Welcoming a pet into your home is exciting, but safety comes first! Here’s how to create a secure environment:

 
🛋️ Living Areas:

• Remove small objects: Prevent choking hazards.

• Secure wires: Use covers to avoid chewing and electric shocks.

• Anchor furniture: Prevent tipping if pets climb or play nearby.

 

🌿 Plants:

• Avoid toxic varieties: Lilies, aloe, and snake plants can be dangerous.

• Elevate them: Keep plants out of reach or choose pet-friendly options.

 

🍽️ Kitchen/Bathroom:

• Lock cabinets: Secure cleaning products and medications.

• Protect trash cans: Use pet-proof lids to prevent scavenging.

• Close toilet lids: Stop pets from drinking or falling in.

 

🔌 Electronics & Appliances:

• Hide gadgets: Keep remotes and batteries out of reach.

• Check appliances: Ensure no pets are inside before use.

 

🏡 Create Safe Zones:

Designate a pet-friendly area with their bed, toys, and water. Use baby gates to block off restricted rooms.
