Ways to protect your house from your pets

[Catherine]

We love our pets, but they can be destructive. Cats scratch furniture and dogs scratch doors and chew things. Sometimes we don't know what to do. There are solutions.

Here are ten things you can do to protect your home from your pet.

I think some of the ideas are great. Protecting the door with a smooth scratch proof sheet is good. Better might be to attach a cardboard scratching post to the door. Then the pet can scratch away and work the claws while the door stays safe. 

Using natural oils like lavender, eucalyptus and cedar to repel fleas is good. Rosemary works as well and it has a pleasant smell. You could even blend the oils and combine odor control with flea control. 

The double sticky tape might work to keep the cat off the counter. It might work to keep me off the counter as well. I am not sure how helpful this suggestion is.

At least we know there are solutions.
