About Tolotun Pet House

Last updated: July 3, 2026

At Tolotun Pet House, we design and handcraft wooden dog crates that work as real furniture in your home, building each one to order so it suits your space as naturally as it suits your dog. Every crate leaves our workshop as a piece you can be proud to keep in your living room, not a cage you want to hide away.

We believe a dog crate should do two things at once: give your dog a calm, secure place of their own, and look beautiful in the room you share. That single idea shapes every wooden crate we make.

Our Story: From a Family Woodworking Trade to Tolotun Pet House

Woodworking runs in our family, a craft handed down to us from our father, and in 2021 we brought that craft to pet furniture by founding Tolotun Dog House. We started with one simple belief: a dog crate should never have to be an eyesore in your home.

We had grown tired of seeing beautiful rooms interrupted by cold wire cages, so we set out to design something better, a wooden crate that doubles as genuine furniture while giving your dog a quiet, den-like retreat.

As our designs grew from a single crate into a full range of nightstands, end tables, corner units, and double crates, Tolotun Dog House became Tolotun Pet House. The name grew with us, but our workshop, our hands, and the standards we hold ourselves to never changed.

A Family Workshop in Antalya, Not a Factory

We are a small, family-run workshop in Antalya, Turkiye, where a husband-and-wife team builds every crate in small batches. We treat woodworking as a craft to be done well rather than a process to be rushed, and that shows in the finish of every piece.

Because nothing we make moves down an assembly line, we build your crate specifically for you, checking every joint, edge, and surface by hand before it is ever packed for shipping.

That hands-on care is why more than 1,000 customers across our own store and Etsy have welcomed our crates into their homes, and why so many of them come back or recommend us to other dog owners. We stay small enough to care about every single order, and serious enough to build furniture that lasts for years.

Why We Build Furniture-Style Wooden Dog Crates

Most standard dog crates are made from wire or plastic, and while they do the job, they often feel cold, look out of place, and turn a corner of your home into something you would rather cover up. We wanted to solve that.

A wooden dog crate changes the whole experience. Solid wood feels warmer and quieter than metal, it sits comfortably alongside your other furniture, and it gives your dog a more enclosed, reassuring space rather than an exposed cage.

By designing our crates as furniture first, we let you keep your dog close in any room without compromising on how that room looks. A Tolotun crate can serve as a side table, a nightstand, or a quiet corner piece, all while being your dog's favorite spot in the house.

Crates Designed Around Your Dog's Comfort

Dogs are natural den animals, and many feel calmest in a cozy, enclosed space they can call their own. A well-made wooden crate works with that instinct, offering a secure retreat where your dog can rest, settle, and feel safe.

That sense of security can make our crates a genuine help with everyday life at home, from giving a new puppy a defined space during house-training to offering an older dog a quiet place to escape the noise of a busy household.

We design every crate with your dog's wellbeing in mind, with smooth surfaces, sturdy construction, and proportions that give your dog room to stand, turn, and lie down in comfort.

Designed to Fit Your Home

We make crates for people who care about their homes as much as their dogs. Each design is meant to blend into your interior rather than fight against it, whether your style leans modern, classic, or somewhere in between.

Place one in the living room as a side table, beside the bed as a nightstand, or in a corner where space is tight, and it earns its place as furniture while quietly serving as your dog's den.

Because the crate doubles as a useful surface, you reclaim the floor space that a bulky wire kennel would normally take up, which matters most in smaller homes and apartments.

Our Collection of Handcrafted Dog Crates

Over time we have grown our range so there is a wooden crate to suit different dogs, rooms, and tastes. Our designs include clean indoor crates, space-saving corner units, nightstand and end-table styles, mid-century inspired pieces, and larger double crates with drawers for homes with more than one dog.

Every style carries the same handcrafted quality and pet-safe finish, so the only real decision is which shape and size fits your dog and your space best.

If you are not sure which model suits you, we are always glad to help you choose before you order.

Furniture-Grade Materials and Pet-Safe Craftsmanship

We build our crates from furniture-grade plywood, offered in 10mm (3/8 inch) and 15mm (5/8 inch) thicknesses to match different models and dog sizes. Our heavier 15mm builds are engineered for larger breeds and tested to support more than 90 kg (200 lbs), so they stand up to real, everyday use.

What we apply to the wood matters just as much as the wood itself. We finish every crate with water-based, pet-safe, non-toxic oils, because your dog will spend long hours resting against these surfaces and we will not put anything harsh between them and the wood.

The result is a crate that feels solid, looks refined, and is built to be lived with rather than replaced.

Custom and Made-to-Measure Dog Crates

Not every dog or every home fits a standard size, so we also build custom, made-to-measure crates around your exact needs. If you have a particular space to fill or a dog whose measurements fall between our standard options, we can craft a crate that is right for you.

Just reach out with what you have in mind, including your dog's size and the space you are working with, and we will guide you through your options.

How We Make and Deliver Your Crate

Every crate follows the same careful journey from your order to your doorstep. Once you choose your model, size, and finish, we begin building your crate to order, a process that usually takes about three to seven business days.

When the woodwork is complete, we finish, inspect, and pack your crate into protective flat-pack packaging designed for safe long-distance shipping. It arrives with clear instructions and is straightforward to assemble, and depending on the model that means either a tool-free setup or a few minutes with an included Allen key or a basic screwdriver or drill.

You can find full timeframes and details in our Shipping Policy, and we send tracking as soon as your crate is on its way.

Free Shipping with All Duties Covered

For our US customers, shipping is free and we cover all customs duties and import taxes ourselves. That means the price you see at checkout is the price you pay, with no surprise fees waiting for you on delivery.

We think buying a crate should be as straightforward as the crate itself, so we keep our pricing honest and our delivery clear from start to finish.
