What Calgary Dogs and Cats Look For in Their Next Home (And How to Find the Purr-fect Place!)

Imagine if your furry family members could join you on a house tour and give their honest opinions. What would they notice first? What would make them wag their tails or purr with delight? Let’s take a walk (or a catnap) through the eyes of your pets and discover what truly makes a house a home for them!

For the Dogs: Sniffing Out the Essentials 🐶

• Room to Roam: Dogs love space! Whether it’s a backyard for zoomies or a nearby park for daily adventures, open areas are a top priority for our canine companions.
• Windows at Nose Level: Dogs are natural watchdogs. A window where they can keep an eye on the neighborhood (and the mail carrier) is a huge plus.
• Paw-Friendly Floors: Hardwood, tile, or scratch-resistant surfaces help keep paws safe and make cleaning up muddy prints a breeze.
• Safe Spaces: A cozy nook or a dedicated doggy den helps pups feel secure and at home.

For the Cats: The Ultimate Comfort Seekers 🐱

• Sunny Spots: Cats are sun-chasers. Windowsills or rooms with plenty of natural light are perfect for those afternoon catnaps.
• Vertical Spaces: Shelves, cat trees, or staircases—anything that lets a cat climb and survey their kingdom is a winner.
• Quiet Corners: Cats appreciate peaceful retreats away from the hustle and bustle, so a quiet room or alcove is ideal.
• Safe Outdoor Access: Some cats love a secure patio or “catio” for fresh air and birdwatching.
