Pet-Proofing Your Home: A Room-by-Room Checklist
A practical safety checklist for common household risks before bringing home a pet.
Pet-proofing reduces avoidable household risks and should be reviewed as an animal grows or develops new habits.
Kitchen
Store food, cleaning products and rubbish securely. Keep hot surfaces and sharp utensils inaccessible.
Living areas
Secure loose cables, small swallowable items and unstable furniture. Check houseplants for species-specific toxicity.
Bathroom
Keep medication, cosmetics and cleaning products closed away.
Bedroom
Check for small objects, charging cables and gaps behind furniture where an animal could become trapped.
Garden or balcony
Inspect fencing, gates and balcony openings, and research plants and pest-control products before use.
Better choices start with better advice.
Practical guidance for walks, comfort, enrichment and everyday pet care.
