Are you planning to design a comfy nook for your dog? Spoil your furry baby with a cute space organised just for them.
When renovating and transforming your home into a tranquil sanctuary, you should also consider organising a dedicated nook for your beloved pup. A playroom for your dog can provide physical and mental stimulation to keep them fit. In addition, creating a playroom for your dog can ensure their safety when you are not around.
Your focus should be on creating a dog sanctuary that excites them mentally while offering them sufficient space to play and exercise—to boost their heart rate. If you are looking for inspiration, we have some cute decor ideas that will excite your four-legged buddy.
If you are creating a space for your dogs in your room, dedicate a corner to them. Instead of allocating an entire room to your fur babies, install pet gates or fences to designate a nook just for your pooch. It could be a corner of your bedroom, laundry room or living room. A dog gate or fence with a mesh can help separate your room from your dog’s space.
It is not necessary to install special flooring for dogs, but if they play on skid-free mats, they will slip less and have a better grip on the ground.
Your puppy mook is incomplete without a soft, comfy bed for your pooch to relax in. During the winter season, your pup will likely prefer a warm and cosy bed to sleeping on the cold floor. You may also opt for an electric thermal blanket if your dog is prone to catching cold.
Dogs are susceptible to infections—therefore, opt for washable bed sheets, blankets and pillows for them. Wash their sheets once every week to avoid infections and allergies. Make sure the sheets are made of soft and comfortable fabrics.
Your dog’s nook should have plenty of interactive toys to keep them entertained—especially when you don't have time to play with them. Get some chew toys, plushies and rubber balls. You may also set up mat puzzle toys—designed for dogs and appeal to their sniffing instinct.
Your dog room or nook should have a water and food bowl placed in a corner. You can get an automated feeder to make sure your pup follows a fixed schedule for their meals—even when no one is home.
If you are creating a nook for an adult dog, pet stairs are perfect as they can help your furry friend climb on elevated places. Pet stairs are available in many sizes, pick one based on the size and need of your dog. If you have a small dog, they can climb the stairs and reach up to your lap when you are seated on a raised stool, chair or couch.
If you want to create a separate nook for your dog, your first step should involve deciding whether to allocate a separate room to them or dedicate a specific corner of your room. A quiet spot would be the ideal choice so that your furry buddy can relax and enjoy some quiet time alone.
