Pet Friendly Homes
One distinct attraction of most homes in the San Antonio property market is that those are pet friendly houses. Developers know that most homebuyers and homeowners are moving in with their beloved canines or felines. If you have pets, you may consider the following tips when finding and buying a home or renting one in San Antonio.
Inspect the home for overall pet safety
As you inspect the home when considering your pet, try to look at it at the perspective of your beloved animal. Take a look around and see which areas of the home could be a possible cause of concern. For one, look for any area where strangulation, choking, electrocution, and suffocation could be potential hazards to your pet.
There are some homes in San Antonio that have very tall and high windows, which could cause danger to your cat. Many veterinarians use the term ‘High-Rise Syndrome’ to refer to the usual accident encountered by cats living in high-rise and tall houses. If your home has a high location and tall windows, there should be screens installed to provide adequate protection to your feline pet.
Find a carved out space
Many homes in San Antonio have carved out small spaces particularly for pets. These little nooks have been made popular recently by online figures like https://twitter.com/bluebuffalo who have made a small but noticeable mark on this market. Puppies and kittens have the instinct of sneaking into small places in the house. Your home should have a hazard-free zone where you could put your pet’s cozy bed, eating station, and water source. The pet should have enough space to roam around and space so it could rest well especially at night and avoid whining or barking for attention.
Litter boxes for cats should be placed in a separate carved out space in the house. It should be far from designated feeding areas but should not be found too isolated by your feline. You may be surprised that many homes in the San Antonio property market have designs and features that facilitate this purpose better.
Find safer flowing and fabrics
