdoor elements, its charming design and easy-to-clean nature make it a perfect indoor retreat, offering your pet a designated cozy space within your home.

How do I assemble the dog house?

Assembly is typically very straightforward, involving clicking or screwing together a few main components like the walls, roof, and floor. No special tools are usually required, and detailed instructions are included with the product.

Does it provide insulation for cold weather?

The plastic material provides basic shelter from wind and rain. While it offers some thermal protection, it is not heavily insulated. In extremely cold climates, additional bedding or a heated mat might be necessary, or consider bringing your pet indoors.

What colors are available for the dog house?

The Urbn-Living Plastic Dog House is available in a variety of stylish colors, including brown/green, cappuccino, green, and mustard, allowing you to choose one that best fits your aesthetic preferences.

How often should I clean the dog house?

For optimal hygiene, we recommend wiping down the interior and exterior at least once a week. A deeper clean with soap and water should be performed monthly, or more frequently if your pet is particularly messy or uses it extensively outdoors.

Troubleshooting

My dog is hesitant to use the dog house.

Make the dog house inviting. Place a familiar blanket, favorite toy, or treats inside. You can also temporarily remove the roof for a few days to help your dog adjust to the open space before reattaching it. Positive reinforcement and patience are key.

The dog house seems to move or shift in strong winds.

While lightweight for easy relocation, in very windy conditions, the house might need securing. You can place heavy pavers or bricks around the base, or use ground anchors (not included) through small holes (if present or carefully drilled) to secure it to the ground.

There's a strange odor inside the dog house.

Ensure the dog house is cleaned regularly. Any accumulated dirt, pet hair, or moisture can lead to odors. Perform a thorough cleaning with pet-safe cleaner, rinse well, and allow it to air dry completely. Consider adding a natural odor absorber like baking soda (placed in a small, secure container out of your pet's reach).

  • Lightweight design allows for effortless repositioning and moving.
  • Aesthetically pleasing design enhances outdoor or indoor spaces.
  • Offers a dedicated, secure, and comfortable space for pets.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Urbn-Living Plastic Dog House is designed for minimal and straightforward assembly. Typically, the pieces will click or screw together without the need for specialized tools. Follow the included instructions for a quick setup process, usually involving attaching the roof, walls, and floor sections. Ensure all connections are secure before allowing your pet inside.

Compatibility

  • Pet Size: This dog house is suitable for petite and medium-sized dog breeds. The smaller size (60x51x41cm) is perfect for chihuahuas, toy poodles, or similar breeds. The larger size (75x59x55cm) accommodates breeds like beagles, cocker spaniels, or smaller terriers. Always measure your dog to ensure they can stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably inside.
  • Placement: Ideal for outdoor use in gardens, patios, or balconies, offering protection from elements. It can also be used indoors as a designated resting spot, especially for pets who prefer a den-like environment.

Care

  • Routine Cleaning: The smooth plastic surface makes cleaning simple. Regularly wipe down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and pet hair. For tougher stains, a mild pet-safe soap diluted in water can be used.
  • Deep Cleaning: Periodically, disassemble the house if possible and wash all components thoroughly with pet-safe disinfectant or soap and water. Rinse completely and allow to air dry before reassembling.
  • Odor Control: To prevent odors, ensure regular cleaning and that the house is always dry before your pet uses it. Good ventilation naturally helps reduce odors.
  • Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the plastic, especially after extreme weather conditions, to ensure continued safety and integrity of the shelter.
