It’s finally spring! (Though it doesn’t feel like it most of the time.)
Your furry friend must be so happy to be able to get out of the house more often!
But wait, U do know about all the potential dangers for your pet?
Well here are a few great tips from Lori Thomas Dickert at AllPetNews.com:
1. To prevent fleas and ticks, bathe your dog regularly with flea and tick shampoo and consider purchasing a flea collar for extra preventative measures. Talk to your vet for the best topical treatments for dogs and cats, and be sure to check regularly for ticks and fleas during this season.
2. Schedule a routine seasonal check-up with a licensed veterinarian to get specific allergy medicines and/or treatments.
3. When taking your dog on a walk or hike, make sure they are on a leash and don’t let them stray to dangerous areas or eat any flowers or plants. Along those lines, you should make sure they are well fed and hydrated before you take them out.
There is even the option of getting pet insurance!
If you have a rambunctious pup or curious cat who tends to land themselves at the vet’s more often than not, maybe insurance is a good idea too!
Happy spring safety everyone!!
