FAQ

What is PupHut?

PupHut is an indoor dog residence: a home of their own, built like fine furniture, for the dog who lives in your home. Solid maple, solid polished brass, and vegan materials throughout, made by hand in Canada.

Is PupHut a crate?

PupHut offers crate functionality for suitable dogs and households, but it is not a wire crate or a travel crate. It is built as a piece of furniture, made to be seen. See the full answer: What is an indoor dog residence?

When can I commission one?

The first commissions will open in a small opening release. The Atelier List hears first.

How much will a residence cost?

Pricing will be shared when commissioning opens. Every residence is built to commission, one at a time.

What sizes are available?

PupHut is designed for small to large dogs. Sizing is based on standing height and room to turn, not weight alone, so your dog can stand tall, settle, and stretch out. A full size guide arrives with commissioning.

What colours and finishes can I choose?

Each residence is finished in a curated palette of PupHut paints and finishes, chosen so the residence belongs in the room it lives in. The full palette is shared when commissioning opens.

What is the difference between an Open and a Private residence?

An Open residence has no door: an always-open home for the dog who simply wants a place of their own. A Private residence adds double doors that swing a full 270 degrees and rest flat against the sides, for the dogs and households that benefit from a closed door.

What are the Signature, Heirloom, and Bespoke Paths?

Every PupHut is commissioned along one of three Paths. The Signature Path is the complete PupHut experience, ready to commission. The Heirloom Path adds a further layer of materials and detail. The Bespoke Path is designed around your dog and your room, by application. The Paths are presented in full when commissioning opens.

What makes the design different?

The softly arched silhouette gives your dog room to stand tall. Slatted ventilation and arched windows keep air and light moving. Hardware is concealed and the brass is custom. And nothing rests on an arch: no books, no cups, no clutter overhead. The roof keeps the space beneath it theirs alone, quiet and undisturbed. The result is a calm, den-like place to rest, with air and light moving gently through. Every residence is designed to be lived in and loved for years.

How do you choose materials and finishes?

With your dog’s wellbeing in mind. Finishes are zero- and low-VOC, materials are vegan throughout, and every surface is chosen to be cleaned and lived with easily.

Is PupHut right for every dog?

PupHut is intended for suitable dogs and careful introductions. It is not intended for dogs who chew, scratch, panic, or attempt to escape confinement.

Where is PupHut made?

Every residence is commissioned, built, and finished by hand at The PupHut Atelier in Canada. Three years in the making, the first residences leave the Atelier in 2026.

What materials are used?

Solid maple, solid polished brass, and vegan materials throughout, with zero- and low-VOC finishes applied by hand. Natural, organic, and recycled materials are chosen where possible.

What is the Resident’s Key?

Every commission is held by a Resident’s Key: a numbered key in solid brass that arrives as a gift when a commission begins. Its full story is told when commissioning opens.

What does joining the Atelier List mean?

A place in line for news, nothing more. No deposit, no commitment. You hear first when the opening commissions are released.
