Bringing a puppy home is super exciting, but you need to make sure your space is safe for your little furball! Puppy-proofing your home is an important step that should happen right away. After all, curious pups love to explore, and we want to keep them out of trouble. Here are some tips to get you started.
First off, take a look at your floors. Puppies are all about chewing, and the last thing you want is for them to munch on a power cord or something dangerous. Tuck away those cords and consider using cord covers to keep them out of reach. Also, grab some baby gates to block off rooms or stairs that you want to keep off-limits for now.
Next, keep those tempting treats off the ground. If you have any household cleaning supplies, medications, or even some plants that might be toxic, put them away in cabinets or closets. Use childproof locks to keep those curious paws from getting into anything that could make them sick.
Don’t forget checking your furniture too! Puppies are going to jump, scratch, and even try to chew on things. Keep breakables out of their reach or put them away. And for those items you can’t move, consider using pet-safe covers or sprays. You’ll save some heartache and keep your home looking nice.
FEEDING SUPPLIES
Food bowl's and food supplies are one of the top must haves to get if you have a new puppy. And if they are still too little, you may need to find a puppy baby bottle and formula as well. U'i and Tito came to me at 6 weeks and we're still drinking from the bottle after being taken from their mom.
FOOD
Another essential for your puppy is food. There is a wide range of options available on the market. Depending on your preferences, you can choose from wet, dry, or even fresh foods. For newborn puppies, specialized formula is also available.
COLLAR AND LEASH
Another essential item for your puppy is a collar and leash. A harness can be beneficial as well. This will help you train your puppy to walk alongside you.Walking your puppy regularly not only strengthens your bond but also provides them with much-needed exercise and mental stimulation.
TOYS
Toys are absolutely essential for a puppy's well-being. They provide happiness by offering something to chew on during teething, boredom, or anxiety. This helps prevent them from damaging household items or personal belongings. Additionally, interactive toys encourage learning, exploration, and sensory engagement, stimulating their minds and fostering development.
BEDDING
A Cozy Bed for your new puppy is a necessity. Providing a comfortable bed for your new puppy is essential. It offers a safe space that they can recognize as their own. During their initial months, puppies tend to sleep a lot. Having their own snug dog bed, pillow, blanket, or even a crate will help them adjust to their new environment.
