• Introduce Your Pet to Workers

If your pet is friendly, let them meet and sniff the contractors who will be entering and      exiting the home. Allowing them to familiarize with scents and voices may make them more at ease during the overall experience, even if those voices are out of sight for the better part of each day.

• Crate Your Pet

Eliminate the risk of a pet escaping out of a propped door by keeping your pet safely crated, or in a comfortable, locked space of its own during the workday. A little inconvenience for the pet far outweighs the dangers of allowing a pet to be underfoot or unleashed in a construction zone.

• Rotate in New Toys and Treats

If you’re at home with your pet during a construction day, keep a stash of new, exciting toys and treats at your disposal. They’ll help distract and entertain pets that are bothered by the construction process.
