Nowadays, more and more families have dogs. Indeed, raising dogs can bring a lot of joy to our lives, but there are many things we need to pay attention to when keeping dogs at home. If we are not careful, it could pose a threat to the dog's life safety. Today, the editor from Boqi Network will talk about the issues families raising dogs need to be aware of. Let's take a look below.

1. Food Placement

Pet owners know that dogs are natural food lovers, but dogs cannot distinguish foods, which can easily lead to accidental ingestion of dangerous foods. Therefore, owners need to place food properly and feed them only at designated times.

2. Placement of Plants

If the pet owner’s home also has many plants, it is recommended to place the plants out of the dog’s reach to prevent dogs from damaging the plants and to avoid dogs ingesting toxic plants by mistake.

3. Wiring Setup

Some dogs are very naughty and often cause damage when their owners are away. Pet owners must ensure that no electrical wires are exposed at home to prevent dogs from getting electric shocks by chewing on wires. There is an incident online where a Husky accidentally bit through wires; you can check it out.

4. Small Items

Owners should keep small items put away to prevent dogs from swallowing them. Items like pins and marbles can seriously affect dogs’ health and even threaten their lives if ingested, so owners must be careful.

5. Gaps in the Home

When preparing to bring a dog home, owners need to check all the gaps the dog can reach in the house to prevent the dog from accidentally getting stuck in them, which could cause injuries.

6. Dangerous Items

Owners with dogs at home should pay attention to the placement of dangerous items such as laundry detergent, rat poison, and insect repellents, making sure they are out of the dog’s reach to avoid poisoning and life-threatening incidents.

These are the issues that families raising dogs need to pay attention to. Hopefully, this can help everyone.
