Marie Kondo and More Pros Share Their Top 5 Pet Organization Tips
You might be tempted to go room-by-room or start in a specific location with the most considerable mess, but Kondo recommends gathering your pet’s supplies and sorting them by category or type. Categories can include food, toys, and accessories. Sorting by type—not location—helps you grasp what you have, how much of it you have, and whether you have multiples in various spots of the home. When you see everything laid out in front of you, it helps you make informed decisions about keeping or letting go of items. Gathering all your pet’s stuff in one place can also help you see the bigger picture of what you buy—and how often you buy them. So, now is also an excellent time to create a list of the essentials or recurring purchases, says Jen Robin, founder, and CEO of Life in Jeneral. “Keep a running list of all of your pet’s supplies and update it as needed,” says Robin. “This will help you keep track of what you have and what you need to restock.”,If you’re anything like us, treating your pet to a new leash, fun bandana, a chew toy that screams [enter your dog’s name], or a restock of their absolute favorite snacks is just another typical Tuesday occurrence. As much as you may love to spoil your pet, all these items can quickly pile up—especially if you live in a small space. Before you panic-toss everything in a closet or ditch things on a whim, there are simple ways—aka no Martha Stewart-level skills required—to organize your pet’s belongings. We spoke with Marie Kondo, tidying expert and founder of KonMari by Marie Kondo, and other organizational experts to find out their top pet organizing tips.
