I thought this was an interesting idea - keeping your pets in mind when you are decorating. I didn’t know there was a book dedicated to this subject.

I have not read this yet, but thought some of you might be interested.

Here is the review from Amazon.com:

Book Description
A stylish, informative interior design guide that combines practical and aesthetic solutions for people who want to create an exceptional home for themselves and their pets-now in paperback. Animal House Style is the first decorating book to offer practical advice for pet owners on how to select high-performance furnishings for maximum human, canine, feline, and other animal comfort. Most important, it features what steps can be taken to keep your pet-friendly interiors looking their best, and other vital information rarely found in design magazines, such as which tools to use for cleaning, what kinds of paint to apply, what fabrics are best for upholstery, as well as a section on pet safety.
