These days, we take our four-legged friends everywhere with us: on vacation, to run errands, and sometimes even to pet-friendly workplaces. It is safe to say that a lot of us even treat them just as we do our children. We would never dream of keeping them in a storage unit. US Storage Centers has strict rules against keeping any animal in a storage unit to avoid potential injury or harm to the animals or the other tenants. On the other hand, you do have a lot of options when it comes to storing items for your pets, which we openly welcome! No Pets, But Pet Supplies! Though pets themselves can’t be stored in a unit, storage space is a viable option to keep pet supplies. Kennels, collapsable dog runs, and other hygiene products for your pets take up a lot of space in the home but can easily be stored in a unit. Many pet lovers store toys and beds for their dogs, litter boxes (cleaned and without litter) for their cats, and pet-care books in their units. Any extra pet items that you can think of which are taking up space in your home are also viable options for pet supply storage. Remember not to keep any pet food in your unit, however. Any food, even pet food, can attract unwanted pests and vermin which can cause damage to your other storage items as well as put other tenants’ possessions in the same predicament. Other Potential Storage Items In addition to storing pet items, it is not at all unusual for situations to arise during the normal course of life events in which we end up with too much stuff to keep in our homes. In these situations, renting a storage unit is a perfect solution. We can safely store all of our extras while waiting out construction delays on new homes, or make room when our children come home for visits or return from college to live in our basements until they find their first jobs. There is a nearly endless list of items that are properly kept in storage units.
