5 out of 5 stars
My new hound heater is smaller and more effective than my first hound heater from 2022. I love it.
If there is no insulation in the doghouse the heater will warm 15-20 degrees above outside temperature. My dogs house is attached to her pen at the entrance side. She pulled all insulation out of the inside of the house after I added it. So I wrapped the outer 3 sides with reflectix and she cannot get to them. This heater is keeping her house an average of 40 degrees warmer than outside temp. This winter event has 9 degrees outside and her house is 56 degrees now.

    Bought this for my pitbull, I live in north central indiana and our winters aren’t horrible but many nights in the low teens and so far it’s kept my dog super comfortable, maybe even too warm at times! The video is nice cause I can check on her while I’m at work or when bad weather rolls in without having to physically be there. I installed the unit on an igloo doghouse and had to buy the special bracket designed for that style of round dog house but I wanted to make sure it was installed correctly. I also bought some reflective heat insulation on a roll and stapled it to the entire inside of the house before mounting. I’m sure that has helped keep the heat in as well. I give it 5 stars so far and if it works until spring breaks then to me it’s well worth the money and peace of mind. I highly suggest it, I always physically check the warmth when feeding so I know the thermostat is correct and soon as I put my arm in her house I’m jealous cause she’s way warmer than I am inside the house lol. I’d suggest it to anyone wanting to keep their pet warm and comfortable in the winter, just take the time to read the manual and install correctly and it should work just as good for you I’d think.

    I cannot say enough good things about this heater! I inherited a dog and am not a fan of animals inside my home so I struggled with how to keep her warm during the winter. I got her a nice big doghouse and installed the Akoma heater. The temperature got down to 14 degrees here last night and her dog house was just as warm and toasty as it could be (and yes I walked out in those temps and checked to make sure it was warm). The best feature is that I can turn the heater on and adjust the temperature from my phone. It also has a camera that allows me to check on her at any time. Roxy absolutely LOVES her dog house and I love the Akoma Heater!

    I paid a little more for the Bluetooth version of this heater, and it was a disappointment from the very beginning. I ordered two, installed them in my catio, and then do they quick search in the App Store using the company name - no results. Then I did an internet search using the company name - still no app. So I went to the company website to see if I could download the app directly from there, or at least get instructions on how to find the app - once again, nothing. Seriously?!? So I went back to the App Store and added "Hound" and I found it. I installed it and try to connect to my two heaters - no heaters found. I tried this multiple times and gave up. I decided I was going to do it the next day when I had more patience. I was excited to get these heaters up and running so my cats could be warm in their catio, but the Bluetooth version doesn't even have manual knobs to operate the heaters. So later that night I decided to try again. This time I went into my basement and stood next to the tunnel leading out to my catio. This time the app connected with ONE of my heaters. So I decided to walk outside and stand right next to the cage. This time the app connected to both of them. Unfortunately if you walk any further than 6 ft away from the heaters the app loses connection. That's absolutely worthless since most dog houses, catios, chicken coops, or whatever else people want to heat for their pets aren't going to be located in the living room. There's no way I'm going to walk outside to make sure my heaters are working or to adjust them. I decided to return these heaters and I found a more powerful pet safe heater that operates off wi-fi. Hopefully they work better than these do.

    I actually bought both the Bluetooth version and the one with the knob. The one with the Bluetooth is hard to connect to unless you are in just the right spot and very close, but it’s really nice to be able to set the temp, as long as it can stay connected to Bluetooth long enough for you to set the temp.

    However, the Bluetooth one seems to shut off and on a lot. Seems to be when the area is close to the set temp. Not sure what that adds to the electric bill at this point and it does make it harder for the dog to acclimate to it.

    The one with the knob (no Bluetooth) does shut off at some point if the temp exceeds a certain point. And I have not found anything around it overly warm even if I forgot to turn it to low when the ambient temp got higher for a couple days… The thing that could be improved is the location of the knob. Of course that opens up the possibility for chewing and measures would have to be taken for that scenario, but the knob being in the top, where it’s going to be higher in your area, probably close to the top, it is hard to be able to see what you have the knob set to. So make sure you can see the knob because just turning it doesn’t click or anything to indicate where you are in the heat level.

