Keep Your Furry Friends Safe with Pet-Friendly Fencing in Atlanta! 🐾

1. Height Matters: No Jumping Allowed!

If your dog’s favorite hobby is attempting to jump over every fence they see, you’ll want to think tall. For most medium-to-large breeds, we recommend a fence that’s at least 6 feet high to prevent any great escapes. Have a cat? Consider building upward barriers that discourage climbing—those little acrobats love to explore!

2. No Gaps, No Problem

Pets can be sneaky, especially smaller dogs or cats. Opt for fencing with no gaps between panels to prevent your curious critters from slipping through or getting their heads stuck. A wood privacy fence or vinyl panels can do the trick. Plus, no gaps also mean extra privacy for you!

3. Diggers Beware

If your pup loves to dig (looking at you, terriers 🐕‍🦺), consider a fence that addresses their underground aspirations. A dig-proof fence with a buried base or mesh underneath can keep your yard escape-free. This way, your dog can enjoy their yard without you worrying about sudden jailbreaks.

4. Smooth Surfaces to Avoid Injury

When choosing a fence, make sure it’s made of smooth, pet-friendly materials. Avoid sharp edges, splintering wood, or metal fencing with points that could hurt your pet. Vinyl fences are a great choice since they’re smooth and durable—perfect for all that zoomie energy!

5. Keep It Stylish and Safe

Who says pet-friendly can’t be stylish? If you’re looking to match your fence to your Atlanta home’s aesthetic, consider fences with decorative panels or latticework that still keep your pets secure. After all, safety and style can totally go hand in hand!

6. Gates Matter Too

Remember, it’s not just about the fence—make sure your gates are secure too! Pet-friendly gates should latch properly and have no gaps for paw pokes or heads to push through. Automatic or self-latching gates are a smart choice to ensure your gate never gets left open accidentally.
