Ep 1. Dog Town, USA

In Animal Cribs season 2 episode 1, entitled "Dog Town, USA," viewers are taken on a journey to a town that's all about dogs. The episode features hosts Antonio Ballatore and his team of talented designers as they work to transform a classic American home into a dream doghouse for an adored fur baby named Suki.

The show kicks off with Antonio pulling up to a small town that is home to various dogs. The town is bustling with activities and events that are all about dogs, which is why it's known as "Dog Town, USA". Antonio is excited to be in such a dog-loving community and can't wait to meet the furred inhabitants.

Antonio then meets Suki, a beautiful white and black Great Dane who is quite the diva. She loves the finer things in life and is used to being pampered. Suki's owners, Meg and Ian, are building a new home, so the team has been tasked with renovating their old home into a luxury doghouse for Suki. The couple wants Suki to have a space of her own where she can lounge, play, and relax in style.

The team begins by surveying the space and taking measurements. Antonio brainstorms with the team and comes up with a plan for Suki's dream doghouse. The designers take cues from Suki's attitude and personality to create a space that's chic, sophisticated, and comfortable.

The first step is to enlarge the front porch to give Suki plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. They install a custom-made wrought-iron gate that's perfect for Suki's size. Inside, the team gets to work on the living and dining areas. They create a sectioned-off nook for Suki's food and water bowl, complete with a stylish custom-built dog feeder. The ceiling is painted with a beautiful mural of white fluffy clouds, which adds a cozy feel to the room.

Next, the team moves onto the playroom, where they install custom-built agility equipment that's perfect for Suki's size and breeds structure. The team also installs a high-end water feature that doubles as a cool-down station for Suki on hot days. A bright blue rug and pops of red and yellow throughout the room add a touch of fun and whimsy.

The pièce de résistance of Suki's dream doghouse is her custom bedroom. The team installs a plush and cozy bed that's fit for royalty. The walls of the bedroom are painted with a gray damask pattern, and a gorgeous crystal chandelier illuminates the space. Antonio and his team surprises Meg and Ian with a beautiful custom painting of Suki, which is displayed prominently in her new bedroom.

Throughout the episode, Antonio emphasizes the importance of creating a space that's not only functional but aesthetically pleasing. He believes that just like humans, dogs thrives in environments that are comfortable and enhance their overall sense of wellbeing.

In the end, Meg and Ian are blown away by the transformation of their old home into Suki's dream doghouse. They appreciate the uniqueness and creativity that Antonio and his team brought to their home, and they're excited to see how Suki will react to her new space.

Overall, Animal Cribs season 2 episode 1 is a fun and heartwarming episode that highlights the special bond between humans and their pets. The episode showcases the incredible transformation of a space that's perfect for both dogs and humans alike.
