Eco-friendly Doghouse Heated and Cooled with GeoThermal Energy
Looking for a doghouse that’s cool for Fido in the summer and warm in the winter? Try one that installs underground and takes advantage of the earth’s insulation.
The DogEden doghouse is supposed to appeal to a dog’s natural instincts to build dens in the ground. It also features 20% recycled materials, a built-in tie out, and self-heating and cooling (according to the site, when it is a cold -2 F/-18 C outside, it’ll be a comfortable 48 F/ 9 C inside, and when it’s a hot 105 F/41 C outside, it’ll be a cool 72 F/22C inside).
The underground dog house comes with a life time warranty, and there is no assembly required (of course, you’ll have to dig a hole to put it in!).
The DogEden house costs $400 and looks to be fairly indestructible. Of course, I’d never convince my dogs to move outside–they’d much prefer to make use of the climate controlled people house.

This is a brilliant idea! Why was this never done before? This is so logical.Dog owners will love this item. I like the Green aspect. Using the earths insulating capabilities and using recycled materials. This is a winner!

Great idea! Will buy one and tell all my friends. God Bless!

this isnt a good/finished idea. if something were to crawl in there (say a snake?) doggies a little trapped. Also, if it rains?? theres nothing there to keep the rain from coming in at the doorway, when it splatters on the ground…its an interesting/good idea, but needs some improvement!

I believe the overhang is large enough to keep rain from flooding in. And dogs are less oblivious to things than humans, so I’m sure they’d know if something dangerous (snake) was in there. Still, my dogs prefer the human bedroom and the human bed for sleeping, so I wouldn’t know for sure.

Not to mention from the scale of the drawing, how is the dog to get in, turn around, much less EXIT the enclosure, this looks more like some kind of flinstone garbage disposal in modern times.
