8 PET-FRIENDLY FEATURES TO ADD to YOUR KITCHEN REMODEL

Your best friend is your dog. Your cat is your best friend. If you are considering a kitchen remodel, wouldn't it be logical to consider your cat companions?

We've learned that kitchens with pets are more enjoyable when you consider how Fluffy and Fido will use them.

This might seem absurd at first. After all, your cat won't cook, and your dog won't make the dishes. These pet-friendly tips are practical and can simplify your kitchen.

These pet-friendly kitchen designs will make your space beautiful.

1: A built-in dog bed or crate

A beautiful, minimalist kitchen could be used to house a large dog crate or bed. You could also incorporate the dog crate/bed into the design to make it both more accessible and visually pleasing.

2: Hidden Foods and Water Dishes

You don't want your pet's food and water dishes taking up too much space in your kitchen. How many times have your pet's water bowl been accidentally knocked over? Ask your designer to design a place for your pet's food or water dishes when you are planning your Houston TX kitchen remodeler.

3: Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring makes it easy to maintain your kitchen's appearance. Laminate flooring is easy to clean and won't show any scratches. If your pet sheds, dark woods may show fur. Choose lighter wood instead.

4: Rugs and runners

You can place a rug or runner in an area where your cat or dog will be happy to curl up. It can keep your pet's eyes open, but not below their feet. It can protect floors and keep smaller animals from sliding on the floor (although laminate is a good option, it can be slippy for small paws).

You'll need something that is easy to wash or spot clean when you choose a rug or runners. Darker colors will also show fur better than lighter ones.

 

5: Pet-friendly Surfaces & Finishes

Although you may love the look and feel of high-gloss cabinets and waterfall countertops, think about how your pets might ruin them. You can save time and have your countertops honed or stained.

6: Pull-out trash cans

You can keep your pets safe by incorporating pull-out trash and recycling containers under your cabinets.

 

7: Kitchen Hardware

Avoid sharp corners and edges when choosing kitchen hardware. So that your pets don't get caught, choose knobs over pulls. Avoid polished finishes so they are easy to clean.

8: Safe Cleaning Products

You'll need to maintain your kitchen's appearance after it's been renovated. You should take the time to review your cleaning supplies, and only use pet-friendly products. This picture will remind your cat of the things you suspect she does while you are gone, even if you think you don't have to be concerned about cleaning your kitchen counters.

 

It's not about trends or styles, the best features for your kitchen are about how you use it and how you live. A pet-friendly kitchen can be a great option for many homeowners.
