I installed this in my pet shelter and it works nicely and is quiet. I keep it set at a low to medium temperature and this works fine. The cats don't need a sauna, just a warm spot out of the wind for the winter.

Very safe and quiet. Put in our dog house and it keeps our dog very warm in the winter. Installation was easy. We have already bought 2. Good company to buy from.

EDIT: I am now into the second winter with this product. It continues to perform as advertised. I have it connected to a smart switch. I am able to tell my Echo device to turn the heater off and on. I also have a timer set so I don't leave it on overnight. One of my dogs just LOVES to be out in the yard. With this heater in his dog house I know be has a warm dry place to crash and I feel good about letting him be outside in the winter if he wants.Purchased this heater to install in our Dog Palace Dog house. The dog house is plastic and insulated. Install was as easy as marking out and drilling four holes. If you use a plastic dog house, do not over tighten nuts.Install took 15 minutes. I plugged it into a Waterproof outdoor smart plug. Allows me to turn on/off on a schedule so I don't forget. It is also tapped into my smart home so I can turn in/off by voice or app.A couple of days after the install, temperature dropped to single digits in New England. With the thermostat set half way, the Hound Heater kept the interior at a steady 50 degrees. And that is with only 1/2 the dog house door mounted (for training). It is possible to set the temperature quite a bit higher if desired.Before purchase, I had several questions related to mounting the unit in a plastic dog house. I emailed the company and the owner responded very quickly. And it was after business hours. We emailed back and forth several times. Company was responsive and helpful.I almost did not purchase because of some negative reviews. But my unit works perfectly. There is a warranty for those who describe having problems. And the parts are replaceable and inexpensive if out of warranty. One person complained that their dog chewed through the cord. Dogs do chew things. So I ran my cord through PVC to be safe. Really can't blame company because dog chewed it up.Bottom line is it keeps my dogs comfortable. And I don't have to worry if they are out in the cold. My only complaint is the smell of the heater when I first started using it. It took 3 days of continuous use to burn off the smell. But now no more smell.Definitely recommend,

This heater is now in 3 tortoise houses and working great! The first one we purchased the fan stopped working so it was dangerous and useless, I believe the fan quit though because it kept breaking the breaker so once we got that fixed and the replacement showed up it has been working awesome for 3 weeks. You can see in one of the photos that one of them got put in sideways because the volunteer thought it would be easier to access the top, true but not how it is supposed to be installed. I will say that it worked sideways all night and most of the next morning until I could get in there to switch it. I do wish that there was more than just low Med and high so I had a better idea of where to set it for the desired temperature. This would be great with my curious mammals too as it doesn’t get too hot to the touch and is safe for fingers and paws! The cover over the thermostat helps prevent the critters from choosing their own temp and the fact that the wire comes out of the back so it can go straight out of the dog house is great!! No chewing. If you do have to have some of the cord in there though it does have a wire around it to help prevent chewing.We were so impressed we asked for donations to purchase more and we’re so blessed to get 3 more donated to keep our critters warm.

Purchased this after researching for something to keep my one outside farm dog warm in the winter since she has been diagnosed with Addison's Disease and has trouble regulating her temperature in extreme heat/cold. We built an insulated dog house inside the old drafty barn and purchased the Precision Outback Dog House Door and purchased this heater. With this heater turned on medium it keeps it about 50 degrees inside when it was -20 with the wind chill outside. After putting this in and getting my dog to sleep in it, she came out the next morning and did a big ol' stretch -- I'd say she is sleeping quite comfortably with it. We did put wood around it leaving the top/bottom open to avoid my 2 dogs from bumping into it while they were in the dog house. We then put up very fine mesh from that wood to the top of the dog house to keep any straw from landing on the top of it. The top does get hot to touch.

Editing my review to 1 star. First one stopped working after two months, as mentioned. Hoping it was a fluke, bought a second. Absolute piece of junk. Stopped working in 3 months. Blew a fuse in my garage. Worthless purchase and now I am out 160. Don’t waste your money.*********************************************I initially bought the Bluetooth one. The app you need to download has 1.5 stars out of 5. The unit will not connect to Bluetooth if you are more than 30ft away. Useless all around. I returned for the regular version with the knob you adjust, which died two months later. Pretty disappointing performance for the price but I am hoping it was just a fluke as the product itself has good ratings and I’ve spoken with multiple people who have used the same heating unit for years.Heats a 4x4 insulated dog house well in spite of it having no door flap per request of the tenant. You do need to unscrew the unit every so often to clean the air intake, especially if you are using any kind of bedding (low dust shavings, etc.). Hoping the second attempt with the regular model has more success.

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!

It's a fantastic product. It is well made and easy to install. It is a really cost effective and safe way to keep pets comfortable in cold Canadian conditions.

My company builds and sells high quality, luxury and standard dog houses all over Ontario and soon, Canada as a whole. We have been looking for a product that is reliable, safer and less complicated than heating lamps and believe this product is exactly what our customers need. However, we have had to delay two deliveries because the first two orders we placed were never shipped to us. This is a huge problem. Amazon has handled it well thus far and the manufacturer has been quite helpful in getting our problem solved to date. We understand that these things happen but can only hope that they remain diligent in getting our orders to us asap at no extra charge. As for the product itself; We are a busy shop with lots of orders. We know the business. This product is an excellent idea and in my opinion is both well thought out and beautiully designed.All in all, if you want the best for your dogs, buy this. Take it from a professional.

We bought the Hound Heater to put in our "cat house" for the winter. We live in Canada where it can get down to -40 C, and even when it gets very cold (so far this year only to -35C) the hound heater still keeps the house warm. The house is about the size of a large dog house, 4ft by 4ft on the inside, for reference. I highly recommend this product to keep your outside critters warm in the winter. On a low setting the heater would definitely keep the temperature above 0C and not make much of a difference on your power bill.

Worked great for me. Lived in Winnipeg, last week we dipped to -47 with the chill.Set the heater to med-high those days and my thermostat in there dipped to 11c overnight.No door, just a divider. 2x4 r12 insulated and sealed (except the door).My malinois did just fine.Think its a great product if it gives me a few years.. only had a couple months so far.
