Puppies are a lot like children?"they can get into unexpected trouble if their surroundings aren't carefully managed.
Here's a basic checklist to ensure your puppy's safety:
1. Cupboard Safety: Puppies can easily open loose cupboard doors. Use cupboard door protectors or secure doors with duct tape. Ensure low cupboards are inaccessible or free from hazardous items.
2. Cord Management: Puppies love to chew on cords. Keep light cords, TV cables, and computer wires hidden behind heavy furniture or enclosed within barriers to prevent accidents.
3. Counter Control: Large-breed puppies can reach countertops. Keep items pushed back or remove valuable objects like remote controls to avoid them being dragged off and chewed.
4. Clothing Hazards: Clothing can be deadly. Puppies might ingest socks or chew on rugs, leading to intestinal blockages. Prevent access to socks and towels, offering dog toys as a substitute.
5. Poisonous Plants: Some common houseplants are toxic to dogs. Identify and remove any poisonous plants from areas your puppy can access. A quick online search can help you identify dangerous plants.
6. Avoid Household Poisons: Never use insect or rodent poisons in areas your puppy can access. Even small amounts can be harmful if ingested.
7. Safe Toys: Choose dog-specific toys. Avoid toys from children's toy boxes and items with small parts that can be swallowed. Be cautious with bones; choose large "knucklebones" to avoid sharp shards.
8. Dangers of Sticks: While sticks are popular for fetching, they can be dangerous. Running with sticks could cause throat injuries or harm to others. Use safe dog toys for retrieving instead.
9. Exercise Essentials: Regular exercise helps calm a hyperactive puppy. Avoid overexertion, but enjoy walks to teach basic manners like sitting at street corners and not barking at strangers. Use a leash for safety. Afterward, consider off-leash play in a dog park or swimming in a pond to burn off energy. The guideline for walking distance is "no longer than 20 minutes" before six months of age.
10. Regular Vet Checks: Ensure your puppy has regular vet visits for immunizations, a balanced diet, and proper exercise. A secure, puppy-friendly environment is crucial for their well-being.
Bring up your puppy with care and enjoy a joyful journey of pet ownership!
