Dog-Proof Your Home
Whether your new friend is a puppy or adult dog, here are important tips to help keep him out of harm’s way:
- Keep household cleaners and chemicals out of his reach.
- Restrict access to plants that are dangerous to dogs: poinsettias, azaleas, rhododendrons, dumb cane, Japanese yew, oleander and English ivy, to name a few.
- Store breakable items safely out of the way.
- Hide or cover electrical cords so he won’t chew on them.
- Safely store antifreeze, engine oil, laundry detergents and lawn chemicals.
- Keep kids’ toys off the floor, since some parts may be small enough for your puppy or dog to swallow.
- Use a cover and/or protective fencing if you have a pool or a hot tub.
