Your Pets Deserve The Best and So Does Your Plumbing!

Are you the owner of a pet? Most of the population doesn't associate plumbing issues with their pets. You probably wouldn’t even consider it a problem when you first purchased your pet. You wouldn’t debate on getting a pet, because you thought it would cause problems for your plumbing. But problems can creep up on you unexpectedly when you share your home with a dog or cat. Several universal pet-related plumbing problems live today. You have seen in the movies when a dog drinks in the toilet or like to splash in the sink or bathtub. While this may this all be fun and games, it not only wastes water but it can put a strain on your pipes. Furthermore, pet hair can clog drains just like human hair, every time your dog or cat gets a bath from its owner-you! To keep your drains and pipes clean with pets around.


As mentioned before, pet hair can clog your drains, so you’re going to want to invest in a drain strainer. If you think that pets don’t shed that much, just because they don’t have as much hair then you’re not the only one. Many pet owners think their pets shed less than they really do. The truth is: all pets shed, and they do so more than we imagine. Large amounts of hair can come off when grooming a pet. A drain strainer can keep all that hair out of your pipes and will make cleaning the tub so effortless. You should own a drain strainer even if you don’t have a pet.


Did you know that puppies and kittens tend to chew on pipes or drains to mature their teeth? In addition, sometimes-small pets get trapped in pipes or drains, especially hamsters. That is probably a pet owner's worst nightmare. To avoid these things from happening, purchase drain covers and make sure all uncovered drains are sheltered. You can in addition wrap your pipes to put off your pets chewing or block exposed pipes with furniture. As a pet owner, you want to do what’s best for your pet, be sure to purchase chew toys to keep his or her mouth occupied. It will save you the headache.

Lastly, you want to be weary of what your flushing down the toilet. Never EVER flush your cat's litter down the toilet. It will harm your plumbing system, that’s for sure. At the minimum, the litter will dirty your pipes, which allows more clogs to expand. DO the right thing and don’t flush pet waste down the toilet. It may seem like an easy solution, but in the long run, it’s the wrong decision.


If your unsure how often you should be cleaning out your cats litter box, for those who are new pet owners, Pet Finder has the answer for you. Litter boxes evidently, should be changed at least once or twice a day, and it's even better if you can get to it as soon as your cat has completed his or her business.
