Is this a trick question?

An animal is:
"A multicellular organism of the kingdom Animalia, differing from plants in certain typical characteristics such as capacity for locomotion, nonphotosynthetic metabolism, pronounced response to stimuli, restricted growth, and fixed bodily structure."
A house is:
"A structure serving as a dwelling for one or more persons, especially for a family."
So based on those commonly accepted definitions, though there are several other definitions, a house is something you can live in and an animal is a living thing, being one of several major differences between the two.
Unless you really meant horse not house, in which case an animal is a much broader term which includes horses whereas a horse is just one specific kind of animal. Like the difference between an iced tea and a beverage. A beverage includes all drinkable liquids whereas an iced tea is just one specific type of beverage.

An animal is a living moving thing, and a house is just a non-living building, which just stands there and people live in it.

An animal is a living thing and a house is an inanimate dwelling made of brick and stone. The things that humans live in.

An animal lives, breaths, reproduces and dies. A house does not.
