It is the holiday season and time to get your Christmas trees up. But with it comes a lot of fear as a pet owner. You are scared more ornaments will become damaged, and the space gets messed up, especially if you have cats.

You know how felines love to climb trees. They try to reach those sparkly baubles. The same happens with dogs as you try to prevent Bonzo and Jack from running your Christmas trees over with garlands and wreaths.

Yet, it is great to have pets; you may have many of them or even a contentious one like Bonzo. Still, that does not mean your festive home should become a problem. So here we have some helpful tips on how you can make your home pet-friendly this Christmas to keep it clean.

Keep Your Pets Nice and Groomed

To maintain a home that stays clean with pets is to keep them clean and groomed. You can remove the loose hair by brushing them after a bath. You can trim their nails to prevent scratches on the furniture and your tree. While this does not work with cats, you can still brush them.

Sweep and Vacuum The Home Regularly

At this time of the year, pets shed hair often as they prepare for a winter coat to stay warm. Hence, sweeping and vacuuming the home helps to keep the house free of hair. In addition, you can use a lint roller on furniture. And while you are busy, you can also vacuum around your Christmas tree to keep it dust-free. Doing this helps to keep the home clean when guests pop in to visit.

Decorating Your Christmas Trees

With pets, you do not want your fragile ornaments becoming part of their daily fun. The best is to keep these ornaments away from them. However, if you have dogs, you can still decorate Christmas trees with delicate pieces by placing them higher up on the tree.

Doing this helps to keep your decorations intact. When you hang garlands and wreaths, place them far above Jack or Bonzo’s reach. Still, when it comes to your feline friends, you need to approach things differently.

The best is to place Christmas trees by securing them to the ceiling to prevent Miss Frisky from jumping them over. We all know how cats love to jump onto trees. So put your tree far away from the furniture, leaving them with no head start to jump.

Keep a Clean-Up Spot Near Your Front Door

You can try as hard to keep the home clean as your dog will most likely end up in mud when going outside. First, keep wipes, towels, and other clean-up items near the entrance. You can then quickly give your pet a rub down with the towel to prevent them from spreading the mess all over the floor.

We hope these small tips are helpful to keep your home clean this festive season while protecting your Christmas trees at the same time.
