How to find an innovative and eco-friendly indoor dog house for small dogs and cats

An innovative indoor dog bed combines comfort and well-being for your pet with practicality, durability, sustainability, and aesthetics for your home. Here's how DDplus Pet sees it.

General principles:

• Designed around the needs of the dog/cat (size, age, health);

• Easy to clean while respecting hygiene standards;

• Made with safe, non-toxic, and, where possible, sustainable materials;

• Aesthetically integrated into the home decor (not an "object to hide").

Materials:

• Frame: FSC-certified wood (FITOK), low-VOC MDF, certified or recycled plastic for washable versions;

• Padding: Orthopedic support foams (certified memory foam), natural wool or recycled fibers for eco-friendly alternatives, certified polyester wadding;

• Coverings: Removable and washable fabrics (organic cotton, stain-resistant microfiber, and other fabrics treated with non-toxic finishes);

• Treatments and adhesives: Water-based, low-VOC, formaldehyde-free.

Safety and Use:

• Rounded edges, no small detachable parts;

• Non-slip base and easy lifting; suitable openings for cats;

• Removable and repairable, with spare parts available.

Maintenance;

• Removable, machine-washable covers; mattresses with internal waterproof treatment to protect against liquids.

Design and home integration:

• Clean and modular lines: the dog house can be integrated into various furnishing contexts;

• A variety of colours and textures to match your decor.
