Dog Mansions

Is Fido's plain-jane outdoor home bringing down the value of your palatial abode? Upgrade them to one of these Dog Mansions (€1,900-€2,950; roughly $2,325-$3,600). Available in the antebellum-style Alabama, contemporary-approved Cubix, Ikea-like Lönneberga, and the fanciful Fairytale, these high-end hound homes are made to order from premium materials like varnished wood and break-proof window glass, engraved with a serial number and delivered with a customized certificate. As if the damn furry things didn't cost enough already.

Pet Chalet

Made from 100% recycled cardboard and shipped flat... it's an Ikea box! No, actually it's the Pet Chalet ($26), an affordable eco-friendly domain for your furry friend(s). Complete with faux woodgrain graphics and a cardboard plaque (moose, fish, bird, and banner all included) above the doorway, it's one stylish piece of cardboard. The Chalet also includes three cardboard balls and a textured cardboard carpet.

Bark4Beer Collar

It's always a pain when you have an ice cold import in your hand but can't locate your bottle opener, but odds are that you can locate your dog (if you have one, of course). The makers of the Bark4Beer Collar ($15) know this as well, which is why they integrated a retractable bottle opener into this rugged black collar, ensuring that the key to frosty relief is never more than a shout away.

Found Collars & Leashes

Get some new gear for your kitty or pooch while helping out some less-fortunate animals by picking up some Found Collars & Leashes ($42-$76). Produced by local craftsmen in the Brooklyn, NY and New England areas, the orange collars and harnesses are made from Waxwear 100% cotton canvas that's coated with animal safe wax for weatherproofing and increased strength, while the leashes and leads are made from custom-made, ultra-strong rope, with whipped ends for added durability and solid brass o-rings and solid bronze clips for years of use. And 25% of all the profits goes directly to the Louis Animal Foundation, a non-profit that spays/neuters and finds homes for animals.

Behold the awesome old school goodness of these vintage-printed, buttery-soft Homage T-Shirts. They turn back the clock with shout outs to eclectic moments and personalities in sports, music, politics and popular culture. From Bruce Lee to Larry Bird, the tees tell stories of triumph, individualism and hustle. Pay Homage.

ZeroEdge Aquariums

Infinity pools have been around for a while, so it only makes sense someone would apply the same idea to another home-sized water feature: the aquarium. ZeroEdge Aquariums ($600 and up) do exactly that, providing overflowing aquatic environments for all types of fish and sea creatures in a variety of styles and shapes, ensuring you can find one that's right for your home or office. Just remember: no edge equals no lid, so be sure to keep the Darla-types away. [Thanks, Brian]

Pet's Eye View Digital Camera

Ever wonder what your pet sees all day long? Find out with the Pet's Eye View Digital Camera ($50). This collar-mountable 640x480 digital camera features an automatic timer to snap photos every minute, 5 minutes, or 15 minutes from your pet's perspective, a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery, and 8MB of internal storage. What to do with all those pics? Give your dog or cat his/her own Flickr page.

eiCrate

It's bad enough you force man's best friend into a cage every night, so at least get him one that will make his friends jealous. Like the ultra modern eiCrate ($320). Ideal for dogs 4 lbs to 40 lbs, it features a removable leak-proof liner and can be used indoors or out. Available in four powder-coated color finishes and one ridiculous 22.5k gold version ($11,000). There's also an eiCrate Fitted Cover ($180) that helps especially yelpy dogs to sleep.

Bite Me Chew Toy

Replace your pup's nasty ragged toy with this T-Bone inspired Bite Me Chew Toy ($10). Made of non-toxic leatherette, it's bound to last longer — and look better — than any old tennis ball. A humorous "Rare" tag is added just for kicks. It's Steak!!!

Browning Passage Pet Cave

This one-of-a-kind den is the ultimate hideout for your pirate pup. Named after an inlet off Tofino, B.C. where its wooden arch was found floating, the Browning Passage Pet Cave ($5,900) is made from reinforced, paper mache stone, features a spacious, cushioned main living area and comes with its own sidekick rock.

Nature Aquariums

You're due for a new hobby. How about curator one of these spectacular Nature Aquariums ($TBD) from Aqua Forest Aquarium in San Francisco. Instead of the usual gravel-and-ceramic-sunken-ship styling of your average fish tank, these aquariums are professionally designed with real aquatic plants to create stunning natural dioramas. We're sure one of these things will run you a boat load, but you can't put a price on zen like this. [More Photos | via]

Little Dead Things

Calling your cat "Mr. Sweet Pants" all day long is not manly. Letting him play with these gloomy toys is. The Little Dead Things set ($14) includes four recycled leather cat toys — a dead mouse, a dead bird, one human brain, and one zombie. They're made to order in your choice of leather and thread colors. [via]

Eddie's Room

If you really love your pet, and have a similar affinity for great design, you might consider checking out Eddie's Room ($600). This stylish and modern pet house is made from furniture grade walnut or white acrylic, and features a simple rectangular shape with a single round hole for the doorway. It might not fall under the traditional definition of a dog house, but isn't that the point?
