As man's best friends, dogs deserve the best in life, and when it comes to housing, a UK company is ready to offer them just that. Hecate Verona is all set to launch the world's first line of luxury dog mansions¹, with the most expensive models costing up to $200,000.

 

狗狗是人类最好的朋友，它们应该得到最幸福的生活，而一家英国公司准备从居住条件入手，让他们幸福。海克缇·维罗纳准备推出全球首款豪华狗屋，最昂贵的房型售价高达20万美元（约合人民币136万）。
 

 

Hardwood floors made from beech², oak and larch³, walls, columns and balconies carved from marble and dolomite, indoor and outdoor lighting⁴, treat dispensers, TV and sound system, these are just some of the things you can expect when paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for a luxury dog house for your beloved, pampered⁵ pet. They are the best pet homes money can buy, but with prices starting at around $40,000 and reaching up to $200,000 for the high-end models, you're going to have to spend a lot of it.

 

During the development stage, Hecate Verona ran several tests on different breeds, and consulted experienced veterinarians in order to create the perfect living space for dogs. "As a result, the living space has been divided into a bedroom and living room, with the latter giving a good panoramic⁶ overview⁷ of the surroundings," Luxuo reports. "Windows have been lowered accordingly to the dog's height which gives the dog a clear view of the surroundings and its territory."

 

The design and manufacturing of these exquisite⁸ dog mansions is led by a team of craftsmen⁹ with experience in yacht building, with the utmost attention to detail. The company also invites customers to work with the designers in order to implement¹⁰ their own ideas for the house they wish to purchase for their pet. Only when the customer is happy with the design and features, does the house go into production.
