Clean dog, clean home

We love our dogs, that is an indisputable fact, however, we don’t always love the messes they make. We can’t always blame a dog for making a mess either, they are just doing what comes naturally. Still, it is frustrating to come home to these messes. Thankfully there are some things you can do to keep the mess making to a minimum.

Set Boundaries

Many of us often call our dogs our children, and there is a reason for that. Just like children, dogs need to be given rules and boundaries in order to know what good and bad behavior is. Training your dog will help them to be more aware of their surroundings, which in turn will keep your home cleaner in the long run.

Clean and Brush Your Dog Regularly

Dogs get dirty. This is just a fact. Whether it’s rolling in a strange smell or getting sweaty or wet, they will end up dirty. Giving them a bath regularly will help keep them smelling fresh and will keep the dirt out of your home. Wiping down paws after being outside and regular brushing to take off extra fur is just another way to limit the mess.

Another way to keep your home clean is to get a pet vacuum. These vacuums pick up the most stubborn hairs and will keep your floors and furniture pristine.

Give a Designated Space

The main way to keep your home clean is to give your dog their own space. Dogs can be territorial, so giving them a space that’s theirs can help them to feel more comfortable in your home. This space gives them room to relax and play in, making it less likely for them to invade your spaces.

Getting The Right Bed

One way to give them the dedicated space they need is to give them a bed or crate. A proper bed or crate pad can make a world of difference when it comes to comfort. It can also make a world of difference when it comes to mess. Choosing a chew-proof crate pad or dog bed will keep from stuffing being strewn everywhere. On top of choosing something chew-proof, Gorilla dog beds and crate pads also have a machine washable cover, reducing dirt and grime that regular beds pick up. These beds will not only give your dog space in your home but will keep your house cleaner as well.
