Life with pets is a wonderful experience. They bring light and love to a home and make it a friendly place with their presence. Pet owners love them like their own children. I know I do. However, sometimes this makes it easy to forget that they’re not able to handle the same things people can.

Animals aren’t aware of the hazards in the home like most people are. This increases the chance that they’ll get into trouble with the simplest things. It’s enough to make an owner tear their hair out in frustration! Pet owners have to pet-proof their homes in much the same way they would if they had young children. Just think of them as furry babies.

Most pets are “mouthy”  just like young kids are. This is because pets use their mouths as another way of touching objects. Just think of it as an extra hand. And if they like what they find, they chew or eat it even though it may not be a food item.

Pets often wind up in the emergency vet’s office for a blockage removal. This is why it’s important for pet owners to make sure the home is free from things like string, rubber bands, and yarn. Cords need to be tied up and put out of the way. Or you can spray them with substances that deter animals. Sometimes it feels like it’s a constant battle to keep pets out of harm’s way, but it is totally worth it.

4 Steps for a Healthier Pet-Friendly Home

Read the infographic below to learn more about what items are hazardous to pets and how to make your home safe for them:

Pet Friendly Home

 

Another great way to keep your home pet-friendly is to make sure that the kitty litter and cat food are out of your dog’s reach. Dogs love getting themselves into the litter box but it can be seriously harmful to their health!

On top of that, no one likes coming home to a house full of your cat’s treasures and litter rocks on the floor.

If you have a pet who likes to get its paws in places they shouldn’t, you may want to look at trying out The Door Buddy. Door Buddy is an adjustable door strap that allows your door to open wide enough for your cat to easily enter and exit the room while keeping it narrow enough to keep your dog or little ones out.

These door straps are available on Amazon with the option to purchase the single door latch or the combo product. When purchasing the Door Buddy combo, the door latch comes with door pinch guards to keep any fingers or tails harm-free from slammed doors.

Door Buddy is an affordable way to keep your pets safe while making your parenting duties hassle-free!
