We need to care for them and we need to organize for them. Also like children, they can have a lot of stuff and we must designate a place for their belongings. Whether you store your pet supplies in a corner of your garage, backporch, a cabinet in your kitchen, or a basket in the den, choose a place that is convenient and has enough room to organize all your pet’s STUFF in one place. If you’re not organized, use the following guide to get started:- Choose a convenient location to store and organize all your pet’s supplies. - Gather up all your pet’s accessories – bowls, leashes, brushes, medicines, toys – and organize them in the newly designated pet area.
- Throw away: rusty leashes, old, rusty or broken cages and crates, toys your pet doesn’t play with, or those that are disgusting (you know which ones these are), and all items left from a deceased pet that you no longer need.
- Throw away treats your pet won’t eat.
- Wash all bowls and water dispensers.
- Bathe your pet and clean his collar.
- Check your pet’s sleeping area. Wash beds, or throw away and buy new ones.
- Empty all litter boxes, scrub clean, and refill with fresh litter. Evaluate the location of the litter box. It should be in a very low traffic area, and there should be room to store fresh litter, a scoop and a trash can, so cleanup is easy.
- If you have caged pets such as birds or hamsters, clean cages and evaluate their location. Does the pet get enough attention where it is? If it is active at night, does it disturb anyone’s sleep?
- Take your pet to your vet for a regular check-up.
- Organize pet health records of checkups, vaccinations, major illnesses, surgeries, medical tests and treatments, licenses, and prescriptions.
- Keep a complete pet description, picture, license number, names of veterinarians, and other pertinent information. Print out a pet health record for traveling, changing vets, or for your pet sitter!
You can stay organized by doing the following:
Monthly:
- Bathe your pet and clean its sleeping area.
- Completely empty your cat’s litter box and refill with fresh litter.
- Clean your fish tank.
- Administer prescribed prescriptions such as heartworm and flea medication.
Semi and/or Annually:
Schedule Vet check-ups.
Update pet information and registration and licenses.
