One of the perks of living at The Townhomes at Highcrest is that we are a pet-friendly community. With that in mind, we would like to share some tips for apartment living for dogs and their owners in today’s blog post.
Tips for Pet Owners
Establish a routine. Animals are smart and can adapt to apartment living. Having a routine makes it easier on your pet. Set times for potty breaks, chow time, walking, and playing can all be included. Routines make your pet feel comfortable and help prevent accidents.
Be a considerate neighbor, and clean up promptly after your pet. Dispose of pet refuse appropriately.
Bring the outside indoors. If your pet is particularly fond of plants, give them their very own to play with. Cats are notorious for eating plants, and some plants are toxic. Check out this list of non-toxic plants, and definitely become familiar with this list of common houseplants that are toxic to pets.
Neighbors don’t appreciate constant barking, which is one thing dog owners often come up against. If you have a dog who tends to bark all the time, try these ideas from the Humane Society to solve the problem.
