Samsung is known as the world’s top-notch smartphone-maker, but the tech giant is embarking into a new area -- hi-tech, luxury dog kennels, to be exact.

The company unveiled the Dream Doghouse, which costs $30,600. The kennel will not go on sale, but will be offered as a prize in a competition via Samsung’s social media channels.

The Dream Doghouse comes with two indoor living areas, a “doggy” treadmill, a spa and a dog snack dispenser.

“The Samsung Dream Doghouse looks sleek and modern, featuring the kind of tech the discerning dog of the future will need,” said Andy Griffiths, president of Samsung Electronics U.K. and Ireland.
