Tips for a Healthy and Safe Spring
Can’t wait to Play – For most our pets have been cooped up all winter and ready to roll. Your dog is very excited so if hitting the dog park, local hills and especially when interacting with other dogs caution needs to be taken. Leash your dog to the release point knowing your dog is very excited. Monitor your pet’s interaction with other dogs as again the excitement level is very high.
Flea and tick preventatives – Spring is when fleas and ticks start coming out again. Keep them away from your pet with preventatives and out of your house, yard, and carpeting
Spring Cleaning – Be mindful of the chemicals in the cleaners you use around the house. Think about using more eco-friendly cleaners and natural products.
Windows and Door care – Check your windows and doors for holes or weak spots in the screens. You don’t want bugs crawling into your house and you definitely don’t want your cat accidentally getting out if s/he’s indoor only.
Lawn and Yard care– Lawn and yard fertilizers are highly toxic. If you can, look for alternatives to the usual bone meal, cocoa mulch, and pesticides used to make gardens.
Spring brings great joy for us and our pet’s but caution is needed as we are all excited to get out of the house so be careful. – Eli Enki
