Dog Days of Summer, Pet-friendly Apartment Shopping

​Apartment shopping can be a brutal task during the dog days of summer if you don’t know where and what to look for in a pet and people-pleasing community.

The dog days of summer is that time when the temperatures soar. The Romans labeled this hot summer period after Sirius, the Dog Star, that is the brightest of stars in the Canis Major (Large Dog) constellation. Since Sirius was bright and located near the sun, it was believed to be responsible for causing hot weather.

In the 1800’s, temperatures could be so brutal in the summer that it was considered a time when dogs grew mad, other animals became weak, and humans would suffer from fevers and hysterics. The dog days of summer can still cause hysterics of sorts when looking for a new home for you and your pet.

A few things to consider when looking for a new pet-friendly apartment.

1. What types of animals are allowed to live in the apartment community?
2. What are the stipulations on size and number of animals that can reside in the apartment?
3. Where can I walk my dog?
4. What type of amenities does the complex offer?
