Important Questions to Ask When House Hunting with Pets!
/Not all homes and neighborhoods are pet friendly. Here are four important questions you need to ask when you’re house hunting with your four legged best friends in mind!
What are the local pet laws? Pet laws can vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. Are there breed restrictions? Size restrictions? How many pets are allowed per home? Who issues dog licenses?
How close is emergency vet care? Better safe than sorry. Be proactive and know where the closet emergency vet care is! How far from your current vets office are you, too?
Does the house have pet friendly flooring? As much as we love our four legged friends- we know the messes they can make. Are those floors going to hold up to dirty paws and claws? How easy will cleaning and upkeep be? Hardwood floors can be a life saver.
Can you pet handle the stairs? Our pets age faster than we do. Is a 4th floor walk up and option for an aging dog?
Is the neighborhood safe for your pets to roam? Be aware of the local community. Is there parks near by for your pet to roam? Hiking trails? Dog friendly entertainment and community functions?
Any other concerns I should have addressed? As you know, I’m a huge animal lover. And I love my gentle giant breeds. Let’s find you and your pet the perfect home and neighborhood!
