To protect pets, choose non-toxic and safe products. Considerations for various housing areas:
Use pet-safe indoor plants to green up your home. Pet-friendly plants include spider plants, Boston ferns, and bamboo palms. Before adding plants to your home, check their toxicity.
Choose non-toxic pet-safe cleaning products. Try natural or pet-friendly cleaning products or make your own using vinegar, baking soda, and gentle soaps.
Pet-friendly flooring should be scratch-resistant and easy to maintain. Good options are hardwood, laminate, tile, and vinyl. Carpets that retain allergens and are hard to clean should be avoided.
Choose furniture that's easy to clean and does not trap pet hair. Silk is less pet-friendly than leather, microfibre, and synthetic fibers.
Select safe, sturdy toys. Choose non-toxic products without little pieces that can choke. Good materials include natural rubber, nylon, and strong plastics.
Pet-toxic houseplants should be avoided. Common examples are lilies, philodendron, and pothos. Know your plants or keep them away from pets.
If you're unsure about a product's safety for your dogs, visit your vet. Check for indicators of disease or discomfort in your dogs and seek veterinary assistance. Keeping pets healthy requires smart choices when creating a pet-friendly home.
