As much as I love spending time with my own cats, I’m honestly running out of ways to keep them entertained and prevent them from knocking down an item or two in my home, out of sheer boredom. If you’re pretty much in the same precarious situation as me, then this collection of pet products promises to come to your rescue! From a drying chamber for cats to a side table that also gives your cat a cozy home– these product designs will take good care of your pet, and keep them active and content! You can take a little breather, while they wrestle around with these newfound fun products! These are the pet products you need in your home.
1. Doze
Doze is a side table where you can put some of your stuff while working, like a notebook or a cup of coffee or a glass of wine to energize you or just some pieces of decoration. The space for your stuff is actually a removable tray that you can attach or remove.
Why is it noteworthy?
The important part of this furniture though is the semi-enclosed space that is made for your pet dog. Whether they just want to rest in it or play on their own while keeping a close eye on you while you work, the dog bed seems to be pretty comfortable. It has a customizable bed cover that is made from hypoallergenic memory foam so it is both comfy and also good for their joints and bones. Memory foam is known to distribute the user’s weight and remember their shape.
What we like
- The side table that is also a dog bed benefits both the pet and the owner
- Help you in your productivity and not make you want to doze off yourself when you see your dog comfortably napping in their bed
What we dislike
- No complaints!
2. Igloo
“Igloo” might be a weird name for a table, but it is a very accurate description of the odd structure beneath the tabletop. Although it looks almost like an odd UFO, the flattened sphere is designed to be a cozy bed for your feline.
Why is it noteworthy?
Rather than a typical box, a round shape was chosen because it conformed better to how cats often curl up when sleeping. The shape is also almost completely closed off save for the oval opening in front, providing the warmth cats crave in boxes.
What we like
- It provides both functionality and decor to living spaces shared with animals
What we dislike
- No complaints!
3. Dmuse
Dmuse is a sauna-like drying chamber for cats to have a comfortable place to dry themselves after a bath.
Why is it noteworthy?
While getting cats into the bathtub for cleaning can feel like pulling your own teeth, it’s only half the battle. Then comes the water and we all know how cats deal with that. Take that in addition to drying your cat in a towel and you’ll end up with scratches and tooth marks up and down your arms. Introducing Dmuse, Designer Dot created a drying chamber that doubles as a cat tower as a solution for cats to have a more comfortable way of drying themselves.
What we like
- A collection of control options manage the device’s temperature, strength, timer, and heat fan
- Dmuse doubly operates as a cat tower for cats to rest and play even when they’re dry
What we dislike
- We’re not sure if cats would actually enter the chamber
4. KiTiDOT
Simply put, KiTiDOT is a cat collar with a laser pointer built into the front. Sort of like suspending a carrot in front of a horse to get it to move forward, the KiTiDOT projects a laser dot right in front of your cat, bamboozling it for potentially hours at an end.
Why is it noteworthy?
Since the laser light is mounted to your cat, the dot moves every time your cat does. In other words, your cat effectively entertains itself so you don’t have to step away from your work to keep your pet occupied. It also means you may have to watch out for any breakable objects around your house because there’s no saying how things could turn out!
What we like
- KiTiDOT keeps your cats active and gets all the zoomies out of them so they don’t stomp all over your keyboard while you’re working
What we dislike
- No complaints!
5. Guacal
Well-designed, smart, and functional product designs can make your pet’s life easier, more comfortable, and fun! And if they manage to provide some utility to your living space and you, then it’s quite literally the best of both worlds. One such example of an innovative design that caters to the needs of both pets and humans is – Guacal.
Why is it noteworthy?
Designed by Andrés Cáceres, Guacal is a cute pet carrier that seems to double up as a stool for humans! Mimicking a mini stool, Guacal takes on a squarish form with rounded edges. The lower section seems to function as the pet carrier with transparent panels supporting the entire structure, allowing you to keep an eye on your pet at all times. The upper section features a wooden base, which seems to serve as the seating area for you!
What we like
- Multifunctional design
- Meets the needs of pets and humans alike
What we dislike
- It’s still a concept!
6. The Cottage dog house
The Cottage dog house is a minimalist dog house made from metallic elements and eco-friendly felt coverings.
