Setting Up a Pet Friendly Home

Bringing a pet into your home is an exciting experience. Your pet will quickly become part of the family and you’ll never be alone again. However, setting up a pet friendly home isn’t as simple as it sounds. From finding the right supplies to potty training, there’s a lot that needs to be done to ensure your furry friend is happy and healthy. Fear not — we’ve got all the info you need to create a pet friendly home without losing your sanity in the process.

Choosing the Right Supplies

The first step in creating a pet friendly home is choosing the right supplies. This means picking out items like food, toys, beds, and litter boxes — but it doesn’t end there! If you have an outdoor pet, you’ll also need items like harnesses and leashes for walks, collars to keep them safe if they wander off, and houses or cages if they stay outside overnight. For indoor pets, you may want to look into getting some scratch posts or climbing poles so they can climb around without damaging furniture or walls. Lastly, don’t forget plenty of treats – everyone loves rewards!

Potty Training

One of the most important parts of having a pet is teaching them how to use their bathroom properly — inside or outside. If you have an outdoor pet that does their business in the yard or garden, then this isn’t much of an issue for you (aside from cleaning up after them). But if your pet lives indoors with you then potty training can be tricky! It’s important to remember that potty training takes time and patience on both ends — so stick with it until your little buddy has mastered their business!

Creating Boundaries

Having boundaries is key when setting up a pet friendly home; this means knowing which areas are off-limits for your furry friend. This may include areas like bedrooms or bathrooms where animals aren’t allowed inside — no matter how much they beg! You should also set boundaries for what kind of behavior is acceptable (i.e., no jumping on furniture) as well as any rules about barking or clawing at guests who come over unannounced. With proper boundaries in place, everyone will be able to get along swimmingly — humans included!

Creating a pet friendly home can be challenging but totally worth it in the end when your beloved companion becomes part of your family unit. From selecting essential supplies to potty training and setting boundaries, there’s plenty that needs to be done before welcoming your pal into their new digs. With these tips (and lots of patience!), your furry friend will soon feel right at home in no time!
