Balcony Safety for Cats and Dogs

A home-safety checklist for balconies, windows, furniture placement and supervised outdoor access.
QUICK ANSWER

A home-safety checklist for balconies, windows, furniture placement and supervised outdoor access.

Balconies can create serious fall and escape risks for pets. Do not assume height alone will stop a curious animal.

Check railings and gaps

Look for openings a pet could squeeze through, climb or become trapped in.

Move climbable furniture

Chairs, storage boxes and tables can create access to railings.

Supervise access

Do not leave pets unattended on an unsecured balcony.

Check windows too

Screens should be secure and appropriate for the pet and window type.

For indoor activity, browse Toys & Enrichment.
