Your Guide to Condo Living: Pet Edition

So, you’re thinking of moving to a condo but aren’t sure how your pet will adapt to the new environment. While it seems daunting, with a little preparation and research, transitioning your pet to condo life is very easy. With the new release of CityPointe Heights coming soon, we’re sharing our tips and tricks to getting the most out of life with your condo pet.

Condo Pet Policies

First things first, are pets allowed in condos? Well, it depends. Most condos have a regulated pet policy. This means that the condo allows pets but has certain restrictions on the weight, number, and type of pets allowed.

Now, let’s get into key strategies for taking care of your condo pets.

Taking Care of Business

If you’re a first-time new puppy owner, potty training in a condo is similar to in a house, but with a little more distance between the door and the grass. Because of this, you’ll have to put clear strategies into place to ensure your pet can easily relieve itself. Having regular walking times, rewards for proper signaling, and using tools like bells will make it easy for your pet to let you know when they need to go. While some pet owners allow their pet to relieve themselves on the balcony, this isn’t recommended. In addition to the risk of a mess, it can also reinforce bad habits.

Finding Nearby Parks

Like any living space, before you move into a condo, you should source out the best paths, fields, and green spaces in the surrounding area. At CityPointe Heights, our new condo in Brampton, residents have great walking options. For short walks, nearby green spaces include Crystalview Park and Davenfield Pond. For longer walks, Claireville Conservation Area is nearby, and Legion Park Off-Leash Dog Park is a short drive away.

Getting Some Help

For those with busy schedules, investing in a dog walker or pet daycare service can be very helpful. In condos, hiring a dog walker is easy because the concierge can manage their access to your unit. Pet daycares ensure your dog gets the exercise and socialization it needs. Near CityPointe Heights, places like Puppy Love Spa & Salon offer pet daycares and transportation services, while dogwalkers like K9-5 Dog Walking provide reliable walking services.
