3 Tips for Cat and Dog Owners

The first thing to consider is the flooring in your home. Both dogs and cats love to run around the house, which means the floors should not be slippery.

Otherwise, joint injuries cannot be avoided.

Brick, concrete, rough-surfaced tiles, or hardwoods are best. Softwoods and smooth marble should be avoided.

The second point is furniture and fabrics. As soon as you turn away, your cat will happily sharpen its claws on a soft sofa or walls with expensive wallpaper.

Therefore, the best option would be tapestry, ultra-suede and synthetics. They are not only resistant to vandalism, but also do not attract wool, which cannot be said about natural leather and suede.

And don't forget that you now have one more family member in your home and they need their own corner. Buy a special bed for your cat or dog and set aside a separate place for it where your pet will feel safe.
