KEEPING YOUR
PUPPY SAFE
Puppies are lively, curious, and they teethe.
This can lead them into serious trouble unless
you take preventive measures. It's practically
impossible to completely puppy-proof your
home against accidents, but for your puppy's
safety, here are some suggestions:
» Confine your puppy to a safe area inside and
keep doors and windows closed.
» Keep your puppy off balconies, upper
porches and high decks.
» Securely store hazardous items such as
cleaning supplies, paint, mothballs, insect
and rodent poisons, and antifreeze.
» Remove poisonous houseplants or place
them in hanging baskets out of your
puppy's reach.
» Keep toilet lids down. Toilet bowl cleansers
are harmful if swallowed.
» Unplug, remove or cover any electrical cords
in your puppy's confinement area.
» Keep small sewing supplies and hardware
items, such as buttons, needles, string, nails,
aluminum can tabs and other sharp objects,
out of your puppy's reach.
» Keep all plastic bags away from your puppy.
