How To Pet-Proof Your Blinds

Don't obscure views - It's important to allow your animal the ability to see outside. Where you can, make sure they are able to do so without any obstruction or intrusion into their territory! This will reduce stress levels for both parties involved in regard to privacy issues at home.

Giving your pet the best of everything is not just to make them happy, it's also good for their mental health. Chew toys can be expensive but if you invest in one they'll love playing with them and give themselves some much-needed exercise while doing so!

Cords & Blind Safety is here to help you keep your pet safe. All of our blinds are made with the safety precautions necessary for kids, adults, and furry friends alike!

Tips to Pet-Proof your home

1. Keep the views clear: Animals thrive on being able to see outside, so make sure they have a view. Partially open blinds or adjustable options like vertical or venetian blinds are great choices!
2. Prevent destruction: Invest in chew toys and activity centers to keep your pet entertained and prevent them from damaging your home or blinds.
3. Safety first: Our blinds meet child-safety standards and also consider the safety of your furry friends. Consider our chainless weight option for vertical blinds to reduce the risk of your pet getting tangled.
4. Use essential oils: Disrupt your pet's interest in certain areas by using citrus or eucalyptus essential oils. Test a small area first to ensure it won't stain.
5. Avoid leaving dogs alone for too long: Dogs can become stressed if left alone for more than 4-5 hours. If possible, check in on them during your lunch break or have them stay with a relative.
6. Seek veterinary advice: Consult a vet if your pet displays negative behaviors, as stress can be a common cause. They can help identify the root of the problem.
7. Get pet/home insurance: As a responsible pet owner, protect your pet and your home from accidents with insurance. Don't let your bank balance suffer if your pet causes damage!
