Before bringing a new puppy home, secure electrical cords, toxic plants, and small objects. Use baby gates to block off hazardous areas.
Store cleaning supplies, medications, and chemicals out of reach. Keep trash cans covered and secure cabinets with child-proof latches.
Remove choking hazards like rubber bands, coins, and small toys. Keep shoes and clothing off the floor to prevent chewing.
Provide safe chew toys to redirect your puppy's chewing behavior. Consider crate training to keep your puppy contained when unsupervised.
Check for any small spaces where your puppy could get stuck or escape. Use door stoppers to prevent doors from closing on your puppy.
Puppy-proofing your home is essential to keep your new furry friend safe and prevent accidents. Regularly reassess your home for potential hazards.
