To keep your arsenal of pet supplies tidy and organized, consider creating a central, pet-designated area for your supplies. This can be an all-in-one storage option, or you can assign stations for different activities like walks, play, and grooming.
From there, make supplies easy to access by keeping heavy items like large food bags lower down and less frequent items like litter or weather gear in a cabinet or closet. Assign particular items to containers or drawers in a way that makes sense to you. For example, collars, treat bags, and poop bags could go in one drawer for walks, while chew toys and bones go in another.
Use hooks to hang leashes or add a floor basket by the door with rolled towels to clean up on rainy days. Try making a grooming caddy with commonly used items like nail clippers, shampoo, and brushes, so you’re reminded often and have instant access when you get poked with dagger-like claws.
Keep pet first aid handy in a well-marked container in an easily accessible location for emergencies. Don’t forget to include folders to collect any important vet records. It’s never fun when your pet is injured, but having these items readily available means quicker treatment so your critters can return to their happy and healthy selves that much faster.
