How often should I clean my pet's living area?

Asked 6 months ago
We recommend cleaning your pet's living area at least once a week, if not more frequently depending on your pet's specific needs. Regular cleaning helps maintain a healthy and hygienic environment for your furry friend. For small pets like hamsters or guinea pigs, spot cleaning daily and a thorough clean once a week is sufficient. Cats require litter box cleaning at least twice a week, while dogs' living areas, such as crates or bedding, should be washed and sanitized weekly. However, factors such as the size of the enclosure, the type of pet, and any existing health conditions may influence the cleaning frequency. Always observe your pet's behavior and cleanliness to ensure their surroundings are clean and comfortable.
