PUPPY PROOFING HOUSE TIPS: CLEANING SUPPLIES
1. Not all improved pet cleaning products are healthy or safe for your puppy dog.
2. Put them safely up on the shelf in the laundry room, out of reach of both your dog and children.
3. Keep wet damp micro-fiber cloth used in cleaning windows in the washer to wash immediately after use.
4. Or use a basket or bin to load them neatly to wash after.
5. After washing and drying it, store the clean dry microfiber cloth into cabinets, baskets, or storage bins you're currently using.
6. Try as much as possible not to dump the laundry room with random dirty stuff like used party supplies or decor cleaning supplies, that your puppy or dog is going to munch on later on.
7. Don't cluster used chemical bottles in the laundry too, get rid of them or use these container bags to hold them together to be recycled later on.
PUPPY PROOFING HOUSE TIPS: KITCHEN
#1 A Dog-Proofed Trash Cans
1. Don't forget that one of the dogs' or even a new puppy's clever instinct is to sniff at almost anything.
2. That's why you'll need to naughtily beat down this habit of sniffing into the kitchen trash can at all cost!
3. Getting your trash can secured using tight-fitting lids, is a sure way to kick start a puppy proof kitchen.
