What To Look For When Choosing Dog Friendly Apartment

Getting that ideal dog friendly apartment is a really big deal if you are a dog lover and actually own or plan to own a dog.  You and you dog must be comfortable within those surroundings and the accommodation must be at least 80% suitable for your pet. There are thousands of apartments that advertise that they are dog friendly. But there dog friendly apartment simply means that dogs are allowed to reside in the apartment. But it does not mean that the complex is suitable for dogs. Aside from simply allowing dogs within their walls, an apartment complex needs to have much more than that to be considered "dog friendly". So if you are seeking a home for you and your pooch, one that will be suitable for both parties, here is a list of things to look for at that apartment complex.

1. Large Common Area
Dog friendly apartments must have some large area outdoors where your pet can have a good time. Dogs do need to let loose at times and that includes running and playing. It would be good if that open area is also grassed to allow good play between you and your dog. There is nothing sweeter to a dog than being able to lie around and role all over the place, run and feel free. Remember that this contributes directly to your dogs health as running and playing helps to give the dog much needed exercise to allow the animal to have a much healthier lifestyle.

2. Places To Walk Dog
Apartments can have walking trails for its residents, but it is not a must that they do. But dog friendly apartments should be in close proximity to areas which where you can walk your dog safely. These walking areas could be a walking path in the woods, trail around the park.  Walking your dog is a vital part of being a good dog owner, so your apartment should make it easy for you to tend to this task every day.

3. Near A Dog Park
Sometimes, your dog wants to get off their leash. You may want to play a game of fetch with them outdoors, or just let them run and play with other dogs. This can be be hard to do in an apartment complex that doesn't have a designated dog run or dog park. These fenced areas provide a safe environment for you to unclip your dog's leash and let them have some fun without worrying about them running out into traffic or chasing after a cat and getting lost. Just make sure that your dog is well behaved enough to be around the other dogs that will likely be in the dog run. 
You shouldn't take every apartment complex at their word when they say they are dog friendly. Instead, do your research and make sure that they offer the amenities listed above.
