HOUNDHOUSE COLLAPSIBLE KENNEL
"I looked at a few different types of dog
houses, this one came up trumps for my
needs - easy to assemble and to put back
down again - perfect for camping trips,
light weight and packs away in its bag.
I have two dogs, the male jumped in it
straight away, my female is being cautious.
Very happy with this product and it met
all my expectations. Value for money. My
girlfriend loved it so much she is going to
buy one too for her dogs."
