Large Dog Houses for Large Dogs
We are Taylor and Ramsey. We are both mixes of multiple dog breeds and both rescues. Snatched from the jaws of certain death at the city pound, we were brought to a small rural shelter while we waited for our new homes. Although we had never actually met up until that time, we became great pals and wonderful playmates. We even share our dog house!
With the numerous choices available, we decided to make this page to help you better select the right dog house. We evaluated many options and chose the top 5 based on durability and comfort, along with looks since we know that's important to you humans.
Suncast Resin Dog House
Easy to clean
Suncast DH350 Dog House
This is a large dog house, made from durable resin. It has a bit of a plastic look to us, but still cute and will match those "plastic-looking" out buildings that so many humans have.
It measures 33 x 38 x 32, so plenty of room for a large dog. It is a light-weight dog house. If you live in a windy area, you will need to stake it down. This durable dog house snaps together without tools. Although, a little warning here. Make sure you get all the pieces completely snapped together. That is the key.
This is a very easy to clean dog house. The roof is removable, so you can just hose it down and you're done. Now that is easy.
It's made by Suncast and sold by Amazon.com at a nice discount, and, of course, free shipping.

Cabin Style Large Dog House
It's made with real wood
Precision Pet Outback Country Lodge, Large
This large dog house is made from real wood and has a raised floor. It is easy to put together with pre-drilled screw holes. Does require a screw driver, but that's all. It measures 32 x 40 x 34, so it's plenty of room for your large dog.
A nice feature of this large dog house is it's adjustable legs. You can set it on uneven ground and still level it. That's a big deal for the comfort factor.
Even though it's water-proof, it still looks good. The wood has a walnut-stained finish, giving it that cabin-style look.
Precision Pet makes this Country Lodge Dog House and Amazon.com has it selling at a nice 20% discount with free shipping.

Looks or Comfort
What's more important?
For us, because we are dogs, comfort is the most important feature of a dog house. But, you are humans, we know. So, maybe to you looks are more important. Maybe, though, you are somewhat canine and think comfort is more important. But, possibly not. Anyway, pick you side and tell us what you think.
Is comfort more important than looks?
Yes, comfort has to be first.
Tipi says:
Every dog should have his comfortable day bed. I think anything can be made comfy.
Treasures-By-Brenda says:
Is there any question? Comfort has to come first!
No way, sacrifice comfort to look good.
Large Dog House with Porch
Spoiling your dog made easier
Merry Pet The Mansion Wood Pet House, Large
Here is a great way to spoil your pooch. We love the idea of a front porch. Makes us feel like we are truly pampered.
This dog house has special touches, like a window ventilation and a chimney for looks. It measures a generous 47 x 39 x 81 including the porch, making it roomy enough for two.
It's easy to assemble, weather-proof and made entirely from wood.
Now, we are definitely not chewers, but if you have a chewer, that front porch may be too tempting to resist. Just a little warning for you.
This mansion dog house is made by Merry Pet and sold by Amazon.com at a discount with free shipping.

This is us, Taylor and Ramsey
Cedar-Finish Large Dog House
Offset design
Precision Pet Outback Log Cabin Dog House, Large
This dog house is a simple design with an offset door. That allows a more protected feeling for your dog. Becomes a bit more "den" like. We dogs do like that idea. It's a roomy house measuring 45 x 33 x 33.
The finish of cedar on this house is a natural bug repellent and will also repel most dogs from chewing on the wood.
There seems to be an issue with the roof, though. We recommend that you cover the roof with a water-repellent spray. Problem solved. It's easy to assemble in three simple steps.
It's made by Precision Pet and sold by Amazon.com which means free shipping!

A Final Note
Just to let you know
Hi, there. Taylor here. Just wanted to let you know that both Ramsey and I have a new home. We are the beloved pets of two pet-pampering humans. We still live most of our lives outside, but they tell us that is only temporary and for our safety. See, they are doing something called "remodeling" their house. They say there are all sorts of dangerous things like nails and paint inside their house. So they want to be able to supervise us when we are inside.When they are inside, we can hear lots of noise like hammering going on. Our humans say we are going to be really happy inside, as long as we don't do our business on the new carpeting, that is. We won't.
Woof, woof, woof!
Ramsey is asking for your comments
Hi, I'm Ramsey. I'm called a talker. That only means that I love to let your know what I think. My humans think I sound like I am really talking. Which, of course, I am. But now, I'll let you have a turn. Tell us what you think.

- If parents think you can talk, then you can talk! Apparently you can write very well too, or is that Ramsey or perhaps both of you. I've never seen nicer dog houses and I've taken the liberty of lensrolling to my I Want a Dog lens, thank you!

- We have a larger dog and got her a dog-gloo from the neighbors. Sadly, she won't go in it. She'd rather just lay on the ground....getting soaking wet when it rains.

- What a nice selection of dog houses! I think my little yorkie may get lost in one of these models, but a smaller version would do I'm sure!
