You can make a pet-friendly home environment by incorporating elements from a pet shop in Dubai that would make the home safe for the pet, ensure their safety and well-being and provide convenience and comfort. In this blog, we will discuss some of the best methods to make your home pet-friendly, check them out.
- Making the home safe for the pet
Your pet needs something more than a comfortable bed and healthy food to thrive. A pet-friendly home goes beyond just a comfy bed. The environment where they move about has to be safe and enriching. They have to feel that they are cherished members of the family too. This would help strengthen your bond with your pet and ensure their ultimate happiness!
Before you get your pet from the pet store Dubai, make sure to secure the electrical cords and keep them out of reach of your pets. They might chew the wires and electrocute themselves. If you have household chemicals, cleaning supplies, and medications, store them in cabinets that pets cannot access.
- Comfortable sleeping areas
Pets need routine and structure. You can create designated sleeping areas so they will feel safe and relaxed and have their own corner. Different kinds of pets like different things,so understand that and get what they will be comfortable with. Making sure the sleeping area is a calm spot away from the hustle and bustle is key. This means your pet can enjoy safe haven when they need a break. Remember, a happier pet means a happier you!
- Keep your pets hydrated and happy with necessary food & water
Your pets have to stay fueled and refreshed! Make sure to have easily accessible food and water stations around the house especially if your home is big or has multiple pets. Ensure they have fresh and clean water all the time.
Choose bowls that fit your pet’s size and height when it comes to getting their food bowls. It depends on the age of the pets too. For example, Elevated feeders (available from pet store Dubai) are perfect for larger dogs or older pets with joint pain. If you have more than one pet, make sure to have separate feeding areas to avoid competition and ensure everyone eats peacefully.
- Entertained pets are happy pets
Need mental and physical stimulation as well. They feel bored just as we do too. So get age-appropriate toys for your cats and dogs. You have a good list to go through – chew toys, puzzle toys, interactive toys and so on. You can create a safe indoor play area or fenced backyard so they have the perfect outlet for their energy.
- Clean homes and clean pets, of course, what else?
Regular cleaning is very important. You need to remove the fur and the funk, especially their bedding,toys, and feeding areas to remove all traces of dirt and bacteria. Remove pet hair and dander to prevent allergies and respiratory issues through regular vacuuming and sweeping.
Make sure your home doesn’t have any poisonous plants and substances. Certain houseplants like lilies or philodendrons can be toxic to pets, so make sure they dont both live in the same home. Grooming your pet is important as well. Regular brushing will keep the shedding and matting at bay. Bathe them regularly to ensure a clean and healthy coat. Never neglect to do nail trims, ear cleaning, and dental care – yes, pets need all those too. You can get accessories for all these from the pet shop in Dubai.
