Before bringing a new puppy home, secure electrical cords, chemicals, and small objects. Use baby gates to block off hazardous areas.
Hide electrical cords behind furniture or use cord protectors. Keep food out of reach on countertops. Secure cabinets with cleaning supplies or food.
Store household cleaners, medications, and plants out of reach. Keep trash cans covered. Remove choking hazards like rubber bands and children's toys.
Check for small spaces where a puppy could get stuck. Remove toxic plants from your home. Consider crate training to keep your puppy safe when unsupervised.
Invest in sturdy toys and chews to keep your puppy entertained and prevent destructive behavior. Provide a designated area for your puppy to rest and sleep.
Puppy-proofing your home is essential to keep your new furry friend safe and happy. With some simple precautions, you can create a secure environment for your puppy to thrive.
