Gotta say, I just love these lightweight concrete dog and cat houses that double as planters from French company, Loft Dog. Even if you don’t have one, almost makes you want to get a pet just to have one these.

Made of micro-concrete, with two coats of an ornamental coating for a polished effect. Weigin in at 5 kg or about 11 lbs, the critter homes are offered in a few styles…

Great for outdoors…

Or indoors…

I’d love the Cocoon, above, in the garden as they look a bit like rocks.

Loft Dog offers 5 bed design models, like this one above.

Designing in collaboration with a company that specializes in concrete technology, all the houses and beds are available in a range of colors, though I must say I still really like the natural cement color.

For the real cosmopolitan dog, the New York style skyscraper-inspired bed.

I might add a soft blankie inside to cushion the pet, but they are stylish, oh so stylish.
