Your new pup is very smart. By puppy-proofing your home, you can help your new pup avoid accidents and other safety concerns—and promote a fun puppyhood of safe exploration and playtime.
Some people foods to avoid include: chocolates, coffee, sugar-free gums and mints (or any food or drink containing the artificial sweetener xylitol), grapes, raisins, onions, and yeast dough.
It’s best to check with your veterinarian prior to offering any people food or table scraps.
Things we throw away, especially in the kitchen and bathroom, can be very interesting, and dangerous, to a curious puppy. Use garbage cans with lids that close securely or enclose garbage cans in a cabinet or closet.
Check their toys often for missing or loose pieces, holes where stuffing could be pulled out, and loose or unraveling strings.
Electrical cords are not chew toys! Your puppy can be seriously injured if they chew on a cord that is plugged in.
Place houseplants out of your puppy’s reach. Check with your veterinarian if you’re not sure which plants are safe for pets.
Until you feel confident your puppy can stay out of trouble when unattended, limit their ability to roam the house by keeping them in their crate or confined to a safe area or room.
If you have a pool and you want your puppy to try swimming, always provide supervision.
