It is quite challenging to live with a dog at an apartment. Pets may litter the stairways or destroy paint and other things. Here are some great dog-friendly ideas for your apartment to make it easier.

Get a Puppy Garden Built:

One of the biggest problems with pets is that they litter grass and pavement, especially when you live in an upscale apartment. Puppies’ digestive systems processes food faster than adult dogs, therefore, they lose their bowels shortly after eating or drinking. Creating a puppy garden can be a solution. You can use your apartment balcony for this purpose.

It not only supports daily walks and active play but also takes the mess out of the house. Just give it a hose clean!

Let’s see how you can make it:

Have a patch of artificial grass (available at home improvement stores) on the floor.
Add fake plants and doghouse for its curb appeal.
Fence the garden using strips of pressure treated lumber. Afterwards, give it a couple of paint coats.

What about Dog-Friendly Furniture?

Make sure your dog has somewhere comfortable to relax. Pick a dog bed carefully. Choose the one equipped with a machine washable cover made of durable waterproof fabric with a weather resistant bed’s insert.

Keep Breakable Knickknacks out of Dog’s Reach:


Breakable knickknacks should be kept at the distance from dogs. One strike of a dog’s tail can disfigure your valuable collection. You can keep fragile valuables in a china cabinet with glass panel doors. It not only makes them visible but also provides protection from dogs. Also, hang your artwork on the walls. The new collection should be of a sturdy material or covered with frames.

Give them Tidy, Attractive Toys:

Be careful while choosing toys for your dog. Rubber toys may be a good idea to prevent them going after a chair leg. Make sure the chewable toys are free from nitrate coating and don’t stain your floors.
