How to puppy-proof your home

Puppies are curious and love to explore, so it’s important you make sure that  your home’s are safe and secure before Welcoming a New Puppy. Here’s our checklist to help you prepare your home for your puppy.

 

Dangerous Substances

Store chemicals, cleaning products, medicines, and other toxic substances out of reach. If needed, use child locks on your cupboards. E-cigarette refills and screen wash are particularly harmful to dogs.

 

Toxic Houseplants

Many common houseplants are very dangerous for dogs and puppies, including lilies, aloe vera, ivy, dieffenbachia, caladium, pothos, zamioculcas, and cyclamen. It’s best to either keep all houseplants out of your puppy’s reach or double-check to ensure yours don’t pose a threat.

Hazards

Puppies can easily fall or get stuck while exploring. To keep them safe, use stair gates, keep windows and external doors closed, and secure any balconies. Also, before Welcoming a New Puppy ensure there are no spaces they can squeeze into and get stuck.

Small Objects

Puppies like to explore things with their mouths, so put away any small items they could chew or swallow. This includes children’s toys, drawing pins, plastic bags, and elastic bands. Also, hide anything else you wouldn’t want your puppy to chew, such as your shoes.

Electrical Cables and Sockets

Electrical cables are very tempting for puppies to chew on and they can also get tangled in them. Hide your cables using ties or covers, and shield plug sockets with covers.
