A wriggling bundle of joy explodes into your home. Watch out, it's your new puppy, and she is in everything around them interested. Unfortunately, what she wants to smell, eat or chew, may not result in the safest things for them, and even cause serious injury or death. Before your new puppy comes at the front door, you must check to your home and take some simple steps to a catastrophe.
Prepare your home for your new puppy is very similar to baby proofing a house. LookYour home in puppies level. What will hit your dog in a position to? What she could jump up and hurt yourself? Which plants you have at puppy level? Can she pull everything down on your head? Go room to room and make note of the following potential hazards:
1) steps. Some puppies are not very coordinated and could fall down the stairs easily. Invest in dog gates, child gates, or even to limit the puppy access to the stairwells to.
2) ElectricalCords. Dogs explore their world with their mouths instead of their hands. Puppies will chew on all the interesting thing on the ground, including a live electric cable, the risk of electric shock.
3) Furniture. Your puppy will chew on your furniture, but you may prevent that with Bitter Apple spray, or behavioral training. If your dog eats enough of the wood from the furniture, it always risks intestinal injuries by splinters.
4) household cleaners. Just like youwould hold toxic cleaning products out of the reach of a toddler, you should do the same for a puppy.
5) Try your dog when they monitor outside. Puppies do not know enough to eat to bite a snake or a toad, and to fear poisoned. Keep an eye on your dog, so they do not run away with the car, or even be taken directly stolen from your garden. The puppies are trusting little creatures and could be killed by a wandering older dog or a coyote.
6)Leave your dog alone in a car in warm weather. Heat builds up in a car very fast, opening with a window. In some states it is against the law to leave a dog in the car during the warmer months.
7) Keep your dog in a crate or a harness, a safety belt fastened in the car on the road. A small dog can be a projectile during even a minor accident resulting in serious injury or death.
8) Automobile liquids are deadly for dogs. Gasoline, motorOil and antifreeze can kill your dog.
9) puppies like to eat stretchy things that smell like their people, like socks, stockings, shoelaces and hair ornaments. All these things can hurt your puppy, intestinal tract, and can be a trip to the emergency-call veterinarians.
10) Keep human medicines and vitamins away from your dog. What is good for you, can not be good for your puppy.
A little prevention will save you and your dog a lot of trouble later. With commonSense and a sharp eye, you can stop a potential threat to puppies before it happens.
