Pampered Pups: Home Features Dogs (and Their Owners) Will Love

Jane Douglass June 2, 2017

Every dog owner wants their home to be a safe, entertaining, and happy place for their pet. But the space should also be a clean, well-organized dwelling for the human inhabitants.

Here are some handy ideas for boosting your home’s pet-friendly qualities.

Get it together

Keep all the necessities — toys, leashes, and treats — close at hand with this clever DIY customized catch-all.

Lookin’ good

Got a nosy pup? Install Pet Peek and he can keep an eye on the neighborhood from the comfort of his own yard.

Eat ’em up

A built-in elevate feeding station keeps food and water dishes from sliding around the floor - and looks tidy, too.

Squeaky clean

Trips to the groomer are a thing of the past when you have your own washing station at home. Built-in stairs let older dogs get to their bath safely and comfortably.

The ultimate in freedom

Plexidor’s automatic dog door only opens when it receives a signal from a transmitter on your pet’s collar - so Buddy can get in, but curious squirrels, raccoons and neighborhood cats can’t.

And while every dog has his day, some cats have it pretty good, too.
