Electrical Cords and Outlets

Electrical cords can pose a significant danger if chewed. Pets, especially teething puppies and curious cats, may be attracted to dangling cords. Use cord protectors to cover exposed wires and prevent chewing. Ensure that all electrical outlets are fitted with safety covers to avoid the risk of electric shock. Rearrange furniture if necessary to hide cords from access. Additionally, unplug appliances when not in use to further minimize risks.
