We’ve all read articles on ‘how to prepare your family for a new pet,’  but what about preparing your <\/span>home<\/em> for your new pet? If left to their own devices, animals can destroy your space, your furniture, and your floors.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a few tips to help you manage the welcome of your new furry friend.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Immediately buy a pet brush. Whether you have a dog or cat, its brush will be your new best friend (next to your pet, of course.) I would recommend brushing indoor cats twice a day, and dogs once a day. Believe me, your furniture will thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Keep all of your clothes out of his\/ her sight. If there is a big pile of clothes on the floor or bed, your pet will probably find a way to either lay all over it, or have an accident on top of it.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Consider draping a sheet over furniture that your pet attaches to. Rather than busting them of the habit, just cover with a cute throw or slip cover that you don’t mind them getting dirty. Also be sure to check out this great company called Sure Fit Pets<\/a>. This company creates stylish slip covers that are easily washable and very pet-friendly.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Consider getting rid of the carpets. If you want easy clean up and have been thinking about changing up your home, adding wood flooring<\/a> or tile flooring<\/a> would be an excellent idea when introducing a new pet.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Keep a carpet cleaning company on stand-by. Remember, Kiwi Services is just a phone call away with three stages of pet stain and odor removal. <\/a><\/p>\n

Love your little creatures, but don’t let them run the house!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
