Pet friendly

To many of us, the love and companionship of our beloved pets truly make our house a home. It is important when shopping for a new home or condo that you carefully view the home making sure it is pet friendly.

The following are suggestions to keep in mind when you are searching for a pet friendly home.

Pet friendly homes for sale

• Consider homes that offer stain-resistant ceramic tile, Pergo, linoleum or hardwood.
• Does the home have an area to clean your pet prior to entering the main body of the house? A garage or mud type room might be perfect to clean up the pet in your family prior to it tracking in the remnants of the outside.
• Check garages, crawl spaces, basements and utility sheds for exposed wiring that your pet may find to chew on.
• Identify poisonous plants in yards and gardens that will need to be removed.
• Take a look up, does the home have safe balconies? Can your pet slip through during play?
• Keep your pets enjoyment in mind, are the windows easily accessible so your pet can lounge for hours on the window sill daydreaming?
• Are there parks and walking trails nearby for the all important exercise of both you and your pet?
• Check the fencing for gaps, holes or breaks where your pet might try and escape.
• Pool home? Consider a child gate for protection.
• Does the potential new home's yard have an area of shade and room to roam?
