“IF POUPAY DOESN’T LIKE THE APARTMENT, I’M NOT BUYING IT!”

DOGS – THE NEW REAL ESTATE EXPERTS: “WE DON’T BUY UNLESS POUPAY APPROVES!”

Once upon a time, there were dog owners looking for an apartment. But not just any apartment. They were searching for a home that would please not only them but also their four-legged “experts.” Here’s how it looked:

🐶 POUPAY, THE HIGH-STANDARDS FRENCH BULLDOG

When Martina decided to sell her luxurious apartment in Trocadéro, she was ready to consider everything—including the opinion of Poupay, her 5-year-old French Bulldog. Why? Because Poupay wasn’t just a dog; he was a true elite real estate critic. If he didn’t like the new home, the deal was off.

“IF POUPAY SAYS ‘NO,’ I SAY ‘NO’!”

Let’s be honest—it’s tough being a homeowner when your pet sets the rules. But, like it or not, this is the new reality!

🏡 WHAT DO DOGS WANT?

Dogs now demand more than just comfy beds and tasty treats. They want south-facing balconies, spacious terraces, and even their own rooms. Yes, some dogs already have their own private space where they can nap or chew on bones without disturbance.

So forget about tucking your dog into a corner. They want a separate bedroom with a park view. At the very least.

🐾 DOGS – THE MOST DEMANDING REAL ESTATE BUYERS

Jean Bagri, a real estate agent specializing in dog-friendly properties, shared some insights. He often hears requests from dog owners who don’t want their pets overheating on a “too sunny” balcony. Their requirements?

“Not too hot, not too cold, and preferably with a park view.”

But that’s not all! If the apartment has underfloor heating, dog owners start worrying that it might affect their furry friends’ blood circulation.

“UNDERFLOOR HEATING MAY DISRUPT A DOG’S BLOOD CIRCULATION!”

So remember—when buying an apartment, it’s not just about you. Think about your dog’s paws, too!

🐕 HOW DOGS HELP DECIDE THE FATE OF A DEAL

For Charlotte and David, their Shiba Inu, Bonbon, was the real decision-maker. If Bonbon didn’t approve of an apartment, they wouldn’t even consider buying it. Why? Because his daily routine includes watching the street from a balcony. If the new home couldn’t offer him the right view, he’d be… disappointed.

“IF BONBON SAYS ‘NO,’ THE DEAL IS OFF!”

That’s the reality of pet ownership. But interestingly, dog owners claim their four-legged companions are like children. And if that’s the case, how can you ignore them?

🐾 WHEN DOGS RAISE SAFETY CONCERNS

Safety is another major factor for dog owners. No “unfriendly” neighbors—only “dog lovers welcome”! Ideally, the apartment should also have security cameras, just in case someone tries to steal their beloved pet.

“DOG SAFETY IS OUR SAFETY!”

So if you’re not ready to install a surveillance system, don’t even think about selling to a dog owner!

💰 CONCLUSION: WHO’S REALLY CHOOSING WHOM?

Who would have thought that one day, the real estate market would be controlled by… dogs? If you’re looking to buy or sell an apartment, don’t forget to consider your furry friend’s opinion. After all, in today’s world, they often decide where home will be.

Just like humans—only more demanding and with a wagging tail! 🐕
