Whether your only option is to keep your dog in an apartment, or if you have a house with a yard but want to stay home with your dog, read Useful Tips Every Dog Owner Should Know.
- Hair – If you have a pet in your home, be prepared for tons of hair on the floor! You can clean your floors with a robot vacuum cleaner that can handle pet hair. Be sure to check before you buy. You can also opt for a sweeper or a classic vacuum cleaner. Know that you will need to mop at least once a day to keep it clean. Beds, sofas, and other resting areas can also get hair. These areas can be vacuumed using a special attachment on your vacuum cleaner or if you have a washable cover, you can use this method. Lint rollers can also be used to quickly remove stains from upholstered furniture and clothing.
- Miscellaneous liquids – Whether it\’s droplets of urine or a picky eater who scoops up half the water bowl when leaving the bathroom, mopping is obviously a must. If it\’s just water, just get some wet wipes. But if it\’s urine, have cleaning products in the house to eliminate that particular odor.
- Furniture is broken/soiled – This can be a puppy or an old dog. Some dogs complain about their owners being gone. It is natural to be consistent with puppies to help them understand that this is something they are not supposed to do! To treat surfaces, you can purchase sprays that prevent chewing on furniture.
But above all, you will have a home full of joy and a wonderful welcome!
Do not underestimate the importance of preparing your apartment for your dog\’s arrival. Get the right resources and tools to ensure that your cohabitation is the best you can hope for and never once be cursed. Set boundaries that your dog understands and respects 100%. Even if your pet is your best friend, you are still the master and he is still the dog.
