Our homes are not just our castles; they are our pets' playgrounds, their safe havens, their little corners of the world.
1. Toys, Toys Everywhere
The first sign of a pet-centric home? A landscape littered with squeaky toys, doggie bones, and half-chewed tennis balls. If your living room resembles a dog toy store that's been hit by a tornado, congratulations! You're well on your way to achieving pet-centric living.

3. Cozy Blankets That Aren't Yours
Remember when you bought that cozy blanket for those cold winter nights? Well, it's not yours anymore. If your pooch has claimed it as their personal snugly retreat, you're definitely living in a pet-centric home.
