Cat-Proof Blinds and Dog-Proof Blinds That Still Look Stylish
If you have pets, you already know they can treat your home like an obstacle course. Blinds become a climbing gym, drapery gets shredded, and no window treatment is safe if there's a mailman within barking distance.
At Blinds and Shutters of All Kinds near Newhall, California, we know how useful window treatments are for privacy and light control, but we also know that your pets’ needs are important, too. We carry all types of Hunter Douglas blinds to suit your home and lifestyle, and our team is happy to help you find stylish cat-proof blinds or dog-proof blinds that withstand even the most rambunctious behavior.
Cat-Proof Blinds and Dog-Proof Blinds: Materials and Features
Not all blinds or shades are cat-proof or dog-proof; pet-friendly window treatments typically have very specific features due to their construction or materials. Look for window coverings that are:
- Durable: Your window coverings need to withstand feline acrobatics and scratches.
- Easy to Maintain and Clean: Blinds should require minimal upkeep and be a breeze to wipe down.
- Cordless: Corded blinds pose a safety and strangulation risk to pets.
- Stylish: Dog- or cat-proof blinds should complement your décor and enhance the look of your home.
Recommendations for Cat-Proof Blinds and Dog-Proof Blinds
Semi-sheer shades and blinds are ideal for your pet because they can both provide and block views of the outdoors. If your dog’s favorite pastime is sitting in front of the window, along with a love of barking at passersby, you can accommodate your dog’s needs with the right window treatments, especially if you have motorized blinds, shutters, or shades.
At Blinds and Shutters of All Kinds, we carry all types of Hunter Douglas blinds and shades and can help you find cat- and dog-proof options that work for you, including:
- EverWood®Faux Wood Blinds: Faux wood mimics the appearance of natural wood and holds up to daily pet activity.
- Modern Precious Metal® Mini Blinds: A resilient aluminum alloy allows these sleek, stylish blinds to bounce back into shape if bent by an enthusiastic puppy.
- NewStyle® Composite Shutters: Wood composite materials won’t bend or break, and these shutters wipe down for easy maintenance.
- Cordless Designer Roller Shades: Easy to raise and lower, roller shades come in hundreds of colors and offer little opportunity for dogs and cats to cling to the fabric or climb.
Motorizing Your Window Treatments
Adding motorization to your window treatments makes it easier to raise or lower them. Create a schedule that works with your daily life and offers enrichment for your pets without disruption: raise them so they can enjoy the view and lower them when necessary. You can select one shade or blind to lower or raise, or coordinate movement for all window treatments at once to maximize energy efficiency.
