Designing a Lake Home for You and Your Pets
When building a lake home in the Iowa Great Lakes, it's not only important to consider the amount of family and friends you plan on hosting, but also how your pets will fit into the space. With a few thoughtful choices, you can make it a great spot for both you and your furry friends. Here are some simple ideas to guide you.
Outdoor Essentials
Fenced Yard: A strong, stylish fence will keep your pets safe while enjoying the outdoors. Look for options like wrought iron or cedar for durability and a nice look.
Your Patio: Design your outdoor space with features like shade, water stations, and easy access for your pets, using ramps or stairs.
Wash Station: An outdoor bath area helps keep your pet clean after playing by the water.
Indoor Tips
Durable Flooring: Choose hardwood or tile floors for easy clean up. Try to avoid carpets, they will hold pet hair and odors
Easy-Clean Furniture: Try to pick furniture with washable covers to make cleaning up pet messes simple.
Tiny Touches: Have small things like pet beds and framed pet photos to make your home feel cozy and to show off the love for your furry friends.
Other Features
Landscaping: Make sure you use non-toxic plants t and create a small turf area for your pets. This will make sure they are safe and happy.
Adding Touches: A pet door, a cozy spot by the fireplace, a toy box, or even a dedicated pet corner can make life easier.
