By
Real Estate Agent with Bogun Realty and Luxury Homes BRE# 01479541

Majority of Woodland Hills, CA homeowners own a pet and in these household pets are family members too.  For these Woodland Hills households, a remodeling home project must factor in the needs of their furry family members.  Below is a list of pet friendly designs:

1. Avoid wall-to-wall carpet to prevent odors, trapped hair, stains;
2. Chose ceramic tile, polished stone or other surfaces that are easier to clean;
3. Install a feeding drawer in your kitchen cabinets that pulls out during meal time and closes when guests visit;
4. Keep litter box in separate storage area or inside a cabinet with access for your pet to keep smell and mess in confined area;
5. Choose stain resistance and washable fabrics to match your pet's fur color for sofas and beds.

Great advice... I live in a townhome right now but once I buy a house I am getting hard wood floors, not only do I love hard wood better than carpet (less allergins) and it easier to maintain, and easier to clean up after my puppy after he has mutilated his squeeky toy.

Bandele, great post and my favorite by far is #5 - how many times do you notice the light color fur on all dark furniture?  That is a good one.  Thanks for sharing.

Hi Bandele - Those are great suggestions for people with pets.  When I had to put carpeting in downstairs, I specifically chose a color that would blend in with my dog's fur.  I will put these suggestions on the list for my buyers!

Bandele, thanks for your sweet words... I am into photography so it helps, but short on writing skills, so I am trying to concentrate on Localism blogs.  I appreciate your encouraging comments and I am glad I found you on AR.

Thos are fantastic ideas, Bandele.  I especially like the avoiding of wall-to-wall carpet where the pets will be.  Pet odors are harder than just about anything else to get out.

These are great tips. I know we pulled out carpet and put in tile to accomodate our German Shepherd, and have never regretted it.
