Providing man's best friend with shelter from the elements is one of the most important responsibilities that comes with owning a dog. These wooden dog houses give your beloved pets somewhere to get out of the rain or sun, or a place to just hang out in when they're tired of running around the yard. We selected options that can withstand all types of weather yet still look attractive. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes

June 18, 2020:

Choosing a dog house for your furry friend requires more thought than just the price tag. Size is a definite factor, as you need to ensure that your large dog will fit comfortably inside. You will find a vast array of choices, including options made from plastic or wood. Here, we focused on wooden choices.

Aesthetically, wooden houses often have more visual appeal, such as the Innovation House with its unique, cartoonish design. Although it is not insulated, a heater solves that issue. The Trixie Kennel is another simple, yet beautifully-designed house that adds style to your yard, unlike plastic igloo-style options. Wood is also quite durable, and all of our options are treated to provide protection from the weather, like the Pets Imperial Norfolk, which is simple, but large and durable.

If you are looking for more features, the PawHut House has a lounging porch area for your pet, and the Merry Pet House goes even one step further by featuring a rooftop balcony. If tradition is more your flavor, consider the Tangkula Pet Home with its basic A-frame construction. While you are choosing a home for your dog, don't forget to look at cat houses, too, as your feline friend deserves a house of its own, too.
