Tailor-Made for Fur Kids

Coral and white penny tiles combine to create a luxurious shower, and green tiles spell out "Woof" so that everyone knows whose bath this really is. A half-glass wall allows the homeowner to bathe the pup while keeping water from spraying outside of the shower.

Designed With Pup in Mind

This family dog may share her digs with a laundry room, but its ultra-chic style and plethora of amenities make it the perfect pairing. Tucked in the corner is a cozy bed and the adjacent cabinet holds food, treats and other essentials. The leather-handled drawer at the bottom pulls out to reveal food bowls and around the corner is another set of built-in stainless-steel bowls with a faucet above for fresh water.

Squeaky Clean

Keep the pup mess at bay with an oh-so-handy dog shower in the mudroom. The classic subway tile with dark grout makes for a striking pairing against the newspaper-print walls. Durable, easy-to-clean gray tiles ground the space in a herringbone pattern.

For the Loyal Companion

Crates do not have to be bleak affairs, as evidenced by this stylish white birch option. The double-wide crate gives even a large dog plenty of room to move around and the ventilation bars allow for ample airflow.
