RA - well you know your doggy best
but think about food and water bowls
where the dog will sleep/rest
does the child have access to the above
how are you going to keep the child safe with the dog and vice versa - the steps that you will take
note vaccinations and regular treatments/vets visits
where does the dog toilet - it is where a child plays - how are you going to make safe this area?
and so on....

Ive got one that is pretty much the same and also a line that states at no time will your child be left alone with the dog.
Mine are kept in my kitchen behind a 6 foot (2 child gates one upside down) and have a fenced off area in the garden that is cleaned twice daily of dogs mess and the kids know not to go there. I also informed my insurance company. x
I dont have a dog policy, I do have a dog. Ofsted came in February and never mentioned having a policy for the dog. It is included in things like the general house assessment, garden assessment, individual child assessments tho.
