#2 Keep fur off your furniture
Most people allow their pets to hop on their furniture, sit and lie there. This keeps them close to you. However, it also means having their fur all over the couch, which can be difficult to remove. How do you keep your furniture immaculate if you have a pet?

Thanks to our immense love for our fur babies, we humans have developed many options. A few choices are to use slipcovers, sheets, and blankets. You can also get the covers custom-made to match the rest of the décor in the home.

You can easily make it more palatable by adding in some warm water. Softening the food, making it easier to nibble on and chew, is amazing for dogs with sensitive teeth. Keep this in mind because it might be beneficial in the future.
