3. Providing a personal space for your furry friends
Similar to humans, pets also need their personal space. Giving your furry friends their own personal and private space is an excellent approach to make life more enjoyable and comfortable for them. From cosy corners in your bedroom to designing an entire room just for them, these private areas ensure that they feel at ease and show your pets that you care.
Your pets are also prone to tiredness, may become agitated at times, and may feel that their personal boundaries are violated. When they feel these emotions, it is important for them to have a quiet space to go to.
Furthermore, having their own private space away from you will keep them away from your furniture.

Keep a look out for sharp edges and rough surfaces can also cause injuries and discomfort to your pet. You should also ensure that there isn’t anything readily available for them to climb up on that could put them in danger.
