Safe and Sound Puppies: A Mini Guide to Dog-Proofing Your Home

by Duane Berkey March 27, 2022 496 0 Comment

 

Are you trying to make your home safe for a new puppy to live in?

It’s exciting to invite a new puppy into your home but it can also be challenging. Since puppies love to chew things, they can do a lot of damage if you don’t take the right steps to protect your home. It’s also possible to hurt your puppy if you don’t clear your living space of dangerous objects.

If you want to find out about the best dog proofing strategies for your home, read on and we’ll tell you what you need to know.

Dog Proofing Your Kitchen

You should first make sure that your trash is inaccessible. When your dog gets into the trash, it will spread waste all over your house.

On top of this, it’s possible that your puppy will eat something that will be harmful. This is why you should dog-proof trash cans by keeping them closed inside of closets or cupboards.

If you have a larger breed of dog that can reach your counters, you should consider taking action to keep it from climbing on them. If you have no way to keep your dog off of your counters when you’re not around, consider installing a simple gate at the entrance to your kitchen to keep your dog out.

Dog Proofing Your Laundry Room and Bathroom

Your puppy can wreak havoc in the bathroom if you don’t watch closely. You should always have a closable lid on your wastebasket to keep it from getting into what’s inside.

You should also keep your toilet bowl lid closed. Consider offering your pet a drinking alternative by keeping a water bowl on your bathroom floor.

Pet Proofing Your Living Room

There are many potential dangers in your living room. You should practice pet safety by moving any toxic plants away from the reach of your animals. If you don’t know what plants are toxic to dogs, do your research before adopting a new pet.

It’s also important to keep electrical cords and devices out of the way. Since puppies love to chew, it can be dangerous to leave your animal alone in your living room.

Consider moving anything that’s valuable or breakable away from where your puppy can get to them. It also can’t hurt to keep your house tidy so that there are no objects lying around that your puppy will want to chew.

Install a Pet Door in Your House

If you don’t yet have a pet door in your house, you should consider getting one. Dog doors will give your pets the choice to come and leave your house when they wish. Once your puppy is housebroken, it, therefore, won’t need you to open the door to let it outside.

Keep Your Puppy Safe and Happy

Even though you’ll need to start dog proofing your house before adopting a puppy, it’s easy to do. Remember to keep all of your trash bins covered. Remove dangerous items from your home, and consider installing a pet door.
