we have 2 dogs and 1 cat now and yes, we allow them to enter and play inside the house. they know its time to get inside if they see my mother-in-law going inside the house and they would also go out when she goes out. do you allow pets inside your homes? is it okay to other members of your household to let them in? or you prefer that they just stay outside or inside their cages?

Yes, for sure, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and they are inside everyday. They all get along. They love it inside, they are like part of the family, and I like them inside too. The house gets vacuumed everyday, so its not an issue about cleaniness, and I would never put them in a cage, thats so cruel, and whats the point if they are not interacting with you.

My cats (and dog when I had one) stay indoors most of the time. There are a lot of wild animals like raccoons, foxes and poisonous snakes that come through my yard that I don't want hurting my pets.

We have several cats and one dog. All most all of our cats are indoor only cats. We have one that goes in and out but the rest never leave the inside. Our dog goes out on her leed or on a leash but otherwise she is in the house as well. I could not imagine having my pets be outside only or in cages. They are part of my family and I would want them in with us. What good is having a pet if they can't be cuddled or petted?

Yes, I usually allow my dogs enter my house to play with me, but not in a long time, maybe only one hour, after that I will let them play outside. Well... so far my wallet, my slippers, shoes are the victims -lol- so yupe I have to take care those dogs if I let them in, or keep away from them first.

I have three dogs. Two german shepards mix and a brittany spaniel. The are apart of our family. Our dogs are inside dogs. They spend time outside throughout the day but for the most part the are inside.

I have five dogs and they are always in the house. They only go outside to go to the bathroom or to play. I could never make my dogs stay outside,thats just the way I am. Nobody here has a problem with them being in the house. Yes, my dogs are very spoiled.

NO I have 3 cats and to bring a dog in my house would be terrible for my little sweeties. And I dont like the smell of a dog either. So the answer to your question is a big no I would let any other animals in my house.

Our dogs stay in the house all the time. We do have a kennel in the backyard for them. But when the weather gets warm they stay inside. On a nice day, I will let them out in the kennel for a few hours and then we go out for our walks. They are mainly house dogs. We wouldn't have it any other way. Sometimes we have to put Tara in her crate when company comes as she loves to jump on people. After they greet Kai, then we will let her out of her crate.

Our cats and dogs come in and out of the house as they please and they all sleep indoors. It is too cold and damp here in the winter to make them stay outside. I don't make them stay out in the summer, either, although they like to keep their own hours.
