Owning a pet doesn’t always necessarily qualify as “domestic bliss.” After the honeymoon phase, it can, at times, become rather stressful. While keeping a pet outside 24/7 certainly isn’t the answer, giving them an outdoor safe haven where they can let loose can be mentally relieving for both you and your beloved animal. Luckily, there are plenty of different pet houses — both indoor and out — that can serve such a purpose for your cat or dog. If you’re considering purchasing a new hangout spot for your companion, you should consider some of the options below. Here are some of our picks for the best pet house.
Find the best pet house for your cats

When fully assembled, this cat condo measures in at 15.5″W x 15.5″L x 16.5″H, but it can collapse flat when not in use for easy storage. It’s made with brown faux suede and synthetic sheepskin for a comfortable, cat-friendly design, and features a plush hanging ball and “hide & seek” cut-outs for your cat to play with, a comfortable cushioned top for your cats to perch on top of, and a private den for your cat to retreat to when they’re growing tired of their human servants.
