Handcrafted furniture for you and your pets, designed to blend beautifully into your home.
Locally Sourced
Each piece starts with Eastern White Pine, responsibly sourced from local mills. Mennonite artisans hand-cut and shape every board before it spends six weeks in a local kiln. A process that enhances its durability and reveals the subtle beauty of the grain. This union of traditional craftsmanship and natural materials creates heirloom-quality furniture that’s both enduring and comfortably lived-in.
Handcrafted
Once the wood is ready, each piece is built by hand in our workshop. From the first cut to the final coat, every joint, edge, and surface is carefully shaped to highlight the wood’s natural beauty. No two pieces are ever exactly alike. Every creation reflects our commitment to craftsmanship and is built to become a cherished heirloom for generations to come.
Finished Naturally
Our premium finish is made from renewable materials like soybean, sunflower, and thistle oil, combined with carnauba and candelilla wax. Made in Germany to strict European standards, it’s durable, water-repellent, and safe for humans, animals, and plants. Resistant to stains and easy to refresh without sanding, the finish enhances the wood’s depth and warmth while protecting it for everyday life.
Handcrafted dog furniture made with solid wood, thoughtful design, and quality materials. Each piece is built to blend beautifully into your home while giving your dog a comfortable space of their own.
Where Function Meets Home Design
Inspired by Our Love For Pets
Mark Karens began with a simple belief: our dogs deserve more than just a place to rest — they deserve comfort, beauty, and belonging. Inspired by the love we share with our own pets, we set out to design furniture that honors their place in our homes and in our hearts.
For too long, pet furniture has been practical but rarely beautiful. We believed it could be different. With timeless design, natural tones, and thoughtful craftsmanship, every Mark Karens piece is created to blend seamlessly into your home while giving your dog the comfort they truly deserve.
As a proud Canadian company, we are guided by values of quality, care, and integrity. Each design reflects our passion for creating something meaningful — not just furniture, but a daily reminder of the love, loyalty, and joy our dogs bring us.
Because at the heart of Mark Karens is one truth we hold close: they’re not just pets — they’re family.
