Keeping Your Dog Happy and Healthy This Spring

As we shake off the last remnants of winter and welcome the fresh air of spring, March is a perfect time to focus on your dog’s health, happiness, and enrichment. Whether you’re gearing up for more outdoor adventures or just want to keep your pup engaged at daycare, here’s how you can make the most of the season.

Spring Safety Tips for Pet Parents

With the change in season comes new considerations for pet safety. Here are a few important tips to keep in mind:

• Allergies in Dogs: Just like humans, dogs can suffer from seasonal allergies. Watch for excessive itching, licking, or sneezing, and consult your vet if symptoms persist.
• Spring Cleaning Hazards: Many household cleaners contain chemicals that can be toxic to dogs. Choose pet-safe cleaning products or ensure your pup stays away from freshly cleaned areas until they dry.
• Parasite Prevention: As temperatures rise, so does the risk of fleas, ticks, and heartworms. March is an excellent time to ensure your pup is up-to-date on their preventatives.
• Beware of Toxic Plants and Lawn Treatments: Many spring plants, such as daffodils and tulips, can be toxic to dogs. Additionally, lawn fertilizers and weed killers can pose health risks if ingested.
• Refresh Your Dog’s Space: It’s not just your home that could use a thorough cleaning—your furry friend’s space deserves some attention too! Spring cleaning isn’t just about decluttering and scrubbing floors; it’s also the perfect time to refresh your dog’s accessories, bedding, and overall environment. Let’s walk through the steps to ensure that your four-legged companion enjoys a clean and cozy space this spring.

Outdoor Adventures and Socialization  

Now that warmer weather is around the corner, it’s time to get outside and enjoy some fresh air!

• Dog-Friendly Hikes & Walks: Find local trails or parks where your pup can explore new scents and enjoy nature.
• Playdates & Socialization: If your dog has been cooped up all winter, now is a great time to reintroduce them to social activities. At Pawesome Pets Country Club, our daycare groups offer a structured environment where dogs can play, learn social cues, and have fun with their friends.
• Spring Training Refresher: Warmer weather brings more distractions outdoors, like squirrels and new scents. Refresh your dog’s leash manners and recall training before heading out for longer walks.
