Mistakes That Could Shorten Your Dog’s Life

#26 Not Doggy-Proofing Areas

Parents know that when babies start crawling, they need to baby-proof the house to avoid accidental mishaps in the future. Many times, pooch parents forget this little detail.

Dogs, depending on their breed, can be extremely curious and rambunctious. They actively go around snapping, tearing and biting things around them that may be dangerous and cause severe injury.

This especially applies to people who have a backyard and may have ropes or chains attached for hanging swings and jungle gyms. There is chance the dog may get entangled and choke or suspend itself.
