Known for their sociable and affectionate nature, a Havanese puppy will undoubtedly light up your life. However, to ensure their safety and your peace of mind, it’s crucial to puppy-proof your home. Here are some tips to make your home safe for your new Havanese pup.
Securing Small Spaces
Start by blocking off small spaces where a curious Havanese might wriggle into and get stuck, such as behind appliances or under furniture. Baby gates or pet barriers can be your best friends here.
Managing Chewing Habits
Like all puppies, Havaneses love to chew, and their small size allows them to pick up tiny objects. Be sure to keep small, swallowable items out of their reach. This includes children’s toys, loose change, and small batteries. Also, remember to provide them with plenty of safe chew toys to satisfy their teething needs.
Electrical and Cord Safety
Electrical cords are fascinating to Havanese puppies, but they pose a significant risk. Conceal cords with cord protectors or hide them behind furniture. Also, consider unplugging and storing away electrical items when they’re not in use.
Creating a Safe Outdoor Space
If you have a yard, ensure it’s securely fenced. Havanese pups can be surprisingly speedy, and they may try to chase after birds or squirrels. Also, remove any toxic plants as these pups are known to be adventurous eaters.
By following these tips, you’ll make your home a secure playground for your new Havanese puppy. And if you’re looking to adopt a Havanese puppy, then give Family Puppies a call today at 574-354-2428.
