I installed this in an extra large dogloo dog house (second largest dogloo... German Shepherd sized.) It has been running for weeks now and it works great. Some of the poor reviews are from people who used this without installing a dog house door. That's all I'm going to say about that. lol
Installation requires a little thought and a special bracket when using this on igloo shaped houses... locating how high to mount it to leave it fairly plumb on the curved inside surface of the house took some time, but its not rocket science. The hole you must drill to bring the cord out of the back of the house has to be as large as the plug end, leaving a rather large opening for water and air to get in, but I picked up a rubber plug the size of that hole... drilled a hole in the center of that the size of the cord... then split that plug half way to insert the cord. That all plugged into the back of the dog house and came out water and air tight...and it looks very professional. I'll include a photo of that.
The stainless steel spring that protects the cord is helpful, but if using this around puppies that chew, be careful with that. I tied the house to the fence behind it with a bungee, then sliced open a piece of plastic pipe to protect the cord that was still inside the kennel, and wrapped that with electrical tape to hold it on. (Note: No cord is exposed inside the house. That last addition was only for the cord outside.)
I could have easily installed a heat lamp through the top of the dogloo, but my 40 years of having German Shepherds told me not to. I've seen what can happen when one of those lights breaks... making that water proof would be difficult... and a heat lamp that close to the dog would get too hot IMO.
I only wish it were a little less expensive because I'm going to order another one for another dog house.

I installed this in an extra large dogloo dog house (second largest dogloo... German Shepherd sized.) It has been running for weeks now and it works great. Some of the poor reviews are from people who used this without installing a dog house door. That's all I'm going to say about that. lol Installation requires a little thought and a special bracket when using this on igloo shaped houses... locating how high to mount it to leave it fairly plumb on the curved inside surface of the house took some time, but its not rocket science. The hole you must drill to bring the cord out of the back of the house has to be as large as the plug end, leaving a rather large opening for water and air to get in, but I picked up a rubber plug the size of that hole... drilled a hole in the center of that the size of the cord... then split that plug half way to insert the cord. That all plugged into the back of the dog house and came out water and air tight...and it looks very professional. I'll include a photo of that. The stainless steel spring that protects the cord is helpful, but if using this around puppies that chew, be careful with that. I tied the house to the fence behind it with a bungee, then sliced open a piece of plastic pipe to protect the cord that was still inside the kennel, and wrapped that with electrical tape to hold it on. (Note: No cord is exposed inside the house. That last addition was only for the cord outside.) I could have easily installed a heat lamp through the top of the dogloo, but my 40 years of having German Shepherds told me not to. I've seen what can happen when one of those lights breaks... making that water proof would be difficult... and a heat lamp that close to the dog would get too hot IMO. I only wish it were a little less expensive because I'm going to order another one for another dog house.
