Did you know that 43% of American homes have a dog and 33% have a cat? That’s a lot of four-legged friends! And while we love running around, playing, and snuggling with our family and pets, many of us have had to “kid proof” or “pet proof” our homes. This might mean adding baby gates in front of areas you don’t want them going into or placing food far away from the countertops where your pets can reach.

There’s another way you can ensure your family has the best quality of life: investing in the best blinds and shades for pets, kids, and everyone else who calls your space, home. Our team at Stamper’s Blinds Gallery is here to share what look for when shopping for new window treatments:

Cordless and Motorized Options

Dangling cords are a common hazard for pets and kids. From trips and tangles to potential play or gnawing, cords can cause concern for young kids and animals alike. Fortunately, at Stamper’s, we offer a variety of cordless window treatment operating systems from Hunter Douglas, including motorized choices.

PowerView® Automation is one handsfree control option that allows you adjust your blinds and shades with a remote, smartphone, or even your voice. Since this system is inherently cordless, you never have to worry about your pets getting into trouble when you’re not watching them.

Motorization benefits also include:

• Easy access from anywhere.
• Increased security for the home.
• Enhanced energy efficiency and reduced energy bills.

Non-Toxic Window Blinds

As pet owners know, animals love gnawing on anything that looks fun and tasty. This is especially true for younger pets. Investing in non-toxic window blinds allow you peace of mind by reducing the risk of chemical exposure. Modern blinds and shades are designed without harmful coatings or finishes, making them safer for curious cats, dogs, and even small animals.

Paying attention to the construction of a blind can also help reduce hazardous risks. Sturdy construction helps to avoid breakage. We recommend faux wood blinds for the durability—plus, they have the same great look of a painted or stained wood blind.

Durable Blinds and Shades

Pets can be tough on window coverings. Durable materials such as faux wood, aluminum, or reinforced and out-of-reach fabric shades tend to hold up better against scratches, nibbles, and everyday wear.

Roller and solar screen shades are also popular because they have a low-profile footprint that fits close to the window. They resist pulling and can be easily wiped clean after accidents or dirt.

Here’s what to look for in pet-proof window treatments:
