Pet stores have a variety of wonderful beds. Larger
more expensive items like attractively built wood dog
crates that look like end tables or wicker boxes might
be found online. Choose one or several comfortable
cloth beds that will co-ordinate well with your décor.
Place them in rooms where your family spends the
most time so your pets are happy to be wherever you
are.
Pet beds are best placed in a safe spot – out of a heavily
trafficked area and preferably in a corner or with
the wall behind them so they have a good view of the
room. It is important to discourage pets from jumping
onto the sofa and sleeping on your beds. It sets up
a precedent that creates a domination scenario with
your pet. That’s vital to avoid if you want to maintain
healthy relationships with family members.
For your cats, you could also plan to make or purchase
units that house litter boxes and can be placed
in more public areas like your bathroom if you don’t
have a large enough laundry room. Unique furniture
designs housing litter boxes might be more expensive,
but the trade-off is that your home stays neat, clean
and organized. Eco-friendly litter is also a must. Find
a practical spot for your cat tower so it’s not in the way
Remember to use natural cleaners around the dog’s
bed, the litter box. When the weather is warm, you can
periodically shake out the bed and let it breathe outdoors
for a couple of hours while your house is being
cleaned. If you need removable sofa covers, these can
easily be washed and replaced so your furniture smells
fresh, stays clean and ensures longer furniture life. For
new puppies, a sour apple solution sprayed onto furniture
legs will stop them from chewing. Always have
their toys neatly stored away in their own special toy
box. When you are out, a good way to soothe and calm
pets is to have light and relaxing music playing. This
way, you do not have to fret coming home to a possible
disaster.
It pays to be pet smart. You get to enjoy the unconditional
love of your pets that depend upon you for
nurturing, security and attention. Finding the right
balance so your house does not fall into disarray and
stays in the flow of harmony and good energy takes
time, consideration and careful attention.
