So, you are thinking about getting a dog. Well, it is about time you brought a furry friend into your home. Dogs are loyal, loveable creatures that bring nothing but joy. Before you adopt, though, you might want to take the time to make your home pet-friendly. You see, dogs can get into as much trouble as children. They are on their best behavior when they are with their owners. But what happens when the family is not around? Well, dogs get in trouble. As the future owner of a mischief-making pooch, you must do your best to keep the home safe and secure. Keep on reading to find out what to do to avoid issues with your four-legged friend.
Keep your garbage cans covered
Dogs, in particular, are curious beings. They use their
sense of smell to discover the environment around them. A dog’s powerful smell
can lead them straight to the garbage can. Needless to say, they love digging
in the trash. Maybe your furry friend is looking for something to chow down on.
Or maybe they are looking for a way to grab your attention. Either way, it is
not good if your dog eats what is inside the garbage can. Your pooch’s stomach
can handle your leftovers, but not the same thing can be said about non-food
items. You would have to immediately take your pet to a dyrlege nittedal. If you do not want your best
friend to get sick, make sure all the garbage cans are covered.
Safely store medications, cleaners, and other chemicals
Do you have the tendency to keep meds or cleaning products
on the kitchen countertop? Your furry friend can easily get hold of this
dangerous stuff. Accidentally ingesting human medication or cleaning products
can be devastating for a dog. They could start to seize and tremble. If your
pooch suffers an accident, you would have to make frequent visits to a clinic
specializing in rehabilitering hund. What you need to
understand is that your pet depends on you for good health. You must protect
your family members from the dangers that they do not foresee. Store your
medicine, cleaners, and other dangerous chemicals in a storage box or in the
closet.
Install screens on your windows
During the summer, you have to open the windows to let the
fresh air in. Dogs are not like cats, but that does not mean that they do not
take advantage of any given opportunity to jump out the window. If your
four-legged friend pulls such a stunt, they will get a nasty injury as a result
of the fall. They could break their leg or, worse, die. Even if you take the
poor dog to the dyrlege, there may be nothing they can do.
Besides the fact that you should not encourage a behavior of this type, it is
recommended to install screens on all your windows. The wire mesh will
completely cover the opening of the window, preventing the pet from escaping
the building. Install window screens before you bring the dog into your home.
