Happy Spring! While I know that some people LOVE spring cleaning, I’m not one of them. But I do appreciate a clean house, so I am sharing some tips and products to make living with dogs less messy.

Stop Dirt At The Door
Wipe those paws and feet. A coir mat is mildew resistant and can easily be vacuumed.
Wear boots outside and leave them at the door. Dog booties not only stop muddy paw prints but can help if your dog suffers from seasonal allergies. They are also great for protecting paws from salt.
Control Pet Hair
Brush and/or groom your dog regularly to prevent excessive shedding (or at least collect it in the brush.) A Furminator is great for pets with long hair.
Use a pretty throw or upholstery cover to protect furniture. When choosing a throw, look for one that is tightly woven to minimize the chance of being snagged.
Although it isn’t particularly difficult to run a vacuum cleaner, I don’t know many people who enjoy it. I know a lot of pet lovers who love their bObsweep, and it seems like most pets do too.
Clear the Clutter
An apron with a big pocket gives you a temporary place to stash the dog toys that you find all over the house.
Give your dog’s toys a home, you’ll be happier if you choose something you love. Make your life even easier by teaching your dog to put away his own toys.
A cute trinket tray is a fun way to keep track of small items and show your personality.
Freshen Up Your Decor
Adding greenery or a bouquet of flowers is an easy way to brighten up a room. Just be sure that the plants aren’t toxic to dogs (or cats.)
Add fun throw pillows or pet portraits.
Show your pet pride with an outdoor flag.

Do you have any tips for spring cleaning with pets?
I’m always looking for spring cleaning tips, especially as a dog owner! I’ve always thought it would be fun to teach my dog how to put away her toys, but she doesn’t actually play with toys! I love buying them, so I have a box of toys and most of them are in perfect condition.
I may have to get that door mat….so cute. Love the boots too:)
I love this! What a great sponsored post and a great way to do spring cleaning. I have little doggy touches in the house but I try not to go overboard. That’s the hardest part for me.
That is the tough part! There are so many cute dog decor items now!
Great list of products! I am actually looking to find a toy box that’s stylish for Edie’s toys – now if I can just get her to put them in toy box!
I’ve put off spring cleaning but really need to get on it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Spring Cleaning !! Oy Vey – will be doing mine over spring break when I do not have to teach and then it is going to be major. Great list of products thank you
These are some really great tips. Clear the clutter really needs to be more on my list. I can use a little help.
Love the pet hair tips. from Wayfair Homemakers
These are all great products! My faves are the welcome mat & the apron, so cute & useful too!
Love & biscuits,. Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
These are some great tips and products! We have a Shiba Inu that sheds a ton – that vacuum seems perfect!
I would love a robot vacuum. Mr. N doesn’t shed really but he tracks his fair share of dirt into the house!
What great tips and products! I do not love spring cleaning, but I am determined to try to do it this year! I hate vacuuming too. We have a robotic one but it doesn’t work the greatest…I’d like to try a newer model.
Funny you mentioned the flowers, I just got a bouquet this week! Spring is slow to arrive here and I really needed the cheering up.
I’m so glad you were able to use our post…thank you! It also reminds me that I don’t make Luke pick up his toys often enough, I need to keep him in practice! 🙂
The robotic one I have isn’t very good, but it seems like everyone loves their bObsweep.
These are great tips. I have a black lab and tan carpeting so I run the vacuum a lot!
These look like some fabulous products. I only have cats, but I do try to brush them often. Otherwise their hair gets everywhere.
Some really adorable items for this spring. Starting with the door mat. I am all about stopping dirt from coming in the house.
I would love to totally redecorate for Spring. I have a whole list of things!
I do love any tips about spring cleaning and your’s are great most especially to those who are owning more than 2 pets like me.
Oh my goodness I love those puppy rainboots. I need those considering how much it is raining around here.
These are all great ideas to make our home look and feel better this spring. I LOVE the chair covers. We need them to protect our furniture from our cat. Those rubber boots are so adorable! I would wear the every chance I get.
My favorite is the boots! I love spring cleaning it’s a great way to bring in new and fresh styles that brighten up any day or room for that matter
Thanks for the tips. My dogs do not like the brushing but it has been the single best way to keep the hair at a minimum.
Spring cleaning is a must in our house. I usually do the spring cleaning before Easter. Thanks for these tips!
I am slowly spring cleaning. Two reasons, looking for items to sell to make extra money and to declutter. Thanks for the additional tips to make the painful chore of Spring Cleaning so much easier to deal with.
I would love to have that throw. I have always been a sucker for stripes and that one is pretty. Spring cleaning may be tiring but I am so looking forward to it. 🙂
These are all so cute! I totally need to start Spring cleaning. I think I will need the mat!
I LOVE the rainboots. I want them for ME! I know my daughters would love them..but if they come in adult sizes – I am geting a pair!
Good thing I was able to stumble here. Now, I have such ideas from you by reading this. I guess I need to share this to my sister too so she would love to do the cleaning with me.
I love switching up hte decor in my home every so often. That way I don’t need to buy all new stuff and it keeps it interesting!