    Both could have a slightly stronger fan, no louder…. Both could have a better metal sleeve for the cord, but the cord should not be accessible to the dog(s) anyway…

    But they do work…. They do give me piece of mind they aren’t freezing to death and I do not see these ever being able to catch anything on fire. I am very happy to have an option for the previously abused dog I cannot get in the house and the dog that can’t be freely around two of my other dogs yet. She’s an older dog that was abandoned in late fall so I haven’t had time to work with her and fear the weather and temperature in the mean time…

    I spent a lot of time looking for a safe way to heat my dog house. The reviews on this product seemed promising. I live in the Canadian prairies. We adopted a puppy into our family in august and I have been super stressed about how he will be taken care of when winter hit. His dog house is 4x4, well built and insulated. When the cold came I put a thick layer of straw down and folded a piece of carpet in half so it was soft on both sides to hang in his large opening doorway. He is a bigger breed (lab/shepherd mix) so as a full adult this probably would be enough but he’s still so young and his coat is still coming in. I just worried a lot. It can get pretty nasty in the winter here. I found this heater affordable when factoring the ease of installation and how well the reviews said it worked. I am a female and installed it myself with no problem. Very straight forward. Drilled a hole for the cord and 4 screws to mount inside. I left it set on low. I came back a few hours later to check on it and when I opened the carpet door it was seriously so hot inside 😂 I did not realize the heater has an auto shut off when it reaches temperature (not sure what the temperature is set at for low/med/high). But that’s great. Because I think if it ran continuously then it would be way too hot in his house. I’ve been using it now for three weeks and I consistently check on my puppy’s house everyday. I’ve actually never even noticed it running since the initial installation, so it’s obviously not running 24/7, which is great. The coldest it’s been here this season so far I’ve noticed is -18C and my dog always comes out of his house dry and warm. I’d like to get a thermometer for the inside of his house to actually see how warm it is but just feeling with a bare hand/arm, it’s plenty warm. My dogs coat is black and his adult coat is coming in enough that even on a -5 day with sunshine he is finding places to lay in the shade. So I also have to worry about him running too hot (I’ll have this problem come summer next year lol). But he LOVES his dog house so it must not be too hot in there for him. I highly recommend this product. It’s given me so much peace of mind. Works great. Was easy to install. Product shipped fast and came well packaged. The covering does not get hot at all so no chance of burning my dog. The fan runs very quietly. There is nothing my dog can chew on or wreck or get in trouble with. The temperature dial is covered so he cannot accidentally bump or break it. I have a cat house that I will be purchasing another one of these heaters for. This is a great product!

    No wiring needed, easy to install, easy to regulate temperature. Nice long cord to plug it in. Unit doesn’t heat itself up too hot.

    A larger unit so would make sure your house is big enough. The filter isn’t very well secured - as it just fits between the wall and the unit. My cats pulled it out and tore it up shortly after it was installed. (Would be better if it was secured via some kind of cage or something.)

    This heater is exactly what we needed for our dog house. I was a bit apprehensive about a heating pad, heating lamps, or infrared heaters due to the concern of burns. This is perfect. Tucks away in the top corner and only runs when needed.

    This is rhe second heater i have bought, i thought the first heater wore out but it was just to cold with the wind chill -35. Once it got back to a normal temp, It started to work again. The dog house is about 40 cubic ft. And the heater keeps it about 10 degrees c. Great product, so now i have a spare

    I have only had this heater for two weeks but the weather here in Calgary has been -28 with a wind chill of -34 and both my dogs have the heater in their insulated dog houses and have been toasty warm. I check to see if the heater is working every time I go to their kennels and no issues yet. Curious to see how much the electric bill will go up. lol