Why is it noteworthy?
Your dog deserves a corner of the home to call its own. Whether that means creating your own pillow fort around your dog’s bed or buying the latest, greatest dog house that only fits in the backyard, it’s up to you. Typically, dogs aren’t too fussy and they’ll find comfort wherever there’s a hint of it–on your lap or under the couch. The Cottage dog house from LSY and Jaeyeon Choi is a new kind of minimalist dog house that taps into comfort with a felt covering and sturdy build.
What we like
- The internal cushion is meant to provide ultimate comfort for your canine friend
- The removable roof allows for open-air or semi-enclosed sleeping
What we dislike
- The aesthetics are a bit too simple
7. Petvation
We live in a time of AI-powered facial recognition, and those don’t actually have to limited to be limited to humans. In fact, there are plenty of examples where AI accurately recognizes different kinds of animals, and that is exactly the kind of technology that serves as the foundation of Petvation’s innovative smart pet door. In a nutshell, this door can distinguish your pet’s face from other animals to make sure it only opens your home to extended members of your family.
Why is it noteworthy?
Petvation is a lot more sophisticated and a lot smarter than that, of course. It also has motion detectors to make sure that it closes the door only after your pet has gone through it completely. And just to be completely sure, it also has an anti-pinch sensor that can detect objects as small as 0.2 inches, ensuring that no tail will be harmed ever again. And last but definitely not least, the door runs a self-diagnostic check every time it opens and closes to make sure everything is in order and warn you if one of its sensors isn’t working properly. Of course, everything can also be controlled and monitored through your phone app, putting you in complete control of the door and your pets, not the other way around.
What we like
- It also has motion detectors to make sure that it closes the door only after your pet has gone through it completely
- The door runs a self-diagnostic check every time it opens and closes to make sure everything is in order and warn you if one of its sensors isn’t working properly
What we dislike
- No complaints!
8. Solar
MyZoo, a cat goods company, designs modern cat furniture that caters to your cat’s every need, while not disrupting your interior design. Solar, one of their more recent designs, is a wall-mountable floating cat bed that mounts onto any vertical surface so cats rest midair in their own designated space.
Why is it noteworthy?
Shaped like the sun, Solar is a small, but sturdy floating cat bed that’s built from pinewood. In a similar fashion to their other pieces of cat furniture, MyZoo lined Solar with a slotted resting platform for safe jumping. Ideal for small spaces, Solar provides a resting spot and jumping platform for your cat and saves space in the meantime.
What we like
- Solar doesn’t take up any ground space and easily mounts to any wall where there’s room
- Easy to assemble
What we dislike
- There’s no cushioning on the bed, which would make it comfier
9. The Dome-Home
The Dome-Home is not exactly expensive, but it looks like something that you would spend a lot of money on. The design is cutting-edge, something that we don’t usually expect from a dog kennel. But then again, when there is the topic of design, any object can be given a new iteration.
Why is it noteworthy?
Foster + Partners has submitted an entry into the Barkitecture competition at a major pet event. The Dome-Home features a geometric form that creatives and design enthusiasts will love even if they don’t exactly love dogs. At the Goodwoof pet event held over the weekend, Norman Foster proudly showcased the plush kennel to dog owners. Foster described the product with a geodesic shell structure. He also noted, “it is like architecture in miniature,” and we can agree that it is a sight to behold.
What we like
- Unique geometric form
- A flexible padded fabric liner complements the bowl-shaped interior for your dog’s comfort
What we dislike
- No complaints!
10. Scope
This concept called Scope is a dog leash that can give you a bit more control over your pet and at the same time also give you a visual guide on what your dog may be feeling, in case you couldn’t decipher it yet.
Why is it noteworthy?
It looks like a leash and tape measure rolled into one and the measuring function is the one that gives you an idea of what emotion your dog is currently exhibiting. But in case you didn’t need to know that, this tool can just be something to give you a semblance of control over the dog while you’re walking.
What we like
- The visual guide is there to tell you what your pet may be feeling, depending on the length of the leash that he is currently giving you
What we dislike
- It’s still a concept!
