When you leave for work in the morning, you may worry about keeping your pet safe at home. We know three simple steps to keep your furry baby safe.

Keeping Your Pet Safe At Home: Restrict the roaming area

First, when you are leaving your pet at home, decide how much space she can have. Many pet owners decide to restrict the roaming area for the pet – this is especially beneficial for younger pets who love to explore! Do your research on crate training. When done right, it will provide your pup with a safe place and prevent her from chewing on your shoes and what not. Always make sure that your pet has access to clean water at all times.

Keeping Your Pet Safe At Home: Keep an eye on your pet from afar

Being far from home does not necessarily mean you can’t know what’s going on when you’re away. Invest in a video pet monitor, which will provide you with a piece of mind. For instance, Helmet pet monitor has 1080p video resolution with zoom and night vision to give you the clearest view of your pet. It also has two-way audio, sound and motion alerts, and 360° horizontal movement controlled through the app. But the best part is built-in pet laser that you can activate to play chase with your pet.

Keeping Your Pet Safe At Home: Pet-Proof The Area

Make sure your pet does not have access to things that can harm her, such as household cleaning supplies, food or plants poisonous to pets, small objects, etc. Keep the furniture and interior decor objects away from falling on the pet by securing them. Install gates or childproof latches if necessary. Make sure the pet does not have access to sharp objects, such as knives, or forks.
