If you’re like most people, your pets are members of your family. But when was the last time you planned a remodel project with your pet in mind? Here are a few ideas to help make your home more pet-friendly!

Feeding areas are a great way to keep pet food organized. Use the bottom shelf of an open cabinet for built-in food and water bowls. Tucking the bowls away and off the floor keeps the area cleaner and safer.

Bathing stations can work wonders for pet owners. Considering a bathtub remodel? Install a walk-in shower with a hand-held showerhead. Depending on the size of your pet, converting your laundry room sink into a bathing station is another option.

Catwalks are a perfect way to create a fun area for your felines that will also keep them active. Anchor shelves and planks along the perimeter of your room, staggering them at various heights around the walls so your cat can easily hop from one to the other.

Sleeping nooks are a clever way for your pet to have their own space. Create a nook under the stairs, or repurpose furniture such as an end table or nightstand to accommodate their favorite pillow.
