Dog Bowls

Most people have a designated area where they feed the dogs, so why not get some bright bowls or use your handyman skills to put together this food/water holder.

Dog Kennel

You can still use pallets to create a bit of shelter for bigger outside-only dogs. For a classic look, the triangle dog kennel will only require a few pallets and a coat of weather-safe lacquer.

Puppy Potty

Another apartment essential is a place for them to do their ‘business’ whilst you’re at work during the day. For young pups, you could train them to use something like this fake grass pallet potty. This way they’ll learn not to go inside.
