Building Tip #4- Don't forget the family members on four legs!

When building a home if you have pets taking advantage of this time is something you might really enjoy now and in the long run and be happy that you did. Below are pictures and descriptions of things people have had built into their homes to accommodate their furry friends.
When doing this in your home be creative have fun with it we love our pets for a reason and you know them best, I hop you enjoy the options I have found below.

A built in Litter Box

• Having a special cabinet or wall section in you kitchen, laundry room, or bathroom be added with a built in litter box can put it out of site from guests and even away from little hands, while still making it just as easy for you to clean it up.

Built in Food Bowls

• Having a specific place for your pets to eat added to your home can make a random food bowl on the floor a part of your kitchen or laundry room while also giving you a place to put the food and treats. 

They even added a facet to making filling up the water bowl even easier.

Built in Dog Bath

• These can be easily added to your garage, laundry room, or mudroom. This would provide you an easier way to clean your muddy pet. This can also be used by anyone in the family including muddy kids. With its multiple uses this one is a hard one to look past.

Lastly a Build in Dog or Cat Crate or Bed

• Adding this to your home can provide you furry friend with their own special space to go, while making it look completely apart of your home.

As a final note I have plans for when I build what I am going to do for my dogs. I have two giant english mastiffs, don't ask me how I ended up with two of the heaviest dogs in the world. No ordinary dog house will do for these dogs as our female at 5 months currently is as long as a loveseat laying down and 80lbs to give you an idea of their size. My husband planned on building them an epic dog house of 32 sq ft since we prefer to keep our dogs outside during the day. Instead when we build we are going to have a 3 car deep garage and at the very back we plan to have a separate room with a door to the back yard that has a doggies dog big enough for them on it. In that room we will put beds and food bowls for them to enjoy -we really love our dogs. That way they can have a their own room that is connected to the house so they can stay warm and cool, while still being able to enjoy and play outside. 

Do one of these things or even something you have thought up on your own is something that can completely fit you and your pets, not everyone will need a room at the back of their garage for their dogs, but I do and I am excited to have that for my dogs.
