Pets and Power Cords: Why Chewing Can Be Deadly and How to Protect Your Home

If you have a curious cat or a playful pup, your home may not be as safe as it looks. That innocent-looking power cord can become a deadly toy when pets start chewing it. The damage is not just to your devices-your pet’s life is at risk too. Electrocution from chewed wires is more common than most pet parents realize. But the good news? You can easily prevent it with the right protection.

Chewed Cords, Burned Mouths, and Heartbreak

Cats and dogs love to explore the world with their mouths. But chewing on power cords can lead to:

• Electrical burns inside their mouth

• Severe pain or swelling

• Electric shock injuries

• Organ failure in serious cases

• Even death in extreme situations

The risk is real, but it's also avoidable. That’s why cord protector pets products from My Protecto’s Wire Protectors are absolute lifesavers. These protectors cover dangerous cords so your pet never gets hurt again.

Not Just Cords – Furniture and Doors Are Also Victims

If your dog scratches the door when you're gone or your cat claws the couch at midnight, you already know the damage can add up. But there's a better way.

Use These Protectors to Guard Your Home:

• Pet furniture protectors to stop claw marks on sofas

• Cat furniture protector to prevent shredded cushions

Signs Your Pet Might Be a Cord Chewer

Pets don't always chew right in front of you. Look out for:

• Bite marks on cords or missing rubber

• Black burns on plugs or wires

• Pets who hide and chew in silence

• Twitching or odd behavior after a shock

• Burnt smell around outlets or chargers

If you notice any of these, immediately install a wire protector for pets and keep them safe.
