Did you know that according to the AVMA almost 40% of American households own a dog and just over 25% own a cat. Needless to say, pets are members of our families, so it’s important they’re taken into consideration when making decisions about your window treatments. We’ve all seen the photos and videos of the pet-destroyed blinds or cat-shredded curtains and while it’s funny to see online, it isn’t as funny when it’s your blinds.

There are so many options for window treatments it can be hard to choose what treatment works best for you. We’ve done some of the hard work for you and compiled a list of window treatments that work best for you and your furry family member.

Pet Approved

Faux Wood Blinds

A classic staple in the window treatment industry - Faux Wood Blinds can be found in almost “Best For” list. While these blinds look like wood they are much more durable, moisture resistant, and they won’t crack chip or peel. Select large slats for more see-through for your pets, but beware of pets that like to stick their paws, head, or body inside the window treatments.

Vertical Blinds

Our pets’ favorite pastime is looking out the window. This usually means pushing the treatment to the side to get a better view. Vertical Blinds are perfect because they easily part to allow your pets to slip through. They are also sturdy, easy to clean, and slats can be easily replaced if needed. If you have a young dog or puppy in the home, Vertical Blinds could become a chew toy. If that’s something you’re concerned about, keep reading - we have more excellent options for you.

Roller Shades

Another perfectly durable pet-approved treatments. Roller Shades are a single shade and easily allow pets to slip behind. They’re also much less likely to collect fur and dust. Opt for cordless for even more pet-approved safety. Roller Shades are made from fabric or sheer-weave material, so if you have a scratch-happy kitty, use another option on this list.
