When buying a new home or planning to renovate, dog owners might want to give some thought to their dogs. Consider their convenience and things that will make them feel safe, in the same way that you would kid-proof your home. Here’s a list of things you can do to help you renovate your home while considering your pet’s welfare:
- A hideaway feeding area is highly recommended since this would allow you to hide the bowls after every meal under a sink cabinet or drawer.
- Apartments with small spaces sometimes struggle to make space for your doggies’ potty needs. A synthetic turf potty can be an easy way to deal with their bathroom needs. A potty patch is straightforward to clean and replace.
- Your dogs deserve to have a place especially made for them. A good recommendation is to hire a contractor to construct an under-the-stairs home for your dogs where they can feel cozy and sleep comfortably inside the house.
- The most common renovation a dog owner can do is to install a doggy door. There are traditional doors with a magnetic lock made from plastic, but there are other types of weather-resistant smart doors that will keep your dogs safe.
Doing these things will help you upgrade to a dog-friendly home, and it could also help you quickly sell your property to homebuyers with dogs.
