6 Spring Pet Safety Tips You Need for an Easy Breezy Season
Spring has sprung and we’re all ready to welcome some warmer weather, sunnier skies, and more outdoor playtime with our pets. To make sure this season stays sunny, keep these six spring pet safety tips in mind when you have your next dog’s day out.
Fleas, Ticks, and Other Parasites
Parasites can lurk on tall grass and crawl on your pet after a hike in the woods, a jaunt in a field, a playdate at the dog park, or just a quick romp in the backyard. Keep fleas and ticks off your dog or cat this spring by making sure to use preventative flea and tick treatments recommended by your veterinarian and avoiding those tall grassy areas on your walks if you can.
Either way, examine your pet regularly and if you notice a tick, remove it promptly. If you notice any signs of infection, schedule a checkup with your vet.
