Pets have mischievous tendencies. Sure, they may not mean<\/em> to scratch the couch, tug the drapes or pick the carpet apart, but let\u2019s face it, animals are well\u2026 animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a renter or long-term buyer, pet-based damages can deteriorate your home\u2019s value.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You needn\u2019t engage radical redesign methods to pet-proof your home, \nand a few easy solutions exist for those seeking happy, safe pet-free \nenvironments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet-Proof Tip #1: Use Your Vacuum Cleaner as a Gage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If your vacuum cleaner can\u2019t fit behind it, you should pet-proof it. Cats and small dogs love<\/em> crevices,\n nooks and crannies. Moreover, they love engaging areas you won\u2019t see. \nIf you can\u2019t vacuum it, the animals are probably playing in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider rearranging these gaps to completely close them off. Even if\n they\u2019re entirely safe for animals, they\u2019re still hidden from watchful \neyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet-Proof Tip #2: Opt for Dark Colors and Small Patterns<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Dark colors hide stains and dark hair. Similarly, small patterns tend\n to mask any ripped edges, abrasions or other damages. Where pattern \ncolors are considered, light colors assist with stain location, helping \nyour cleanup process after accidents or pet-based damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet-Proof Tip #3: Install Cupboard Clips<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Petco.com\u00a0has covered several pet-proof tips for dog owners, focusing on keeping dangerous foods and chemicals safe from prying paws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While safety, of course, should be prioritized, cleanliness is\u00a0also<\/em>\u00a0gained from pet-proofed cupboards and storage areas.\u00a0AVMA.org\u00a0depicts average American households contain approximately one dog and two cats, though even a single companion pet can mess up kitchen, living room and even bedroom areas if cupboard areas are accessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cupboard clips are cheap, and they\u2019re entirely safe for both humans \nand animals. Additionally, they protect household pets while maintaining\n cleanliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet-Proof Tip Four: Try Soft Paws<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sharp nails damage upholstery, but Soft Paws round your feline\u2019s claws while avoiding any unethical practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soft, and applied with pet-safe nail polish, soft paws are small \nenough to keep your furry friend comfy as they retract their nails. Pain\n and discomfort aren\u2019t existent, and neither are household damages. As \nthey wear down, simply replace them. They may feel awkward at first for \nyour cat, but they\u2019re relatively adaptable and easy to change out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet-Proof Tip Five: Coordinate Pet Colors<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t beat them, join them. If your animals tend to shed, try aligning rug and drape selections with their hair color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they shed, their hair will blend in with surrounding details. Too much time is spent avoiding hair that, eventually, will<\/em> fall.\n Coordinated households are dynamic households, and a living room \ncapable of hiding cat and dog hair is much more appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember: Your pet should always come first.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When pet-proofing your living area, remember to determine your \nanimals\u2019 safety at every turn. Though areas might be safe for you, they \nmay pose threats to small, furry friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
