Before you print
Who, what, when, where and why
What it is
A two-page walk-through checklist for entrances, gardens, living areas, kitchens, equipment, visitors and changing needs.
When to use it
Before the dog arrives, after home or garden changes, and at least twice a year.
Where it works best
Use it while physically walking through the home, garden, garage, shed and every exit rather than completing it from memory at a desk.
Why it was created
Most household safety improvements are small management changes. A dog-height inspection helps expose gaps, tempting hazards and escape routes people routinely overlook.
