Whether You’re in South Florida or the Northern States, Don’t Forget About Your Pets!

At Kenco Home Inspections in Southeast Florida, we’re all about keeping homes safe—but we also care about your furry (and feathered) family members! While we don’t inspect your pets, we’re here to help keep them comfortable, no matter the season.

The Southern vs. Northern State:
In South Florida, your dog might be chilling by the pool, wondering why it’s still 85 degrees in January. Meanwhile, pets up north are bundled up in tiny sweaters, giving you side-eye because they haven’t seen grass in months.

While we Floridians are dodging iguanas falling out of trees during “cold snaps,” northerners are shoveling snow while their pets wonder why their paws feel like popsicles. It’s a different world, but the bottom line is the same: pets need to be comfortable and safe, no matter where you live!

Pet Safety Tips for All Climates:
 Dog Owners, Tread Carefully: Whether it’s a rainy South Florida walk or icy sidewalks up north, slippery conditions can lead to slips and falls for your pups. Take it slow and keep an eye on their paws!

 Cat Parents, Lock Up Those Chemicals: Antifreeze is a silent, sweet-smelling danger for pets everywhere. Keep it far out of reach—and make sure any spills are cleaned up immediately.

 Bird Lovers, Warm Up Wisely: Smoky fires and propane heater exhaust can harm sensitive birds or exotic pets. Whether you’re lighting up the fireplace or heating up the patio, be mindful of their delicate respiratory systems.

From Southeast Florida’s heat to the northern chill, let’s keep our pets safe all year long. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, Kenco Home Inspections has got your back—no sweaters or antifreeze required!
