Moving to a new home in Bryan College Station, TX is exciting for everyone, even your family pet. One excellent part about this area of Central Texas is the spacious yards and beautiful weather for Fido to enjoy. Therefore, when you are moving into a new home, he’ll have the space he needs to exercise, have fun, and relax. If the prior owners did not have a pet, you may need to make a few changes so everyone is happy and living stress free.

Fence In Your Yard

Not all homes will have a fenced in area for pets. It’s important to have one, so they don’t run off and get lost, especially in a new neighborhood. Some fencing is inexpensive and beautiful. The larger your dog, the more sturdy you would want your fence to be.

Have a Pet Friendly Garden

This would be another area to consider placing a small picket fence of some sort around. Dogs are quite curious and can get into your plants and flowers. Also, be careful of the types of plants you have in your new backyard. Some are toxic to animals, and even if fenced off, you may want to have them removed.

Have a Designated Bathroom Area

Since you are in a new home, you have a bit of retraining to do for your pet. You can’t always get them out for a walk, so put extra consideration and time into training them on where to go to relieve themselves in your yard. You don’t want to come out for a family gathering to a not so nice surprise.

Make the Yard Comfortable For Your Dog

Finally, make sure there is a shady area for your dog to relax and cool off. Keep an area outdoors where they can access clean water as well. During the long hot summer months, this will be imperative so your furry friend does not get overheated.

These four simple tips will keep “Fido” happy and healthy while he enjoys the Central Texas weather. Plus, you will bees comfortable letting them enjoy their outside time knowing your pet will remain securely in his new yard.
