Sharing your home with pets can bring its own set of window covering challenges, from claws to curious noses. Below you’ll find pet friendly blinds and shutters, including options built to resist scratching and stop safely if something, or someone, gets in the way.
Santa Fe’s motorised shutters include a smart feature that stops the louvres when an obstruction is detected, keeping curious paws safe. Motorised Thermacell blinds work in a similar way, with an auto brake feature that stops the shade if it encounters an obstruction. If you’re looking for pet proof blinds, these obstruction-sensing features are the closest match in our range.
A cordless option built for busy households
SmartDrape is designed with families and pets in mind, featuring a cordless design that’s safe for children and pets, with vanes sturdy enough to let kids and pets walk straight through. Unlike most curtains, the vanes are also machine washable, making SmartDrape one of the more practical blind options if your dog likes to explore and bound through the house. Check out our range of child friendly window treatments for further inspiration on keeping your home safe and stylish.
A more scratch-resistant option for cats
Fauxwood Venetian Blinds have a durable finish that helps resists scratches, fading and everyday wear, along with a moisture resistant, easy to maintain design. If a cat that likes to scratch is your main concern, this is one of the more practical choices in our range among cat proof blinds, though no finish is completely immune to persistent clawing.
Matching the right option to your pets
If jamming and cords are the main worry, our motorised shutters and blinds address both directly. If everyday wear from claws or paws is more the issue, Fauxwood Venetian Blinds and SmartDrape are the more durable choices in our range. Our third-party safety certification, Best for Kids from the US Window Covering Safety Council, applies to cordless Venetian Blinds and though it is scoped to children, the features described are still relevant to a pet-owning household.
