Whether a newcomer comes or you have your passion at home today. One thing is for sure, adjusting to your new dog or pet can be fun, and it takes a lot of work to make sure your home is pet friendly.
The most important thing to remember when preparing your home for the new arrival is that just like a child, he/she needs lots of cuddles, attention and definitely lots of wet kisses!
To ensure the pet's safety, purchase a portable pop-up dog crate that provides comfort and security.
Shall we get started?
1. Commodities - The most considered pet safety requirement of all!
The first thing to consider is the yard and garden. First, check fences and gates to be sure there are no holes large enough for the pet to get its head stuck in.
Make sure your litter and/or trash cans can be knocked over, as a small puppy has a chance to eat things it shouldn't. Also, make sure you stop using pesticides on your lawn and garden.
If possible, try to remove all chemicals and/or other harmful products from the newcomer's reach.
Let's start with our tried and true list of hazards. Our #1 hazard on this list is: [utensils.]
Yes, utilitarian items; common everyday items in and around your home. Sadly, consuming over-the-counter medications is the most common reason pet owners call the Animal Poison Control Center (APCC).
Review this list and please check it twice.
Acetaminophen Cancer drugs Antidepressants.
Antifreeze/coolants Bleach Cocoa mulch
Cold and flu remedies Compost Detergents
Diet pills Disinfectants Drain cleaners
Fabric softeners Fertilizers Flea and tick repellents
Fly bait Gasoline Ibuprofen and aspirin
Insecticides Lead lighter Liquid
Liquid potpourri Mothballs Oil
Oven cleaners Sprays Paint thinners Pesticides
Rodent baits Tobacco products Vitamins
2. Areas in your home and outdoors for pet safety near swimming pools.
If your pet is older, consider taking him or her to your local veterinarian at least twice a year. This will allow your veterinarian to thoroughly examine your dog and determine its health status.
Secondly, it is very important to pay attention to the areas listed below. If you are not careful, your pet will somehow find a way to these hidden, lurking dangers.
Even a remote control can lead to a dangerous event.
Make sure all electrical and cable wires are either routed in a place where your dog will not be, or hide them under rugs. Exposed wires can be dangerous from chewing and gnawing.
Like a small toddler, your dog will explore everything in your home, including items on the carpet and around the couch.
Balconies
Doorways
Fireplaces/chimneys
Gates
Windows
Swimming pool fence
For example, if you have an open basement, stairs to the second floor, or uneven terrain in your home. First, try installing a dog safety gate or using a baby gate to limit the dog's run so it does not come to harm.
In comparison, both toddlers and puppies are unaware of the danger and do not know that they could fall down a flight of stairs and hurt themselves.
3. Safety for dogs during the vacations!
If it's possible, a few extra steps in slowly watching your home can save you a visit to your local vet.
New Year's Day - balloons, confetti, noisemakers.
Valentine's Day - flowers, boxes of chocolate, candy
Easter - fake grass, spring onions, plastic egg shells July 4 - fireworks
Halloween - candles, candy
Thanksgiving - turkey bones, hot jars
Christmas - Christmas tree, fairy lights, tree water, decorative hooks, tinsel, styrofoam
4. Take a close look at these dog safety tips.
What types of dog emergency safety tips warrant an immediate visit?
In most cases, installing a dog safety gate could prove vital. If you are erecting social barriers in and around your home. Make sure you do not just locate hidden areas where your pet might roam.
Do not be too alarmed when I tell you to watch out for the following emergencies.
Each of these simple cases requires immediate emergency care.
Abnormal or difficult breathing and certainly no breathing.
Loss of consciousness or even collapse.
Shock: rapid pulse, weak, low body temperature.

Any burns or gaping wounds
Seizures
Severe, repeated diarrhea or vomiting
Depression, lethargy, bumping into objects and weakness

Please note: If possible, you should inform the nursing facility of your emergency so they can better prepare for your arrival. Your ability to calmly communicate the exact problem will help alleviate your beloved pets' concerns.
5. A dog safety leash can help keep your dog safe!
Did you know that wild herbs and plants are not suitable for consumption in most cases?
Please also note that not all leafy greens are suitable for consumption. To be safe, take a closer look at home and make sure some of these plants are out of sight.
