“Emma” – Handmade Dog Cave from Cotton Yarn

The “Emma” dog cave is a cozy retreat for small dogs. It combines the comfort of a dog bed, dog basket and dog house in one product. Your dog will find warmth and relaxation inside this soft hideaway. This cozy retreat is perfect for snuggling, sleeping, and feeling safe. It's perfect for small dogs like Chihuahuas, Mini-Dachshunds, Yorkies, Westies and so on.

Each cave is handmade in my small manufactory in Lower Saxony, Germany. I use high-quality tube yarn: the outer material is certified cotton (Oeko-Tex Standard 100, GOTS), filled with soft polyester fiber for extra comfort. This makes the “Emma” dog cave both durable and sustainable.

The minimalist design blends perfectly into any interior style – whether Scandinavian, modern, boho or classic. A practical and stylish piece of pet furniture for your home.

Why "Emma" is the perfect choice:

✔ Handmade in Germany – each cave is a unique piece

✔ 100% organic cotton outside– GOTS & OEKO-TEX certified

✔ Soft polyester filling – for extra comfort

✔ Sustainable & non-toxic – safe for pets & planet

Note on form

The cave is soft and flexible due to the hand-knitted and crocheted structure. It has no rigid frame and may flatten if your dog lies on top. Simply reshape it with your hands.

Each item is custom-made after your order. Minor variations in shape and color are part of the handmade charm. Color may appear different on screens.

Please note: The light colour shown in the pictures with the two Dachshunds in, is no longer available! 

Notice for customers outside the European Union:

On product pages, prices may first appear including German VAT. Once you select your non-EU destination country in the shopping cart, the price will automatically update to show the amount without VAT. Orders shipped outside the EU are not charged German VAT.

Please keep in mind:

When the product arrives in your country , customs duties, import fees, or local taxes may apply. These charges vary from country to country.

You must cover these costs yourself – they are not paid by me. Please check with your local customs office or relevant authorities to find out which fees may apply in your country.

Your review helps me a lot

As a small business, I depend on reviews – they make my work more visible and help other customers decide with confidence. Since the review function here is still new, there are only a few ratings so far. On Etsy, however, you can already find more than 800 positive reviews of my products. Your feedback here makes a big difference for me – thank you so much!
