Essential Feng Shui Tips: Pets

Feng Shui Definitions

When loved and well cared for, pets are natural batteries of lively Ch’i. As is always the case in Feng Shui, the key to success is care. Treat your pets with love and dignity, and they will “spark” your life.

• Make sure indoor pets have their own special place in your home. Dogs and cats need a bed, rug, or mat that’s specifically theirs. Smaller animals need their own cages or tanks that give them plenty of room to live happy, healthful lives.
• Keep pet homes fresh and clean to assure the health and vitality of your animals, as well as the quality of Ch’i flowing through your home. Don’t allow anyone—child or adult—to abuse or neglect a pet, and pay close attention to the well-being of pets living in children’s rooms.
• If your pets live outdoors, they also need clean, dry homes and places to exercise. Dog runs and horse stables need to be large and cleared of manure every day.
• The best remedy for cat and rabbit litter boxes is to keep them extra clean. Keep them hooded and out of the way in garages, large bathrooms, or basements.
