Puppy-Proof Your Home

Before bringing your new puppy home, you will need to "puppy proof" your house. Puppies are like just babies and they will put everything in their mouths!

Here are some easy to follow tips to help you get your home ready for the new arrival!

Put all shoes or other items you typically leave laying around up: Puppies do not know their limits and do not understand what is right and wrong when they first arrive to their new home. So, you will want to make sure any items the puppy could chew are out of reach!

Make sure all poisonous household items are securely stored: These items can be deadly to your puppy. As your new puppy grows, he will be able to explore higher places and be tempted to jump up on shelves, so make sure even those are out of his reach.

Dangling Cords: Make sure you do not have nay dangling electric cords any where the puppy can view or reach. These things become toys for a new puppy, and you do not want to take the chance of him being electrocuted.
