Whether you are a cat lover or a dog whisperer, having a furry friend in your home has its benefits. However, one thing that many pet owners dread is having to deal with all the fur and dander that occupies their living space.

If your pet sheds a great deal, you should know that there are a few ways you can tackle this issue. With this in mind, here are some tips for dealing with pets that shed a lot.

If you are sick of your cat crawling along your furniture and leaving tufts of fur all over the place, you may need to invest in cat trees. Cat trees are usually multi-level platforms that cats can climb on or play on. Generally, they are made of wood and other sturdy materials and are covered in heavy-duty carpet. Some have portions wrapped in sisal rope, to act as scratching posts as well as cat trees to climb and perch on.
