If you have a dog, you probably have a lot of supplies, toys, bedding, and other items for them, too.  Today’s post is about how to organize your dog stuff.

But, first, like a good dog owner, I have to show you a picture of my dog.  This is Lacey.  She is our awesome 16-year-old mutt we got from the pound when she was 9 weeks old.  She’s part German Shepherd and part collie (we think).  I don’t know about you, but I think mutts are the best.  She has such a great personality and loves us with a complete and unconditional love.  I bet your dog is the same!  And that’s why we love them so.  So, to make life with your 4-legged family member easier, here are some ideas I’d like to share about how to organize your dog stuff.

If you buy your dog food in bulk like we do, store it in a large bin with an air-tight lid.

We actually keep ours right next to Lacey’s food and water bowls because it’s always been the kids’ job to feed her.  That way we don’t have dog food rolling all over the kitchen when they tried to fill her bowl. Like her mat?  ðŸ™‚ Get it here.

We just keep a large plastic drinking cup in the bin for a scoop, but you can also attach a Command hook to the outside to hang up the scoop.

Lacey loves her treats.  Bet your dog does, too.  We keep her treats in an old cheese ball container. Nothing fancy, but I like that it has a tight-fitting lid. Here are some great DIY ones to use for your own pet or to give as a gift to another pet owner.

How to keep your house clean with a dog around.

Lacey sleeps in her crate.  It is her “safe” zone.  But she’s old and sometimes has an accident in there overnight, especially since her onset of Old Dog Syndrome. So, here is another post I wrote showing how we clean her dog bed. It is easy, really!

Clean the dog bed? Not a pleasant topic, but to keep your home clean and your pet healthy, cleaning soiled pet bedding is gross but necessary (and easy).

Finally, you can use several ways to keep all that fur they shed under control.

I use a cat brush to clean the fur off of both Lacey’s bed and the cats’ beds, too.  Seriously! It works fast and gets almost all of the hair off!

An inexpensive squeegee works GREAT to remove fur from carpets, furniture, and car seats. If there is still some stubborn hair, use a spray bottle to mist some water on it to really get it up. (Here are other ways to really get your car clean)

You can also use a rubber glove to do the same thing!
