Three Ways to Make Your House Pet Friendly

As a dog lover, I give my dogs the right to enter every area of my house. I also ensure that my house is truly a pet-friendly zone because I want them to enjoy the space we offer. However, some homes are not pet-friendly even though animals live there. With that, here are some things that can be done to perfectly set a home for your furry friends.

A Space of Their Own

Most dogs are clingy and love to be nuzzled against us most of the time. So, in rare instances, they do what they want to do to be alone in their own spaces. Our home has two areas that are intended just for them. There is one in the living room and one in the dining room. These areas either have a dog pillow, dog blanket, and of course, a dog bed in a corner where they can lie down and relax.

Wet and Slippery Floors 

Some people will not change their floor covering for a pet, but wet and slippery floors are the common cause of accidents in most pets. I own a 5-year-old golden retriever who has had ACL knee surgery, so I must change the covering of the floor because he can re-injure herself. This should be done to prevent her from slipping on our hardwood floors; I got non-slip rugs (an easy fix) to put down for him to walk on, which will make your home safer for your dog.

Remove Temptations

This wouldn’t be an issue for older dogs, but for a puppy, it is imperative. Puppies don’t understand why certain things aren’t good for play. And this is one way that causes dangerous consequences if you don’t know how to manage the problem. It is essential to keep them away from electrical socks and cords and small home decorations that can be broken or chewed. Keeping them away from all these enticements will protect your dog from much aggravation.
