If you own a dog then you know that having a dog-friendly house can be a little challenging at times. You may even think that you can have a beautiful yard or a dog who sometimes enjoys the outdoors, but not both. Parkland International Realty has good news for dog owners who wish to maintain their beautiful yards while still keeping their dogs happy and active. You can have the best of both worlds with a lovely pet-friendly yard by following these tips:
- Your first step should be to fence in the yard. A six-foot high privacy fence is best since some dogs can climb chain link fencing, and it needs to be tall enough that your dog cannot jump over it.
- Next, watch your dog’s route through the yard. You can lay stepping stones or pavers in these high traffic areas to prevent trampled grass or muddy paws on rainy days.
- Make sure that there is sufficient shelter for your dog inclement weather and that he or she has a shady spot on hot sunny days. Of course, they need plenty of water, so keep a bowl of fresh water under a tree or shady area at all times.
Provide plenty of toys so your dog stays entertained. A bored dog is more inclined to dig or cause mischief.- Finally, when you’re planning what flowers and shrubs to plant, keep safety in mind. Many plants, including daffodils, tomato plants and tulips, can be hazardous to your dog.
Dogs definitely add character to a home and bring joy to families. That is why setting up a yard so our four-legged friends feel more comfortable and at home is so important. Believe it or not, this shows prospective buyers or renters that you take good care of your personal belongings, which many times makes them assume the property has been taken care of just as well.
