If you share your home with an adorable furry pal or two, you know that extra precautions need to be taken, in order for your home to remain safe for them.

What some owners may overlook, however, are their window treatments. Dangling cords and bulky drapes can not only cause harm to young children, but also to your pets. Getting tangled up in cords or stuck in cumbersome drapes can lead to injury or worse, which means that the window treatments you choose for your home are important. Whether you crate your pet while you’re away or they’re left to roam from room to room unattended, it only takes a second for an accident to happen.
