5 Tips for Remodeling Your Home with Pets
1. Plug any holes in the wall or floor. A curious animal can squeeze into a tiny space and quickly become scared or trapped.
2. Make sure your pet has a current ID or a microchip, in case they do get out.
3. Consider boarding your pet somewhere safe during a remodeling project.
4. Create a pet-safe room. Put them in your bedroom with litter box and some new toys. It’s worth the additional cries or paws the door to ensure their safety.
