If you have a dog, you probably have a lot of supplies, toys, bedding, and other items for them, too.  Make your life easier by organizing your dog stuff. Check out unique ways to store treats, toys, and other essentials for your dog.

As a professional organizer, I’m all about getting the entire home organized. But first, like a good dog owner, I have to show you a picture of my dog.  

This is Charlie.  He is the awesome mutt we got from the pound when he was a young stray.  He’s 7 now and part Brittney spaniel and part dachshund…we think.  I don’t know about you, but I think mutts are the best.  He has such a great personality and loves us with 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 to help organize your dog stuff.

DIY leash holder.

There are so many DIY leash holder designs out there.  Here are two I really like:

This one uses scrap wood.  I love the mason jar of treats, too.  Charlie is VERY big on treats!

Here are my favorite size of mason jars (on Amazon).

By the way, here are 25 other things you can do with mason jars!

This DIY leash holder is also very simple to make.   I love the attached bag holder.

How to organize dog stuff like treats and supplies.

This uses a simple, inexpensive set of drawers. Easy.

Re-purpose an old dresser.

Using a dresser is so clever.  Store the supplies in the drawers and use the bottom drawer for their food and water.

Do you buy your dog food in bulk? Store it in a large bin with an air-tight lid.

We keep ours right next to the food and water bowls.  That way, we don’t have dog food rolling all over the kitchen when we fill his bowl. Like the mat?  🙂 Get it here.

We 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.

Organize your dog stuff: Treat containers.

Charlie loves his treats.  Bet your dog does, too.  We keep his treats in an old cheese ball container. Nothing fancy, but I like that it has a tight-fitting, screw-on lid. Here are some great DIY ones to use for your own pet. Or you can make one as a gift for another pet owner.

Painted mason jar.

See, I told you those mason jars were awesome for lots of projects!

How about this little cutie?  Made from a terra cotta pot and saucer with a glass bowl for the treats. How cute!

You love your pets. But you don’t love the fur-covered furniture. Nose prints on the doors are annoying. And having litter scattered everywhere is also a downside of living with animals. Have you just about given up the idea of keeping your house clean with your pets around? Here’s the solution you’ve been waiting for! (And it’s FREE) 👇

Organize your dog stuff: Dog beds.

Here are some great ideas for DIY dog beds. Now your furry family member can sleep like a king or queen! 🙂

This one is made from an old drawer and kitchen cabinet door.

Awesome!!!  (Here are other ways to re-purpose old dresser drawers)

If you have a small dog, it’s easy to make cute bed from a nightstand.

Just add a cushion and a door.

Last one is an indestructible dog bed made from a tire.

Love it! (note: the site this is from is in Portuguese, but you get the gist from the picture.)

Do you travel with your dog?

Pack up some tension rods as a baby gate to safely contain pets.

This is especially helpful when visiting other homes. Take them with you to Grandma’s or other places that require a baby gate. Your dog is safely contained yet can see what’s going on. No need to pack a large regular baby gate. (By the way, the model for this tip is Charlie when he was younger.) 🙂

How to keep your house clean with a dog around.

Our dogs have always slept in a crate.  It is their “safe” zone.  But our last dog was very old and sometimes had an accident in there overnight. Especially once she developed Old Dog Syndrome. So, here is another post I wrote showing how we cleaned her dog bed. It is easy, really!

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 the dog’s 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. Is there still some stubborn hair? Use a spray bottle to mist 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!

So, there you go, easy ways to organize your dog stuff!  How do you organize your dog stuff?  Drop me a line! I’d love to know!  Oh, and of course, if you want to show off your fur baby, too, show me in the comments 🙂

Happy organizing!
