How to Pet-Proof Your Home

When a pet becomes a part of the family, some things are bound to change. Regardless of their age when you adopt them, it’s your responsibility as the owner to ensure your home is adequately equipped for a pet to live there. Here are the most important things for pet-proofing.

Fence

If your home isn’t fenced, that is the first thing you need to do before getting a pet. This will prevent your new furry friend from running onto the street or into a neighbor’s yard where they can get hurt or cause damage.

Make Your Home Clutter-Free

Much like little kids, pets can be curious. Make sure to keep all the clutter away from reach, whether it’s something that’s valuable to you or something the pet can swallow and get hurt.

Balcony

You can easily neglect it, but if you have a balcony, it’s crucial to make sure it’s safe and secure for your pet.
