Puppy Proofing The House

Puppy proofing your home is important because the same way that you would try to keep your newborn baby safe from things in your house, the same way you should treat your pet. Looking back at my first post, I mentioned household cleaners and products you can use to keep your house GREEN and the air healthy for your pets. Check that out because that relates to this post on how to keep your puppy from having health problems as they are delicate when they are born. Just like when a baby is growing teeth and will want something to chew so will a puppy and they will think cords are a chew toy so hide or put them away, or put a chewable tube on them. If there are low cabinets and drawers anywhere then use childproof latches which prevent them from opening up anything and going in to explore. Keep any products out of the way that can harm them if they were to get any in their mouth like shampoos, soaps, etc. Keep the toilet seat down and the garbage in the bathroom under the sink or get a shut tight lid one. Dogs are attracted to your scent and anything that smells like you so be sure to keep anything you do not want destroyed out of their reach like clothing, shoes, etc. Be sure to take a walk in every inch of your home and look out for any danger towards your puppy, put away small things that can be swallowed.
