There is nothing like finding out your off-campus housing at OU is a pet-friendly place. This means you can share your college experience with your beloved dog. Of course, there are steps you need to take to prepare for your four-legged friend. Use the following tips to puppy-proof your student apartment.
Invest in Pet Gates
One of the best ways to puppy-proof your student apartment is to create a designated area with pet gates. Be sure to add their food, water, toys and bed to their designated area. A designated area is a great idea when you cannot remain in the same room as your dog.
Remove The Safety Hazards
If you want to create a safe environment for your dog in your off-campus housing at OU, it is important to remove the safety hazards from the equation. Items that can cause illness or injury should be placed out of their reach, and this includes chocolate, medication, choking hazards, sharp objects and cords and wires.
Safeguard Your Valuables
The main goal of puppy-proofing your student apartment is to create a safe environment for them, but you also want to keep your valuables in mind when preparing for a dog. In addition to the safety hazards, your keepsakes, comfort items and school projects should be kept out of your dog’s reach.
