Pugs make great apartment dogs!

Here are a few of the top breeds that would make a great companion for your TriBridge Apartment.

  • Pugs – These cuties love to be indoors and are great with children and other pets. Though these watchdogs will protect your home, they will not bark needlessly.
  • Bichon Fise – These adorable pups are extremely social, loyal, and thrive as active indoor dwellers when provided ample exercise opportunities. The best part is that these dogs don’t yap, so they won’t drive you or your neighbors crazy.
  • Lhasa Apso – When you bring one of these furry-faced pups home, you can expect a friendly, obedient watchdog. When walked daily, these dogs will adapt well to apartment living.
  • Yorkshire Terrier – How can you resist that face? Loving and loyal, these dogs will be happy and active indoors when you exercise them regularly.

Tips to Create a Cat-Friendly Apartment

Being a good pet guardian is all about meeting your pet’s needs. Simply put, a happy pet is better behaved and more fun to be around! That’s why we’ve put together this list of tips to create a cat-friendly apartment.

  • Make it easy for your cat to look out the window

    Make sure your cat has a scratching post. This is a must for cat-owners. All cats need a surface to scratch so make sure your kitty has one aside from your furniture!

  • Make time to play. If your cat is acting up, it’s a good bet that its play-time needs aren’t being met. Schedule daily play sessions with your cats to help burn that pent up energy and to give your cat a positive way to vent its hunting urges.
  • Make vertical space. Cats are natural climbers, so make sure they have something to climb! A cat tree, cat stairs, or even some well-secured vertical shelves will give your kitty something to perch on and climb other than your sofa.
  • Make your windowsills easily accessible. Speaking of perching, another great way to make sure your cat is happy is by providing them with a nice windowsill to lie on. Your cat will love being able to bask in the sunshine and look out the window!

Don’t forget to check the pet policy at your TriBridge Residential apartment before making plans to bring a new cat into your home. And for more tips, check out Make Your Home Cat-Friendly!

Five Things To Do Before Adopting a Pet For Your Apartment

Sure, the puppy is adorable--but are you really ready to adopt it?

Adopting a pet is a big step that many people make impulsively at the sight of an adorable animal. To be sure that you’re ready to adopt a pet to join you in your pet-friendly TriBridge apartment, you’ll want to take these five steps:

  1. Assess the situation. Are you ready for a pet? Pets are expensive, take a lot of time, and require a lifelong commitment. Be sure that you’re ready to give a proper home to a pet you adopt.
  2. Do your homework. Before adopting a dog, be sure that you’ve researched the breeds. Breeds have different energy levels, grooming needs, etc. Find the dog that fits your life style.
  3. Before bringing an animal home, spend some time with them at the shelter to see if your personalities mesh.
  4. If adopting a puppy, be sure to tell your neighbors. It’s better to let them know ahead of time, as the puppy’s night time cries will make a lot of noise as they get used to their new surroundings.
  5. Talk to a vet. A vet will tell you what medical expenses to expect upfront with your new pet and will help talk you through the process.
Follow these steps to start a great new life with a pet in your TriBridge apartment!
