Did you know that man’s best friend can actually become your worst nightmare ?
That’s right . He’s cuddly, cute and you love him, but sometimes he has a problem with” accidents ” and pretty soon , you start to notice the …
ummm…. odiferous situation .
Besides the obvious occasional accident from Fido, his hair can als0 be an issue. Once he shakes a bit off, it goes into the carpet and furniture and sticks to it all and it can be quit a problem.
Then you have the issue of “I want in. I want out. I want in ” You know it…. Fido is always on the move and the constant going outside and then back inside brings in all kinds of dirt .
What can you do about all this ?
1. Clean messes up quickly. Once you discover an ” accident ” , it’s important to grab a few paper towels and blot up the mess before it sinks down into the padding of the carpet . A good enzyme deodorizer like you might get from the vet helps with lingering odors, but of course it’s best to have a professional carpet cleaner come over to handle the problem .
2. A hairy situation can be tamed by brushing your dog often. Loose hair that’s about to go into the carpet and furniture can be easily pulled from Fido with a good grooming brush. And guess what ? He probably likes the attention .
3. While you may not have the time to wipe off Fido’s muddy paws each time he wants back inside, it is a good idea to place mats inside and outside the door. When Fido want’s back inside, let him beg a little bit on the outside mat because some off the dirt is definitely going to come off.
Do all of this and man’s best friend is going to be a dream to live with, not a nightmare .
