Our pets are beloved members of our families. They’re wonderful companions who can always put a smile on our faces with their cheeky personalities. However, they require many necessities, which can leave new owners worried about having enough space at home to care for them. In this week’s blog, the team at Store That, offering self-storage in East London, discuss what should be considered when you adopt a new furry friend!

Store away fragile items

More often than not, dogs are rehomed or put into adoption centres because they’re simply too energetic for their previous owners. It’s possible that this is an inherited trait of their breed, meaning they’re not going to calm down any time soon. If you’ve got a dog, it’s probably a good idea to store away any fragile items in your home! Let’s not forget our feline friends. Even cats can be skittish or clumsy sometimes, accidentally knocking over a valuable vase on the side table…

Unfortunately, most people don’t have the adequate space to store these fragile possessions out of paws reach in their home. Consequently, it would be sensible to use self-storage in East London to hold these valuable items.

Wolfing it down

If you’re a big dog lover, then you best be prepared for the amount of food that they consume! Not only food, but you’ll also require bedding, toys, leads and grooming equipment to care for your furry friend. These items together do take up a lot of space! If you find that you need to make some room at home, then our storage containers at Store That Isle of Dogs (how ironic!), offer the perfect solution.

Adopt, don’t shop

Did you know that over 2.7 million animals enter animal shelters in the UK every year?! It’s no surprise that most animal shelters do not have the funding available to save all of the animals that arrive on their doorstep. This is why we should “adopt, don’t shop” for our next loving companion. There are many benefits to adopting a rescue dog, including:

·      You’re saving a life

·      They could be fully trained already

·      Rescue dogs are less expensive

·      Adopting helps to fight against illegal puppy mills
