The Dog Corner — DIY Kit

Everything you need to turn the spot where your dog eats into a corner of your home you actually like looking at.

Your dog's corner is usually the one part of the house nobody decorated. A bowl pushed against a baseboard. A bag of food where you can reach it. It works, and it looks like it works.

This is a kit for changing that in an afternoon.

Inside the box: [X] framed pieces in mixed vintage finishes, a panel of gingham wall covering cut to size, trim to finish the edges, a paw print kit, and a name plaque for your dog. Plus instructions that assume you have never done this before.

Nothing needs to be measured. Nothing needs to be cut. The pieces are sized to work together and finished to match, so the wall reads collected rather than assembled — which is the part that's hard to get right when you're buying eleven things from eleven places.

You supply the dog, the corner, and about [90 minutes].

What's in the box

• × vintage-style frames, mixed sizes and finishes
• 1 × gingham wall panel, [DIMENSIONS], peel and stick
• ft × edge trim, pre-cut
• 1 × inkless paw print kit — no ink, no mess, safe on paws
• 1 × name plaque, [MATERIAL]
• 1 × instruction card
• [Mounting hardware / adhesive strips]

What's not in the box

Bowls, food storage, and the fountain are sold separately. If you want the full corner, the Steel Fountain is what we'd put there.

Why a kit and not a finished thing

We thought about selling this assembled. We decided against it, at least for now.

The reason people build these is that they want to have built them. The corner means something because you put it up, chose which photo went in which frame, and pressed your dog's paw onto the card yourself. Shipping that pre-made would remove the only part that isn't decoration.

So this ships flat, in pieces, with instructions.

FAQ

Will this work on a rented wall? The wall panel and trim are adhesive and designed to come off. As with anything adhesive, we'd test a small patch first — we can't speak for every paint job.

What size wall does it need? Roughly [W × H]. It's designed for a corner or a section of flat wall next to where your dog eats.

How long does it take to put up? About [90 minutes] the first time. No tools required beyond [scissors / a level].

Can I use it for a cat? Yes. Nothing about it is dog-specific except the name on the plaque. [Link: The Cat Corner] (only if it exists)

What if a frame arrives broken? Email hello@dukeanddot.com with a photo and we'll send a replacement. You don't need to ship anything back.

Is the paw print kit safe? It's an inkless transfer pad — your dog's paw touches a clean film, not ink. Wipes off with a damp cloth. [Confirm with supplier before publishing.]
