We understand the addiction and the love people have for pets. Everyone has that personal favorite when it comes to pets and the sense of belonging which brings to them is always so soothing.

Happiness is the other name for soothing, but does that apply for your home as well? Is your house happy with your pet too?

It is time we change your answer to yes if you have answered a NO. We have the best tips for you, carefully crafted with precision and testing, which are extremely pet-friendly.

1. Keep your pets clean

It is always best for your cleaning interests to groom your dog regularly. If you clean your dog after the walk and groom it, your house will be spared from all the dirt and dust it would carry in.

Though using the dog shampoo regularly is not healthy, yet you need to maintain the shampoo routine as well. Just a wash with clean water daily is the best option here and, keep your dog in one enclosed area after the grooming session, in order to avoid wet home, and clean it dry.

Also, keep track of trimming and de-spreading of the dog as per the breed you have and use a professional trimmer to do so.

2. Upgrade your sofa

Check on your sofa’s material as any material which acts as a hair magnet needs to be gotten rid of. Bad quality sofas also hold up a lot of bad odors and reveal the slightest of the encountered stains. You might want to consider leather or tightly woven materials.

3. Buy a quality vacuum cleaner

You should invest in a pet vacuum cleaner for cleaning pet hairs. As per the kind of floor you have, you will have to choose the best vacuums for pet hair. You will have to select from a handheld, canister, upright, stick, autonomous/robot, after careful evaluation of all the circumstances.

Here is a heads up on what you must look out for while having a pet in your home – you need extra strong suction, quality filler, and a brush action, which would pull the hairs out rather than gliding it over the surface of whatsoever. You also need to clean up after the vacuum cleaner in order to keep the odor from spreading to other areas you vacuum.

4. Set up a dog cleaning station

Cleaning your dog in a cleaning station is a lot better. You can alternatively use your laundry room to build a dog’s cleaning station or any other place which has access to dog towels, wipes spray bottles and a couple of treats. Also, keep a doormat handy.

5. Clean your pet’s things regularly

All the belongings of your dog are to be cleaned regularly to avoid the unpleasantries. They include you pet’s bed, toys and everything used by your pet. Clean them all using a machine or you may hand wash them separately.

6. Double check your cupboards for items to fight bad odor

You can actually get some basic household items to get rid of the odor. This would also save a few more bucks on your expenses side. A light spritzing of vodka removes odor, baking soda is great too, clean the rugs and carpets or use vinegar while washing toys and beds to avoid bad odor.

7. Be quick to act and clean up

Accidents are meant to happen with your pets and they demand quick actions and quick clean-ups. So, make sure you clean it just when the accident arises.

8. Buy a sensible dog bed

We understand your love and concern for your dog and that you wish to get the best bed the market claims to have. But we recommend you to buy a bit more sensible one as the shiny beds with Accessories For Pet Owners are quite difficult to clean up. Choose easy to wipe and waterproof bed and lay on the bed in the sunshine once in a while.
