This Week on Houzz: Do You Let Your Pets Sleep in Your Bed?
Most pet owners say that they are more than just an animal – they're a family member. Though you love them, where do Houzzers draw the line?
We recently asked you if you let your pets sleep in your bed, and despite their taking up space and leaving fur about the place, it seems most of you love them enough to allow it. So, what sleeping arrangements do other Houzzers and their pets have? Here’s what we found out…
‘I’d love to have my pup and cats in bed, but my husband won’t allow it. (He doesn’t know about the cuddles after he goes to work though… sssshhh!)’ Hunkydory Home
‘I think the real question is whether they sleep on top of the bed or under the covers? My two cheeky cats sleep on the covers in the summer but like to come under the covers in the winter! The downside is I that I have to de-hair the bed everyday. I keep a special hand-held vacuum cleaner in the bedroom just for this job, but it’s worth it.’ pixiegeaves
‘Having OCD makes me a bit fussy about hair on my bed but I can’t resist my new pup. She sleeps in her bed at night but has a cuddle on my bed in the morning. That’s what vacuums are for!’ Lauren Smith
‘My cats are allowed to sleep on the bed, and the dog joins us in the morning.’ Jen Tindall
‘Guilty as charged… Just can’t resist my wee Beasteee, though he snores like an old steam train and insists on hogging two-thirds of the bed…’ Niki Markwick
‘I’d bashfully have to admit that yes, we do let our pup on the bed with us at home. He’s the first one in bed and the last one up! :D’ Studio M Interior Design
‘Our babies (cats) have their own beds in our bedroom, but sometimes they’ll want to join us when they’re cold.’ Adam Ash

‘No! I don’t mind cleaning up floors covered in my dog’s hair, but having it all over my bed would drive me crazy so she sleeps in her bed beside mine, that way we’re both happy.’ nudejude

‘What is the point of having animal companions if you’re fussy about hair? I love my cat and wouldn’t dream of stopping her going anywhere. She takes up half the bed but the point is – yes! I proudly say I would allow all my animals on the bed whenever they want, dog(s) or cat(s).’ AJ Interior Styling ltd
