Whether you're a new pet owner or a seasoned pro, here are some tips and tricks for creating a comfortable and safe environment for your pets at Bowman Pointe.

Making Your Apartment Pet-Friendly

Choose Pet-Friendly Furniture:

• Invest in durable, easy-to-clean furniture that can withstand the wear and tear of pet ownership. Look for materials like leather or microfiber, which are resistant to stains and scratches.
• Consider furniture with hidden storage to keep pet toys, leashes, and other supplies organized and out of sight.

Designate a Pet Zone:

• Create a specific area in your apartment for your pet's essentials, such as their bed, food and water bowls, and toys. This helps keep your living space tidy and ensures your pet has a designated spot to relax.
• Use pet gates or playpens to establish boundaries within your apartment, especially if you're still training your pet.

Pet-Proof Your Home:

• Keep harmful items like cleaning supplies, medications, and certain houseplants out of reach. Secure trash cans and cabinets to prevent curious pets from getting into them.
• Hide electrical cords and secure window blinds or curtains to prevent pets from chewing on them.

Training Tips for Apartment Living

Establish a Routine:

• Consistency is key when it comes to training your pet. Establish a daily routine for feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise to help your pet feel secure and well-behaved.
• Use positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats and praise, to reward good behavior and discourage unwanted actions.

Crate Training:

• Crate training can be a valuable tool for pet owners, especially in an apartment setting. It provides your pet with a safe, comfortable space to retreat to and can help with housebreaking and reducing separation anxiety.

Exercise and Mental Stimulation:

• Ensure your pet gets plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behavior. Regular walks, playtime, and interactive toys can help keep your pet happy and healthy.
