Step 1
Keep all prescription and non-prescription drugs out of the reach of your puppy. Puppies can and will chew and eat the bottle along with the medication inside. This includes vitamins, minerals and natural supplements.
-
Step 2
Unplug anything electrical when you are not using it. Puppies like to chew and wires are no exception.
-
Step 3
Keep all household cleaners out of a puppy’s reach. Keep them in a locked cabinet. This includes pesticides. If you use any type of insect trap or repellant keep it out of the reach of your puppy.

Step 4
Keep houseplants away from your puppy. Some plants such as Poinsettias are poisonous to puppies and dogs.

Step 5
Keep the gate to your pool closed and locked. If there is no fence around your pool, keep a close eye on your puppy. Puppies can drown.

Step 6
Keep your puppy indoors while using a lawn mower, weed whacker, hedge trimmer, chain saw and any other dangerous power tools.

on 10/2/2009 Excellent advice on how to make your house safe for a puppy. We had a similar experience when a friend brought her small dog to our house. A young one would be in even more danger there. 5*
