Dogs: Wonderful World Of Window Treatments

We are a nation of animal lovers with 12.5 million dogs standing as members of the family. For those who have never had a pet before, the destruction that small animals can cause is sometimes a shock. They need to scratch, play and be boisterous - much like smaller children in many ways. Therefore, it pays to invest in blinds that can withstand their playful ways, instead of having to constantly replace and repair the pieces you have. Choosing window blinds that dogs can’t destroy is a tall task. Most animals can find a way to damage an item if they want to. But, knowing the best blinds for this purpose is the first step to taking back control of your home.


 

The best window blinds that dogs can’t destroy

Unfortunately, there are very few window blinds on the market that are entirely indestructible. The best thing you can do is tailor your choice to help minimise the risk of chewing, prevent your dog from getting their head stuck and keep cords as far out of reach as possible.

 

One Option is Cordless Roller Blinds

Combining safety, style and practicality all into one, cordless roller blinds are an ideal option for homes with dogs. The sleek design eliminates the need for a pull cord entirely. Instead, there is a spring-loaded mechanism built into the fabric. To adjust, you pull gently on the bottom of the fabric to release the hold and move the blind to the position you require. As well as eliminating the risk of entanglement, cordless roller blinds are also available in a host of fabric options. 100% waterproof styles are largely chosen for bathrooms and kitchens but they also have a wipe-clean surface. If your dog persists in jumping on your windows to ‘greet’ every passerby, this easy-clean finish will allow you to keep your home looking its best.



Open the blinds in the morning and you eliminate the chance of accidents or your four-legged friend damaging the fabric.
