Are Pets Making Your Home Feel Unclean?
2

• Many American homes feel incomplete without the
  addition of pets, and while dogs are perhaps one
  of our most popular pets, they are also perhaps
  the smelliest and dirtiest! What with hair
  shedding, pooping, muddy paw prints and scraps of
  food, dogs can quickly make a home feel unclean,
  no matter how hard you try to keep it clean.
• However, there are a few things that you can do
  to keep your home as clean and hygienic as
  possible when you share it with dogs, and
  provided you dont get lazy, your home can still
  feel clean

• Have a separate place for your pooches things
• Ensure that your dogs bowls are kept separate
  from your own crockery and if possible, wash them
  in a separate sink area to avoid contamination.
  Any leashes, toys, bedding and other items should
  also be stored away from your own things, and
  washed as and when required to prevent germs and
  bacteria from making their home on them.

• Try to avoid your dog licking your face or
  sleeping on your bed
• We know that dogs mouths can play host to all
  manner of germs and bacteria, so not allowing
  them to lick your face especially your mouth
  is simple common sense. The same applies to
  allowing your dog to sleep on your bed theyll
  shed hair, bacteria and possibly even fleas while
  lying on it, and so when you come to get into
  bed, itll look and feel, anything but clean.

• Wash your hands frequently
• Regular hand washing preferably with an
  anti-bacterial soap is one of the best ways of
  preventing germs and bacteria from spreading,
  whether you have a pet dog or not. But washing
  your hands after prolonged contact with your pet
  or after handling any of their items, will
  certainly limit the risk. If you have been
  picking up your pets poop, then wash your hands
  immediately, even if you were wearing a glove or
  had a bag over your hand.

• Groom your doggy regularly
• Grooming your dog often will prevent a lot of
  unwanted hair and dead skin from ending up on
  your floors, carpets and upholstery. If your dog
  is prone to shedding, then daily grooming may be
  necessary, and as pets usually enjoy the process,
  it shouldnt be too difficult to work this into
  your daily routine.

• Bathe your dog regularly
• Although not all dogs enjoy being bathed, it may
  be necessary to inflict it upon them at least
  once a month, or whenever your dog is beginning
  to look grubby or smell stinky! When you do this,
  try to wash their bedding at the same time, so
  that your fresh and clean pooch can stay fresh
  and clean for as long as possible.
• These tips, if followed, should help you and your
  pets live in hygienic harmony together, and will
  prevent neighbors from declining to visit due to
  the waft of dirty dog in the air!
