How To Keep Pet Fish Safe When Introducing New Pets To The Home<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I am notorious for seeing a pair of eyes, a\ntail, a fin or a paw and finding myself wanting to carve out a space for\nwhatever little creature has caught my heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have always had my fish tanks and I would\nnever introduce a new family member without making sure that my other family\nmembers are safe and secure, first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So before you walk away from that shelter or try to talk yourself out of another little friend, let me give you some tips to help keep everyone safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips to Keep Fish Safe from\nCats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cats can be mischievous creatures, and can\nrender even the most elaborate cat-proofing setup null and void. However, since\nthey\u2019re so smart, it is possible to train them to leave your fish alone. Here\nare a few ideas to keep Kitty away from your fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Crinkly Aluminum<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s the sound or the texture,\nbut aluminum foil seems to ward off curious cats. I would recommend surrounding\nthe area around your fish tank with crinkled up foil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, the bubbles and lights of a fish tank\nwill attract their attention. If your tank resides on a shelf or table, this is\nan especially good deterrent. Once the cat leaps up to investigate, the\ncrunching of the foil will startle them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a safe way to teach Sylvester to leave\nyour fish alone. Just make sure not to have any priceless vases around. Cats do\ntend to jump when startled!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Double-Sided Tape<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I don’t recommend using glue traps to keep\ncats away. Not unless you want a hairless cat. Instead, use double sided tape\nand some cardboard for easy clean up. Lay the tape on top of the cardboard\naround the fish tank. You want to be sure to lay it in a spot where your cat is\nmost likely to sit or hop up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the cat tries to get close to the tank, the tape will get stuck to their paws. Cats have sensitive paws<\/a> since cats have a large number of nerve receptors in their paws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Secure Lid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve owned a cat, you know how much of a\nHoudini they can be. The moment they sense weakness they will go for the\nopening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why you will want to have a secure lid\nfor your aquarium that will stop any prying paws from going fishing. You don’t\nwant to cheap out on a flimsy lid. Take the time to test the lid for any signs\nof weakness or openings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Refrain from Physical\nPunishment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cats will avoid conditions that make them\nuncomfortable but you shouldn’t resort to yelling or physically punishing them.\nInstead of learning not to repeat behavior, your cat will learn to fear you and\nwill simply find other means to avoid you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust me, you don’t want to have to spend your time looking for a missing cat that refuses to come home. While there are great resources to help locate your missing pet<\/a> these days, it is best to avoid this and focus on making the area around the tank as uncomfortable as humanely possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips to Keep Fish Safe from\nDogs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now for man’s best friend, things are a bit\ndifferent. Unlike cats that like to climb, dogs tend to like the ground more.\nThis means your dog is not likely to hunt for your fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real problem is their clumsiness. Here’s a\nfew tips that I’ve learned about keeping my dogs and fish under one roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Clear the Path<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The biggest threat to your tank is going to be\nRover\u2019s clumsy, fun-loving behavior. If you’re like me and enjoy having large\ndogs barreling through the house, you will want to be sure that your tank is\nwell out of your dog’s path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I introduce\na dog to my home<\/a>, I usually take half an hour to watch them move around. I\nlike to look for area that might prove to be problematic. Most importantly, I\ncheck for how my dog dashes through a room. This could be right before going\nfor a walk, coming home or just preparing to play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the dog goes too close to my tank, I know I\nneed to move it – sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Keep the Tank Out of\nReach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While dogs are not much for climbing, if your tank is set at a height that they can reach, they might be drawn to the water. Dogs tend to like fresh and cool water<\/a>, which is also why they can be found drinking from the toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll want to move your tank to an area where your dog can’t climb or stretch to stick their snout into the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Enjoy Them All\nTogether<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A home should be just that: a home. It should\nnot be a battle ground of yelling or screaming. It is perfectly possible to\nlive together with all of your pets in peace if you practice these ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Keep Their Own Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Much like children, it can help to give\neveryone their own space. Pick a spot in your house for each animal to be their\nown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could secure a room for your fish tanks\nthat is unwelcoming for your cat and out of the way of your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would recommend keeping your fish tank in a\nseparate room that you could shut when you’re not home to supervise. You could\nalso invest in a kennel\nfor your dog<\/a> or a cat patio for your cat to help keep your animals separate\nbut safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, a lost animal<\/a> is not a stress you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Proper Training<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Again, since I cannot stress this enough,\nproper training will keep your house in order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By training<\/a>\nyour animals you will enforce the behavior you want and keep away the behavior\nthat is problematic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are unsure of how to go about training,\nI would recommend looking for a professional trainer to help. Just remember\nthat positive reinforcement and lots of practice usually makes perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Enrichment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Boredom negatively affects children, but did\nyou know it can also be a source of problems in your pets? When animals are\nbored, their naughtier sides come out and you will find yourself cleaning up\nthe mess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invest in toys and other enrichment items to\nkeep your pets occupied. If your cat is too busy pawing at its new toy to free\ntreats or your dog is obsessed with its new tug rope, your fish tank won’t seem\nas appealing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
