Before your puppy arrives, you need to see the world from their level, literally. Spend one afternoon puppy-proofing to prevent expensive vet bills and ruined furniture.
The Electrical Sweep
Puppies love the texture of wires. Use plastic cord protectors or hide cables behind furniture. Unplug chargers when not in use.
The Balcony Lockdown
In Indian apartments, balcony railings are often wide enough for a small puppy to slip through. Install bird netting or bamboo chick mats up to a height of 3 feet.
The Forbidden Garden
Common household plants like Lilies, Aloe Vera, and Sago Palms are toxic to dogs. Move them to high shelves.
Kitchen & Bathroom Safety
Keep trash cans behind closed doors because onions, grapes, and chocolate are toxic. Keep bathroom doors shut to prevent your puppy from drinking soapy water or playing with toxic cleaners.
The Choke Check
Pick up kids' toys, coins, and hair ties. If it fits in a cardboard toilet paper roll, it is a choking hazard.
