Your Woodbridge Real Estate and your best friend(s)-

Some love their pets like family and, if you're one of them, you'll be understandably concerned when choosing your Woodbridge Real Estate. I personally own 5 cats and used to have a dog as well so I can relate...There are definite ways to make sure you get the best Woodbridge home for your best friend(s); here are few tips:

1.  The features of the Woodbridge home are particularly important.  Before you go shopping for a pet friendly house, make a list of things your pet likes.  Also make a list of things your pet might destroy.  For instance, many cat owners find their pets ripping up the carpet.  A Woodbridge piece of real estate with wood floors might be ideal.  If you have a dog, it's probably important to have a fenced yard.  Many things are easy to overlook, but you'll be sure to consider them if you make a list first.

2.  The Woodbridge home's layout might be hard on your pet.  If you have an older one who has a hard time climbing stairs, a Woodbridge home for sale with one story would be better than a two-story home.  Low windows or window ledges are perfect for cats, as well as an out of sight place to store a litter box.  In addition, remember your pet's size.  The larger, the more yard or bigger space you might need.

3.  The Owner Association (OA) may not allow pets, and those that do allow them usually have some restrictions.  Before deciding on a Woodbridge real estate (Condos/Townhouse), make sure that the OA allows your particular pet.  Don't take it for granted!  You may end up with severe penalties and a hard choice to make.

4.  A pet friendly neighborhood is the best place for you and your best friend.  Look around the neighborhood and see if the neighbors are walking their dogs or have cats sleeping in windows.  Consider if the way they seem to take care of their animals is similar to yours.  If it isn't, you might want to find another Woodbridge home for sale.

If you are an animal lover like me, then surely you understand this blog...If you're looking for a home that's perfect for you and your pet, I can help.  Contact me today...

These are great suggestions that some people may not think about when looking at potential homes for themselves and their four-legged family members.
