Rank #2 in Best Dog Kennels 2026: 10 Ranked, Wood, Plastic and Metal
Aivituvin Outdoor Wooden Dog House with Insulated Liner
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Aivituvin AIR74 is a wooden outdoor dog house with a raised floor, an asphalt roof and an insulated liner, listed at £89.99 and rated 4.4 out of 5 from 421 ratings. It takes second place in this guide. Where the kennel at the top of the guide inflates its dimensions until they are two and a half times too big, this one has the opposite problem: it advertises space that its own measurements do not provide.
The second bullet says the space is "suitable for dogs up to 100 lbs", which is roughly 45 kg. The same bullet gives an inner size of 28.5L x 18.1W x 18.3H inches, so an inner height of 18.3 inches — 46.5 cm — and an entrance 16 inches (40.6 cm) high. A 45 kg dog does not stand upright in 46.5 cm of headroom, and does not walk through a 40.6 cm doorway without ducking. The listing does not address the gap; it simply prints the weight claim and the height in the same paragraph. The specification table, at least, agrees with the bullets rather than fighting them: 56D x 85W x 64H cm is the same as the 33.5 x 22 x 25.2 inches quoted as the outer size (85 cm is 33.5 in, 64 cm is 25.2 in). The first bullet makes a separate claim, that a 180 lb (about 82 kg) adult can sit on the ceiling. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this product, not from any test we ran.
