Common Indoor Concerns:
Some common toxins in the house may be obvious to fur parents, such as household cleaners. These products are better kept in cabinets above the level of what a dog can reach on their hind legs, or if they must be put down low baby safety locks are recommened. It only takes a quick trip to another room for a puppy to find a toxic chew toy. Puppies are much like human babies in their curiosity to discover their world. And you will soon find yourself wondering if that sweet little fur ball you adopted is more closely related to Lassie or Houdini.
So you have put up all the chemical products in your home. Now what? As ominous as it may sound your home is lurking full of possible hazards for your new puppy. That used soda can on your coffee table can pose a hazard for mouth cuts or stomach lacerations and that couch pillow may be fun to tear up and scatter around the living room like snow, it can also quickly turn into an impaction in your dogs gut resulting in thousands of dollars in emergency vet fees and costly surgeries. While it may be impossible to fully doggy proof your house from Rover's Risky Room Rampage there are more easy solutions than turning your home into Fort Knox. This is why Lovely Little Labradoodles recommends crate training for all new puppies. This method not only helps solidify proper potty training techniques, but it also keeps your pet safe when not supervised.
