But have you ever thought what keeps them so free spirited?
Or let me put it this way, say you've got a dog, and have you ever wondered what if they could speak? Wouldn't they tell you things they like at your place or what are places and corners they absolutely hate!
Well there's no way to know that unless you use a little bit of intuition and some guidance to set up your home , the way they want it. Some effort on your part can also make their day brighter like yours.
Well, you've come to the right place for some out box pet friendly ideas that your pet will absolutely enjoy.
Measures to take around the house to ensure safety for pets
Please make sure that you don't leave any live wires exposed. Remember pets are playful. You can save them from shocks if you are careful with the wiring and take all the safety measures with switches and connections. Also do not leave sharp objects around as they may not know how to handle it and end up getting hurt. Store the sharp tools and kitchen knives on the high shelves which are difficult for them to reach .
If you have a cat for a pet, they can possibly hop on cupboards and racks. In that case always make sure to keep the cupboard doors tightly shut or locked . The toilet seat should always be covered in case you don't want it to be littered. The glassware's and fragile showpieces should be placed out of their reach. You don't want your pet to end up in a pool of water, scattered petals and a broken vase.
Carpets and rugs are not a healthy option for pets unless you clean them regularly. This is because the fabric of the carpets are prone to be the breeding grounds for bacteria and various other microorganisms. These microbes may tend to stick to their furs and cause infection. Various other pests like leeches or lice may start to harm your pet. Although pets thoroughly enjoy the comforts of rolling on the warm rug, you need to remove them if you do not have the time to spare on cleaning everyday. Go for hardwood options or mosaic floors to avoid the inconvenience. But you have to make sure to keep your house dust free.
Pets can get allergic in such an environment. You need to maintain hygiene around if you want your grizzly inhabitants to stay healthy. Also it is best to avoid light colour couches or cushion covers if your pet has a tendency to climb on the sofa and bed. Their dirty paws may leave marks otherwise. It's likely that they will soil your bed or the floor some time or the other. Proper training can help you avoid this situation but it's still possible once in a while. So make sure you have proper sanitary floor cleaning agents, detergents to wash up the bedding or the floor. Some scented room fresheners and body spray for the pets should always be kept handy.
Ways in which you can build a playhouse for your furry partner to goof around-
You need to keep in mind, as mentioned already, that surroundings play a key role in setting the mood of an individual. Be it an animal or a human. So you can go for elaborate wall designs or polka dots to decorate their rooms or kennels. You can also consider the idea of carpets if you are concerned about your pets comfort, but just remember to have them washed periodically.
Bright colours are often preferred by these excitement dwellers. So you can contrast between the walls and the curtains or introduce some assorted coloured cushions on the couch. Ones that come in shapes and figures are really entertaining for the playful pets.
The room should feel fresh and tidy at all times. The reason is, the pets might feel dull and subdued in a messed up home. Another prime point to note down is that you are expected to keep the atmosphere of the house optimal. Too much of moisty, damp homes are not good for the pets' health. They may fall sick in the unhygienic house if not properly taken care of.
The ambience of your home should come across as pet friendly. You should be jolly and affable around them always. Your approach or presence should not threaten them. Do not scare them off with inappropriate gestures like hitting them or causing them pain. If you want them to feel happy you need to set them free within the boundaries of your home.
