Pets can be a heart-warming addition to a home. However they can also be a nightmare for furniture of any kind. Today we will be talking about some choices you can make to keep your outdoor furniture safe. These choices also help keep your pets comfortable.
Have a patio? Choose the right wood
Cherry and dark walnut blends of hardwood furniture of any type should be avoided. These scratch and can even stain. We all know how prone to stains pets are. Bamboo is also bad for pets because they can easily scratch themselves on it. This applies equally to seating and tables.
Pick a durable sofa
Make sure to buy cushions and material which are resistant to odors and scratches. Many pets love to get up and lie on the furniture or even claw it. Memory foam cushions are a great choice as they are extremely comfortable and clean easily.
Avoid things that shatter
Animals rarely know better than to knock things off. For that matter, some humans are just as bad at it. Try to avoid expensive statues or vases outside if you have pets.
Specific pet furniture
A well-made and well painted dog house can be a nice addition to an outside area. Cat lovers can add a scratching post to keep your pets busy. These days they all come in designer styles.We hope that these tips make your outdoor area safer and more comfortable for your pets. Share your own ideas with us as well.
