If you have a dog, then you will of course want to do everything that you can to keep them safe and healthy.
Here are five simple tips that will help you to ensure that your four-legged friend will stay safe.
How To Keep Yor Puppy Safe
Walking your dog:
When walking your dog along a busy road, make sure he is on a lead.
You can use a retractable lead that will give you a length of six feet but can be shortened again if the dog is straying onto the road.
When walking in the dark or during dull weather, you can use a reflective collar and/or high-visibility jacket on your dog so that he cannot be missed by oncoming traffic.

Traveling in your car:
If your dog is loose in the car, even after a slight bump, he could be thrown around, injuring himself, and possibly other passengers.
Special harnesses are widely available that attach to a safety belt and keep him in one place.
When you have reached your destination, you can attach a lead to the harness, and use it to walk the dog.
Alternatively, you can keep your pooch safely in a pet carrier whilst traveling.
Fold-flat cages are especially useful, as they take up very little space when not in use.

Containment system:
If you are gone for lengthy periods, a Petsafe electric fence system is effective and highly recommended.
It lets your dog have a free range within a specified area.
A length of wire is used to create a boundary, is plugged into the mains and the dog wears a special collar with a receiver on it.
This will make a noise as the dog approaches the wire and then gives the dog a very small shock when crossing the boundary.
This is perfectly safe and will not harm your dog. With a little training, your dog will soon learn not to cross the line!
If you are absent for shorter periods, you can use a tie-out cable and stake.
The stake screws into the ground, fairly deeply, to suit even large dogs.
One end of the cable attaches to the stake and one to the dog's collar.
The specially-designed cable rope is weatherproof and strong.
Dog shelter:
It is extremely important that when you leave your dog that he has adequate shelter and a supply of water. Outdoor and indoor dog kennels contain different features.
Indoor dog kennels are usually made of chain, wire, or plastic, and are smaller than outdoor kennels.
Outdoor dog kennels are relatively larger and composed of wood or plastic.
You must ensure that the dog kennel is comfortable enough that the dog can move about easily.
There has to be enough space for the dog to play and rest.
Outdoor kennels must have a roof, to protect the dog from rain, cold, and sunlight.
