When it comes to purchasing a home – the largest investment most people will ever make – it's critical to think about your family's needs. Everyone in your family.

Our dogs are very important to us. They are the most important person in their lives.

" While some people may not go to such lengths for their pets, they are still a big part of their owners' home-buying decisions. "When searching for a new home, consumers don't only look for pet-friendly features within the home; 18 percent of recent homebuyers said it was very important that their new neighborhood is convenient to a vet and/or outdoor space for their pet(s)," according to a survey. "Not only do pets have an impact on specific qualities desired in households, but also in communities..."
According to the NAR, three features appear to be particularly essential to pet parents when searching for their ideal house: a fenced yard, a spacious enough home for everyone, and flooring.
