Dog friendly House – 7 Indicators

Starting your home search for a property that must be approved by furry, tail-wagging family members? Here are some things to consider when you are looking for a dog friendly Home.

7 Indicators of a Dog friendly House

1. Greener grass
Does the home have a yard? Just a little bit of a fenced-in grass can be your pup’s paradise. You’ll definitely want to check that the HOA permits you to put in a fence tall enough to keep your dog in.

2. Proximity to play areas
Search for homes within walking distance to trails, open space and dog parks.

3. Your very own pack
Take a look at neighbors’ properties for proof of other dogs in the neighborhood, like dog toys in yards, dog doors and dog-related bumper stickers on cars.

4. Accommodating landlords
In some areas, finding condo communities that allow dogs can be tough. The local animal shelter usually keeps lists of dog friendly communities.

5. Storage for your dog
A designated space for keeping leashes, toys as well as other belongings is a blessing when it comes to keeping the rest of your home clean (or, cleaner).

6. Camouflage
Wall-to-wall white, plush carpet isn’t what you’re trying to find. Neither are gorgeous softwoods just waiting to be scratched. Try to look for homes with resilient flooring that’s easily cleaned.

7. Doggie door
Dog doors offer your pooch (and you) a fabulous taste of freedom. Check whether a home has a convenient place to put one.
