The Preparations You Need To Make Before Bringing Home New Pet

When most people start to think about bringing
home a new pet, they think about all of the
things that the pet will need. If you are
getting a new bird, you will need bird perches
along with food and water dishes for the cage.
If it is a cat, you will need to think about
what you are going to do for a litter box and if
you are bringing home a new dog, one of the big
things is whether or not you will need a dog
poop composter. The problem is that most people
spend so much time getting ready to bring the
new pet home that they forget to prepare the
house for a new pet. Listed below are many of
the preparations you need to make if you are
getting ready for a new family member who has
four legs.

The first thing you need to do is make sure your
new pet will not have access to dangerous
products that you probably have around your
house. This includes thinks like house cleaners,
insecticides and anti-freeze. Do not just put
these items someplace you think is safe, put
them somewhere you absolutely know the new pet
would not be able to access. You may think that
the cabinet under your sink is safe, by many pets
can easily learn how to open cabinet doors. The
next thing you should do it check your
houseplants. It may be surprising for you to
learn that many common houseplants can be
poisonous to animals. Make sure that your pets
will not have access to the plants. This should
include being aware of where dead leaves will
fall.

Another common item that most new pet owners do
not consider is electrical cords. Obviously, it
is not possible to remove them, but you should
try to hide them out of the way whenever
possible. Electrical cords can cause two
different problems. One is that if they trip
over it, lamps, radios and even TVs can fall to
the ground. The other possible issue is that
your new pet could try to chew on the cords.
This could possible electrocute your new pet so
you should keep cords hidden away as much as
possible.

Many people recommend that you actually crawl
around on your floor on your hands and knees to
see what kinds of things you can get into. You
would be surprised to find out how many people
forget to put the trash can in the closet before
they bring home a new dog. However, they
discover their error the first time the contents
of the trash can end up all over the kitchen
floor.

The other place that you need to look at is on
your tables, especially end tables and coffee
tables. If you find anything on these tables
that may be interesting to your new pet, it
needs to be removed. This includes thinks like
pins and needles, medicine and gum. However, you
should take the next step and remove anything
larger that looks like it could possibly be
eaten.
