Sustainable Dog Houses from Oakland Designer
My friend Aaron was over the other night and kept bugging me about “Hey, you have to look at my friend Stephanie’s site. She makes great sustainable dog houses.” Being a product person, I get this a lot. So, naturally, I was invisibly rolling my eyes as I walked to the computer to check out her site, SustainablePet.com.
Awesome stuff. I love the hard architectural elements of the structures integrated with the soft beauty of the plants. Not just a pretty doggie diggs, Oakland designer Stephanie Rubin thought this out quite well. She designed the units to smell good, grow plants, attract butterflies, filter water, insulate, and repel fleas. All naturally.
However, at $6,000 (that’s for the extra large, and I have two so make that $12,000), I’m not sure I would let my dogs near one.
This one would be superb as a Valentines Day gift, if you have tons of money, of course. How great is the heart opening placed on a corner?
This yellow house is a fun architectural structure combined with soft, organic shapes of plants. It is more like a sculpture than a dog house. Simply great.

If you’ve been attacked by chiggers while hiking or have experienced skin allergies related to your dogs, then you definitely should try this. I can’t believe after more than a year of dermatologist visits and researching solutions for my skin allergies (not to mention the thousand of dollars in Vet bills that resulted in zero help) - I finally found out about Sawyer’s permethrin products. Permethrin is a lotion mainly prescribed by doctors for scabies, but what is less known is it also works as reppellent and insecticide for mosquitoes, flies, chiggers, mites, etc. Sawyer developed this product with the military - they use permethrin to soak their uniforms and tents. The repellent works for 14 days after soak. It is completely safe to use on skin (accordingly, of course). Works for dogs too. However, it is poisonous to cats.
