Spring Dog Care Tips
1. It’s time to fight fleas and ticks actively
As the weather would get warmer outside, fleas and ticks may become a bigger threat to your pooches more than ever. If you had halted their treatments during winters then it’s time to get back on the track and fight the parasites actively. Start with monthly flea and tick treatments before spring sets in.
2. Protect your tyke’s heart against heartworms
A single mosquito inside your home or in the backyard may be the carrier heartworm larvae. Now, the nature plays its seasonal role and we may not be able to control the mosquitoes entirely. However we can obviously protect our dogs from this infestation. Use of reliable heartwormers during spring is essential. Start the preventive treatment right from the start to avoid putting your pooch at an exposed risk.
3. Spring is the time for the allergies to resurface
With pollens and grass weeds all over the place, our pooches are equally at the risk of allergies as much as we are during spring season. If you have a hypoallergenic pet then make sure you have a quick chat with your vet and ask him to prescribe a suitable anti-allergen. Once done that, your pooch is protected from the all tge scratching and itching.
To conclude, spring may turn out to be a great time to spend with your pets if they are in their optimal health. Like, hike trip with your pooch may not be fun if he is busy scratching, would it? Last, quick tip- If not done yet, make sure you microchip your pet before heading for a hike!
