Spring is here and that means time it is time for Spring cleaning. If you have pets your house may be extra messy! Whether it’s the endless shedding, litter tracked everywhere, or a trail of muddy pawprints, they seem to leave a mess wherever they go. Thankfully, having a pet doesn’t have to be a never-ending chore. Here are some Spring cleaning tips to minimize the mess and keep your house neat and clean.

Shedding
Except for certain breeds, such as poodles, Sphynx cats, and hairless dogs, all dogs and cats shed, some more so than others. Pet hair seems to magically multiply on its own, forming fuzz bunnies right before your eyes. Although you can’t stop your pet from shedding, you can get the upper hand by brushing their coat regular brushing. Brushing doesn’t have to be a chore. Four Paws Magic Coat Love Glove dog grooming glove can make brushing a pleasant and bonding experience for you and your dog. Magic Coat Love Glove gently removes excess hair while massaging your dog’s skin. As a bonus, it can also be used to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets, and furniture.

Besides regular brushing, reduce shedding and keep your dog’s coat healthy by using a de-shedding shampoo. Four Paws Professional Series Nourishing Oatmeal De-Shedding Dog Shampoo helps strengthen healthy hair to reduce breakage and has omega-3 fatty acids to prevent excess shedding. It is also paraben-free and dye-free and leaves their coat smelling fresh and clean.

Litter

Litter can be messy and smelly! And if you want your cats to use the litter box instead of the rest of your home, you have to keep the litter box clean. That means doing everyone’s least favorite chore: scooping litter daily. Fortunately, there is a way out. The Litter-Robot is a self-cleaning litter box that eliminates the chore of scooping. With the Litter-Robot, you never have to scoop again! It automatically sifts waste after every use and helps control odor by depositing litter clumps and solid waste into a tightly sealed drawer. You can even control and monitor this smart litter box straight from your phone and the Whisker app. Rather than having multiple litter boxes throughout your home for multiple cats, one Litter-Robot can be used for up to four cats.

Messy Feet
Why is it that dogs have the uncanny ability to find the only puddle of mud in your yard? If you are tired of cleaning muddy pawprints, there are a couple of things you can do to keep you floors and furniture clean. You can use Magic Coat Professional Series Nourishing Oatmeal Cat and Dog Grooming Wipes to keep their paws clean. Magic Coat Professional Series Nourishing Oatmeal Cat and Dog Grooming Wipes can also be used in-between baths to keep their coats fresh and clean. They are easy to use, require no rinsing, and are safe for everyday use for dogs and cats.

Accidents
Anyone who has cats can attest that pets are messing roommates. Whether it’s litter box accidents, hairballs, vomiting or potty issues, it is inevitable you will need to clean up after your pet sometime. Besides cleaning up the accident, it is important to use the right product. Choose a cleaning product that is safe to use around your pet and that is formulated to neutralize pet odors. For example, urine smell can remain even if it seems completely cleaned-up. To prevent your cat or dog from having another accident because they can still smell the urine, use a product that neutralizes rather than covers up the smell.

Puppy Phase
While I am on the topic of accidents, I believe the “puppy phase” deserves special mention. If puppies weren’t so cute, I don’t think we would survive past the messiness of the “puppy phase.” Puppies are messy. They are not only messy eaters, but also messy poopers! For being so small and cute, they seem to leave a disproportionately giant and nasty mess everywhere they go. Fortunately, for those house-training their puppy, there are products that can make this “puppy phase” less painful. Four Paws Wee-Wee Odor Control Training Pads with Febreze at least make clean-up easier. These training pads are formulated with the power of Febreze to neutralize ammonia odors and keep your home smelling fresh. They are leak-proof, have a rapid-drying top layer to prevent wet paw tracking, and have an attractant to draw dogs to the pad. House-training your puppy can be ruff but Four Paws Wee-Wee Odor Control Training Pads can make clean-up easier.

House Cleaning Advice
Just a word of caution regarding cleaning and pets, you need to be careful with cleaning products around your pets. Always keep them stored safely away from pets and children and remember if you clean the floor or counter, make sure it’s dry before you let your pets walk on it. Remember pets often lick their feet and can ingest any chemicals that get on their paws.

Pets can be messy but they give us so much love and joy, they are worth it! With the right products cleaning up after your dogs and cats doesn’t have to be hard.
