Tips To Make Your Home Pet Safe

Keep Away Precious and Fragile Items
Firstly, keep away anything precious and fragile. Pets tend to sniff around, pull down, and play with anything they see. So to avoid them coming in contact with glass or harmful chemicals, store them somewhere they cannot reach. Also, make sure to keep away medications and breakable items like vases and frames.

Avoid Open Wires
Most apartments and houses now have concealed wiring. However, some TV cables or lamp wires might hang out in the open. Make sure to keep them away from your pets. We suggest getting cable protectors and making sure to conceal any open wires to save your pet.

Avoid Carpets and Rugs
You have to ensure that your flooring is safe for your pet. Ask your custom builder Sydney to make textured or hardwood floors. But avoid using any carpets or exquisite rugs to top them.
