  • ‌Puppy-Proofing: 25 Sneaky Home Hazards You Might Miss

‌Puppy-Proofing: 25 Sneaky Home Hazards You Might Miss

Dog Care Article

Hey there, future dog parent! Ready to turn your place into a fortress against those curious puppy teeth? Let’s chat about stuff you might totally overlook. (Seriously, pups are like tiny ninjas when it comes to finding trouble.)

  1. ‌Phone cords & chargers‌ – Ever notice how puppies think these are gourmet chew sticks? Tie ’em up or hide ’em.

  2. ‌Shoes by the door‌ – To Fido, your favorite sneakers = free teething toys. Toss ’em in a closet.

  3. Read moreA Comprehensive Guide to Dog Boarding for the Day

    ‌Houseplants‌ – Some, like lilies or aloe, are straight-up poisonous. Google your greenery!

  4. ‌Trash cans‌ – A buffet of “no-no’s” for pups. Get one with a lid that locks.

  5. ‌Loose buttons‌ – That throw pillow bling? Choking hazard. Snip ’em off.

  6. Read moreHow to Introduce Your New Dog to Your Resident Dog

    ‌Toilet bowl cleaner‌ – Licking the toilet rim? Gross and dangerous. Keep lids down!

  7. ‌Fridge magnets‌ – Tiny, shiny, and way too tempting. Stick ’em higher.

  8. ‌Couch springs‌ – Old sofas can have exposed metal. Block access with a blanket.

  9. ‌Batteries‌ – Remote controls left on the couch? Puppy kryptonite. Stash ’em up high.

  10. ‌Coffee tables‌ – Sharp corners + zoomies = ouch. Try corner guards.

  11. ‌Loose carpet edges‌ – Perfect for shredding. Tape ’em down or say goodbye to your security deposit.

  12. ‌Ant traps/poison‌ – Looks like snacks? Yikes. Use pet-safe alternatives.

  13. ‌Candles‌ – Wagging tails + open flames? Nope. Switch to flameless ones.

  14. ‌Medications‌ – Even ibuprofen dropped on the floor can wreck a pup’s tummy. Sweep daily.

  15. ‌Dryer sheets‌ – Smells like heaven, tastes like trouble. Keep laundry stuff locked away.

  16. ‌Rubber bands‌ – Stretchy fun until it’s stuck in their gut. Check under desks!

  17. ‌Fireplace tools‌ – Metal pokers are basically chew toys. Use a baby gate.

  18. ‌Kitchen grease‌ – Leftover bacon fat in the pan? Pancreatitis waiting to happen. Clean ASAP.

  19. ‌Dangling blind cords‌ – Strangulation risk. Wrap ’em up or cut ’em short.

  20. ‌Loose change‌ – Pennies = zinc poisoning. Check between couch cushions.

  21. ‌Essential oil diffusers‌ – Some oils (tea tree, eucalyptus) are toxic. Research before you diffuse!

  22. ‌Purses/backpacks‌ – Gum, mints, meds—pups will nose into everything. Hang bags on hooks.

  23. ‌Fabric softener pods‌ – Bright colors + squishy texture? Pup thinks it’s candy. Store high up.

  24. ‌Stuffed toy eyes‌ – Your kid’s teddy bear? Ripping those plastic bits off is way too fun. Supervise playtime.

  25. ‌TV remotes‌ – Buttons can pop out and become snack-sized dangers. Keep ’em on shelves.

Phew! Sounds like a lot, right? But trust me—when you see those floppy ears and waggy tail safe and happy, it’s so worth it. Got any weird puppy-proofing hacks? Share ’em below!
