Architectura - modernist house for your dog

You might not be able to afford a modernist home, but you can afford to buy one for your dog with the Architectura.

And it's a pretty cool place for your four-legged friend to hang out. Inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, it has slatted walls on two sides for ventilation and room to relax both indoors and outdoors on the roof, both fitted with carpet. Alternatively, there's a larger version finished for the outdoors.

Available in a choice of natural and orange finishes, prices start at $349 (around £175). Oh yes - and cats can use it too.

Rocket Bowl retro pet carrier

I can't say I'm a great believer in pets as accessories. Indeed, if our dog was placed in a bag, he would probably eat his way out. But if you like the idea of parading around with your pampered pooch, this Rocket Bowl retro pet carrier will certainly look the part.

It's a design based on a vintage bowling bag, with a wipe-clean exterior, metal feet and a slot for your pet's head. Inside is fully lined, including a polyester fleece bottom, with the bag capable of holding a dog up to 9lb in weight.

Available in black or red, you can pick one up online for $64.06 (around £33).

Ben Sherman Dog Father dog bed

Well, the company's current efforts in fashion aren't anything to shout about these days, so it's no surprise to see Ben Sherman doing a spot of diversifying. Although this Dog Father dog bed seems a bit of a strange route to take.

I'm guessing this is being pitched as a mod-themed dog bed, with a play on the Paul Weller mod father nickname and the Union Jack logo on the cushion inside. On a more practical note, it is foam-filled, with a soft fleece lining and is machine washable.

Sized for small to medium dogs, it retails for £19.99. Bulldog not included.

Retro Retreat: Caban Casita, Wales

Caban Casita is a delightful Scandinavian-style cabin, located in Cenarth, a Carmarthenshire village just inland from Cardigan Bay.

Built in 1973, it was designed by the Welsh architect Graham Brooks in a woodland site as part of one of the first eco-friendly tourist plans. It was restored earlier this year, but still maintains many of its original features that won Brooks several awards.

Cabin Casita is one of three similar cabins in the same location, all decorated in fantastic retro style - Cabin Casita boasts an Eero Aarnio Globe Chair.

But unique selling point of this one is that it is dog-friendly and the second bedroom has been re-designed especially for canine companions with a fitted dog bed and feeding bowls. The dog motive is continued in the pop artwork on the pine walls of the cabin.

Psychedelic Snuggle Dog Bed

There have been other pet beds featured here in the past, but they have tended to be high-end stuff, pet-sized reproductions of classic furniture. This one is somewhat different.

The Psychedelic Snuggle Dog Bed isn’t going to win any design awards and it is someway off being a classic, but it looks pretty comfortable, which most dogs will appreciate more than style. It comes in four different sizes and a choice of two colour schemes; blue patterned with green lining or pink patterned with pink lining – the pattern being a fabulous flower print. A matching bone-shaped cushion is provided.

Prices start at £35 for the smallest size, up to £45 for the largest on the Plush Petz website.
