Bringing home a new pet can be a very exciting adventure. However, this comes with a few preparations, and you must always keep safety in mind. Puppies are like children, only smaller and often more adventurous! Make sure that your home is a safe environment for your new pet to grow, by puppy-proofing your home.
Ensure off boundary areas. You may want to consider keeping your new pet in a limited area of the house in order to better supervise them, at least for the first week. Baby gates are a great tool in creating boundaries. Once your pup has arrived, keep a watchful eye - some puppies may jump or climb over them!
Spray your furniture with a bitter spray to prevent chewing. Your veterinarian or pet supply store should carry a product created for this purpose. Some places you may want to spray are: chair and table legs, rugs, baby gates, or any other house-hold items that your pup may chew on.
Provide toys to occupy your new dog. By giving your puppy objects that are okay to chew on, they will be less likely to chew up your things. This will also help to distinguish between chew toys and not-chew-toys (such as your shoes), at an early age. Make sure that you remove these toys once they become damaged, or small enough to swallow.
Lock away (or otherwise secure) cleaning products, food, personal items, medications, children's toys, office supplies, important documents, cash or coins, trash, and other potentially hazardous items far away from your puppy's reach. You may also want to ensure that your new friend cannot enter your shed, garage, or any other place in the home where a variety of unsafe items are kept.
Keep small pets and house plants away from puppy areas. Many house plants can be toxic to your pup. Additionally, house plants may be confusing for the puppy in potty training.
Phone cords, electrical wires, and computer cables may seem like something chewable to your pup. Make sure to keep these things out of reach, as well as drawstrings to blinds. Additionally, watch out for heavy items - such as lamps - with hanging cords that your dog may chew on. These pose an additional threat, as your pup may pull these heavy items off of a surface, and risk hurting themselves.
You should also consider your outdoor puppy play areas. If you have a fenced in yard - make sure it is secure and safe of toxic outdoor plants. If you walk your new puppy, make sure that the collar or harness fits snug, so that they can not escape it. Keep your puppy away from ponds, lakes, canals, pools, or other bodies of water where they could fall in and drown. If at all possible, do not use fertilizers, pesticides, or other harmful chemicals in outdoor play areas. If needed, allow at least 48 hours to pass before letting your pup play in the treated area. Or, consider environmental & pet friendly alternatives. When taking your pup out for a walk at night, bring a flash light and watch out for small critters that your puppy may want to chase. In Florida, California, and Australia, you especially must watch out for Cane toads, as they are toxic and
