16 Adorable Indoor And Outdoor Dog Houses Both You And Your Pet Will Love

Everyone needs a time out now and again. And whether inside or outdoors, a dog house provides a soothing spot for your pup to chill out after a vigorous fetch session or just to escape the hot sun. Before you purchase, you'll want to consider the size you need and where you are planning to place this special shelter. Also, consider your dog's preferences: Some dogs love a more open vibe, while others are into a more enclosed feel, so keep this in mind while selecting a dog house. The good news is that there are plenty of stylish options that will work perfectly without disrupting the flow of your decor.

Whether you're on the hunt for an extra-large dog kennel that's weatherproof, a petite retreat for your pooch that fits in a family room, or a collapsible style to keep your canine bestie cozy wherever they decide to curl up, we've got you (and them) covered. From outdoor styles that come with porches to chic, indoor crate alternatives, here is a round-up of 16 fab dog houses, and some adorable dogs enjoying them.

The modern design of this wooden dog (or cat) house from Etsy leaves enough open space to keep your pet well-ventilated but still gives them privacy. It comes with a machine-washable dog bed too. You can also order custom colors and sizes, as well as get Fido's name painted on the front panel. Though coated in waterproof materials, we recommend this style be for inside or under a covered patio only.

4. Best Plastic Dog House: Giantex Plastic Elevated Dog House, From $99.99

Though not the most aesthetically stylish plastic dog house, this Giantex model for medium and large dogs is extremely durable and ideal for backyards.

5. Best Dog House With Ramp: Tucker Murphy Furlow Walnut Dog House, $232.99

This Tucker Murphy dog house will work perfectly in any modern interior. And, not only does this stylish shelter come with a hidden toy box and cubby-dog bed included, but it features an anti-slip surface ramp so your four-legged friend can walk up and down the ramp with ease for the perfect spot to spy on squirrels. The design is not weatherproof, so heads up this dog house is for inside the house only.

6. Best Cabin Dog House: Trixie Natura Lodge Dog House, $181.99

This solid pine mini log cabin look is exactly what any outdoor-loving pooch needs. Coated entirely with durable weatherproof materials, the cozy house from Chewy features removable indoor flooring for easy clean-up from muddy paws. And adjustable legs with plastic-tipped feet can level the lodge out if the ground beneath is a bit uneven.

8. Best Dog Crate/House Hybrid: Moon Designs Dog Crate, from $350

If you're looking for more of a hybrid between a dog crate and a dog house, as well as something that fits into your home's decor, this plywood piece from Moon Designs on Etsy might just check off all those boxes. The door slides in place to cover the entry and locks with a wooden dowel to keep them safe and help them crate train. The style comes in three sizes, but they also do custom work if you have an extra-large dog.

9. Best Minimalist Dog House: Frisco Classic Wooden Dog House, from $249.99

Are we the only ones getting modern farmhouse vibes from this Frisco dog house we found on Chewy? The durable weatherproof materials will withstand any outdoor elements.

Plus, a removable floor makes cleaning off muddy paw prints easy-peasy.

12. Best Soft Dog House: Boissonneault Felt Pet Cave, From $58

This cozy and adorable pet cave from AllModern comes in four sizes, but note the extra-large only fits up to 35 pounds. The cone shape fits in with any interior and can be folded up easily, so it's also a great dog house for travel. The cozy striped cushion comes with a removable cover that's machine washable.

13. Best Classic Dog House: Petmate Dogloo, From $82.99

This classic igloo-inspired shelter from Petmate is sturdy and weatherproof, making it the perfect choice for an outdoor setting.

15. Best Midcentury Modern Dog House: Kokaa Store Bungalo Pet House, from $231.43

On the hunt for a dog house that fits into your midcentury modern surroundings? We love this style from Kokaa Store on Etsy not only because it's stylish, but also because of how it serves double duty as an excellent end table. There are four choices of finishes for this chic plywood look, and it comes with an extra cozy dog bed too. The size probably works best for small or medium pups, but they offer custom orders as well if you're looking for a large dog.

16. Best Contemporary Dog House: Holyfield Dog House, $410

For a small dog with a big attitude, go with something architecturally inspired, like this minimalist look from AllModern. Triangular cutouts on the walls allow natural light and air to flow through. The ultra-chic house for pooches 12 pounds and under comes complete with a microfiber dog bed to keep them cozy or cool depending on the season.
