I bought one of these in a thrift store years ago..its a small plastic dog house that steams hot dogs and buns. I was wondering where I could find something like this to buy again?

My dogs stay in a pen outside during the day while we're at work(long story, but they like to dig under the part of the fence that doesn't belong to us). I have equipped the pen with a wooden pallet for them to sun bathe on, water and food, sun shade, a grassy area and a dog house with plastic flaps. As my puppy is getting bigger, the pen is getting smaller! I need to buy a new, bigger pen, but I hate to just discard this one. It is 5 x 8. To put it together, you assemble the poles, then wrap the chain link around it and secure it. Is there something I can buy to expand this one? Does anyone have any experience with this? Any relatively inexpensive ideas? I have 2 cockers and a 7 month basset.

I am trying to find some heavy duty plastic to make a door for my dog house. All the ones I have found so far are too light and flimsy. Any ideas where I can find some?

I'm looking for a dog house for my dog, and I'm wondering what kind any of you recommend? Like what is the best kind for keeping her warm, also for being weather resistant, and protecting her from wind, and snow, and rain. Also for staying super dry on the inside. She doesn't stay out at night...so it's not like it going to get below freezing. But where i live it can get kinda cold. The dog house it just to keep her warmer when she does go outside. These are some of the dog houses I have been looking at... http://www.doghouses.com/dog-houses/wood-dog-houses/precisionextremeoutbacklogcabindoghousewithblacktrim.cfm http://www.doghouses.com/outbackcountrylodgedoghouse.cfm http://www.doghouses.com/dog-houses/plastic-dog-houses/petmateindigodoghouse.cfm? RNtt=dogloo what do you guys recommend? thanks!!!! <3 =D p.s please don't say that i should bring her inside. I know that my house is the best place for her. But I want to know what the best outdoor dog house is. She already does live inside. :)

I am trying to bring my 7 month old Australian Shepherd in to the house. I have heard that a good way to train dogs to the house is to crate train them. Well I'm worried that during the night she might poop in the cage and so I'm debating on whether I should use a plastic pet carrier so that if she poops it doesn't go everywhere. But when I've researched it I see pictures of dogs in wire cages. Please help me!

We purchased a plastic dog kennel that snaps together on all four sides for potty training purposes. After feeling confident to come home and not have a mess all over my house for the first time since we got the little guy, he has discovered a way to break out. I believe he is pushing against the side till he can pop open the metal door. Any suggestions of how to prevent this would be greatly valued!!!

I want to make my dog's plastic dog house warmer for the winter because she has a hip problem and the cold bothers it. (She's not allowed in the house.) Is it okay to use pink insulation on the inside of the dog house? If not, what else could I use to insulate the house? I really want her to keep warm... but I'm also afraid she won't use the house either. I'm going to put down blankets beneath straw. What else can I do and what about the insulation? Thank you!!! Megan Because my father can be a douchebag. I am doing my absolute best to make her comfortable. Oh, also I am away at college. I don't want to take her to a pound because I know the chances she'll have of being taken home and I couldn't stand leaving her there in that facility. I don't know anyone who'd want her either and I don't want to give her to a stranger... She is a Chow and German Shepherd mix so she is pretty hairy, lol, and she's terribly stubborn about keeping watch on the house and farm animals, so she likes to stay outside.

I found a really cool plastic dog house at Sam's Club. I've been wanting to start raising chickens and thought this might make a good chicken coop. Please take a look at the photo, if you raise chickens, and let me know what you think. http://tinyurl.com/e6cfj

They have their dog tied up in the middle of a field with no shade except its plastic dog house. I havent gotten close to the dog but i know it has to be hot in that dog house.
