The Beginner’s Guide to Puppy Proofing
It’s one of the happiest days of your life. You’re finally holding your precious new arrival and he’s even more perfect than you’ve imagined! Then the panic sets in – what do you do now? Are you (and your home) prepared for this? It may seem like a harmless and supremely adorable labradoodle pup right now, but you’ve heard tales of caution from other pup parents. (The mess! The smells!) Will you ever be able to welcome guests into your home again, or will the canine stink drive them away? Don’t fret – we’re here to hold your hand and guide you to a happily-ever-after ending for you, your pup and your guests.
Suck it up
Like it or not, vacuuming is a huge part of the new puppy-friendly lifestyle – it keeps the fur at bay, which helps minimise odours. However, the loud whirring of a vacuum tends to scare pups, so try using a Swiffer if your fur baby insists on hanging about. If you’re finding the transition from clean, fresh air to eau de pup a little tough, use the odour-eliminating Febreze Fabric Refresher on carpets and rugs every time you vacuum. While you’re at it, why not give your curtains and couches a spray too – it’ll help you stay on top of any furry smells so your home is always ready for guests!
Get all speedy Gonzales on smelly stains
Your little furball is as messy as he is cute, and accidents are a constant recurrence. Whether he’s knocking over food items, forgetting his hidden snacks, or going to the toilet, he’s leaving a stinky, stained-filled trail wherever he goes. Whatever it is, it’s important to clean it up quick and use Febreze Fabric Refresher to neutralise any lingering odour molecules. Wonder why your pup keeps doing the deed in the same spot? It’s because he can smell his original scent. That’s why it’s so important to use an odour-eliminating spray like Febreze Fabric Refresher – it’ll rid your soft furnishings of any lingering odours so your pup doesn’t leave any more “surprises” for your guests.
