Best tips for renters with dogs and cats was created by Sydney Jamieson
We're partnering with Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando on an article with tips for pet owners living in apartments. I thought I'd ask the experts, what is your best tip for renters with dogs/cats?

For dog owners especially: USE FLEA PROTECTION TREATMENTS. Renters tend to forget how many different animals you are sharing a space with, particularly if you are using the dog park & walking trail. It’s SO much better to prevent than treat after the fact!

If they don’t plan on picking up after it, it’s best not to adopt/own one. Dogs are like babies, in that they are unable to care for themselves and thus the owner/pet parent needs to understand the health risks involved by allowing the materials to decompose rather than dispose.

Don't leave your windows open on a windy day and forget to out your door stop on, with a dog who has anxiety. I learned this the hard way and now have to replace my carpet in my bedroom and living room

We do a reduced pet fee if residents adopt from a local shelter.

Ooh how about dollars off at the end of year or renewal time when they show documented community hours at the pet shelter?

Thanks for the awesome ideas! What is some more advice you’d give one of your residents who is adopting a dog?

Dogs love routine, a bored dog gets in trouble. Dogs take time to decompress from the shelter environment so don’t expect to see their true personality for a few weeks. Always microchip your pet!

Pick a chill dog- Size does not always determine how content a pet will be in an apartment, you want a couch potato, or a dog who likes bursts of exercise and then to chill:

Have them professionally trained for apt living. All the noises often cause barking, other dogs passing by causes barking - they need to learn when it’s okay to bark like at the Bark Park!
