Dogs and Springtime - How to Protect Them?
Spring has arrived, bringing longer days, blooming flowers, and more sunshine to enjoy. Longer and warmer walks bring joy to us and our dogs, but it’s important to consider their safety as well.
How to Protect Our Dogs from Parasites?
Spring brings favorable conditions for harmful external parasites that lurk around our pets including ticks, fleas, mites, as well as mosquitoes and flies. They can cause various diseases so it is recommended to use protective collars or spot-on treatments. Don't forget about pills against internal parasites like heartworm, roundworms, and tapeworms which can cause digestive issues, vomiting, lethargy, and weight loss. Protect your pet's health in time.
With Spring Come Allergies
Like humans, dogs can have seasonal allergies to pollen, dust, fleas, and more, so it's crucial to pay attention to our dog's behavior. Itching, skin redness, swelling, diarrhea, vomiting, sneezing, are just some of the ways how dog’s allergies can manifest. There are various strategies for managing allergies, like avoiding allergens, dietary changes, medical or shampoo therapy and immunotherapy. Pay attention to the hygiene of their gear between walks. Washing and maintaining their harnesses, collars, leashes, or clothing to minimize contact with potential allergens is a good thing to do.
Shedding – Making it Easier for Our Dogs with a Good Hairstyle
As temperatures rise, shedding can be more intense since our dogs undergo a natural renewal of winter fur to a lighter spring coat. There are a few ways to make it easier for them:
More frequent brushing helps to remove dead fur and stimulate the growth of new fur
Diet rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for healthier skin and fur
Gentle bathing.
