We’re pet lovers here at Househappy, so we know that along with the friendship, nose boops, and sloppy kisses that dogs bring into our lives there’s also the fur, paw prints, and occasional messes. In celebration of National Dog Week, here are a few must-haves for your home from our Concierge staff and their four-legged friends.

1. Give your dog (and yourself) a mid-day treat

We get it. Being away from your furry friend for long periods of time is hard on you and your pet. Technology can make life easier when you can’t be playing fetch together! We love this dog camera with treat dispenser. Now you can practice sit with Fido from afar! 

2. Your nose knows

There are few things worse than walking into a home and being greeted by pet smells before the puppy kisses. Dog fur and dander tend to sink (and stink!) into upholstered surfaces, random corners, and in the cracks between hardwood floors. Regularly scheduled housecleaning sessions and an annual professional carpet cleaning will help your home continue to smell fresh!

3. Remember your purpose

Some days, perhaps many days, you daydream about staying home to laze about with your pup. We understand! It takes a lot of effort to provide the good treats and fancy chew toys that your four-legged friend loves. You work hard so that your dog can have a better life! Now you just need a mug to remind you of that when you’re having a ruff day and just want to go home to Fido.

4. Proper lawn maintenance prevents messy paws

If you’re dealing with a never ending cycle of muddy yard to dirty paws to messy house, it might be time to call in professional help. If your yard turns into a mud bath every time it rains, we can connect you to licensed professionals who can help solve this pawblem. Whether it’s clogged gutters that lead to puddles or a mud patch that needs to be tended to by a lawn care company, we’re happy to help so that you can get back playing with your pup!
