I don't have the dog house that this was designed for, however I have a puppy pass thru in my screen room that needed something to help keep the flies and mosquitos out. This is doing the trick. The dogs are not afraid of it because they can see through it, and the strips are nice and wide. This was 1" too long for my application, however the strips cut very easily with my kitchen shears. I am a happy patio person now!!
