If you are crazy about pets but believe that having one will consign you to a life of never ending clean-ups, here are some tips:
1.Use safety gates to prevent your dog from entering areas of the house where he is not allowed access ( and of course, fewer space covered, fewer mess ).
2. Give him his own chew toy so he doesn’t make one out of your furniture.
3. Let him drink from a water feeder ( as opposed to a water bowl) if he is fond of making puddles on the floor.
4. If your dog loves making stains on the carpet, blot as much urine on the surface, then spray white vinegar on it. Your dog will think twice before peeing in the same spot.
5. To remove dog smell inside the house, sprinkle baking soda on the carpet and vacuum away.
