PET-PROOFING YOUR HOUSE

Whether you're a new pet parent or you're looking to better protect your fur baby at home, here are tips from DEVANSHI SHAH, founder and CEO of PetKonnect

Bringing a fur baby into the home can be a very enjoyable and rewarding journey. Having puppies, kittens and other animals in the home is similar to having a child around, so you must give pet-proofing your house the same attention to detail.

Here's how you can get started...

COVER UP!

Start by covering sharp corners and electrical plugs, and minimising access to electric wires. Baby animals are pretty sprightly and might run amok around the house when they're not sleeping. They tend to play with wires and even try to chew on them, which could lead to serious injury.

Also check your balconies to see whether the young one is at risk of falling off; many balconies have a grill structure with gaps through which little bodies can squeeze.
