About this project
What This Site Does
DIY Pet Furniture Safety Checker is a focused, independent web utility at diy-pet-furniture-safety-checker.hub2.day that helps you quickly assess whether a homemade pet furniture plan may have safety issues. You describe your project — materials, dimensions, fasteners, and the type of animal it is for — and the checker flags common concerns such as toxic or splinter-prone materials, structural instability, entrapment gaps, and small-part choking hazards.
Who It Is For
This tool is built for pet owners, hobbyist DIY builders, and small pet businesses who design and build beds, ramps, towers, enclosures, or other furniture at home. Whether you are building a cat tree from reclaimed wood or a rabbit run from PVC pipe, the checker gives you a structured way to think through safety before you start cutting.
Why a Focused Checker Helps
General building guides rarely address the specific risks that pets face — chewing, climbing, scratching, and the way animals interact with structures differently than people do. This site keeps the scope narrow so the feedback is practical and relevant to the animals you are building for, without trying to replace professional veterinary or engineering judgment.
Limitations
The checker provides informational guidance only. It cannot account for every variable in your specific build or animal. Always verify safety decisions with appropriate professionals and test finished furniture carefully before allowing animals to use it.
