Designing a custom home is the perfect opportunity to create a space that works for every member of the family, including the four-legged ones. 

If you’re a pet owner, adding a few thoughtful features can make daily life easier, cleaner, and more comfortable for both you and your furry friends. Here's some of our favorite features that you should consider adding to your build!

In-Home Bath Station

Tucked just off the lanai, this bath station is the real MVP of messy days.  

Whether your furry friends have been playing in the rain or just came back from a hike, this setup lets you rinse off, clean up, and keep the mess outside. No tracking mud through the house. No scrambling to the nearest bathroom with muddy feet. Just convenience, comfort, and a little bit of sanity saved.

Built in Pet Gate  

This pull out pet gate is seamlessly built into the door frame, offering a sleek and functional way to keep pets contained without the hassle of bulky, standalone gates. 

When needed, it easily slides out to create a secure barrier and when you're done, it disappears right back into the frame for a clean, unobtrusive look. Perfect for maintaining flow and style in your home, while keeping your pets safe.

Smart Pet Door

These innovative pet doors use smart technology to give your pets the freedom to come and go, while keeping your home secure. Activated by a special collar, the door only opens for your pet, preventing stray animals or intruders from gaining access. With features like automatic locking, directional control, and customizable settings, they offer a perfect balance of convenience and peace of mind.

Pull Out Doggy Bowls

Built right into your cabinetry, these pull out doggy bowls are a smart and stylish solution for pet owners. They keep feeding areas tidy by hiding bowls when not in use, reducing clutter and mess. 

Plus, the elevated height is ideal for taller pets, helping to ease neck strain and making mealtime more comfortable.
