With days becoming longer, wind becoming warmer, and the world getting painted, change intrigues our human eyes, as intrigues our lovely pets' eyes. Spring is special in its own package of health and wellness challenges with them. Some of the Spring pet care basics have already been discussed so that your furry, feathered, or scaly buddy can enjoy this beautiful season.

Shedding Winter Coat: Why Spring Grooming Is Essential

One of the most obvious signs spring time has finally arrived is shedding winter coats. With warmer temperatures, most animals will begin to shed thick undercoats in preparation for improved weather to come. Shedding results in matted hair, scratching, and even skin problems if not managed.

• Brush Daily: Purchase a good brush appropriate for your pet's coat. Brush daily or at least three times weekly to get rid of loose fur, avoid matting, and stimulate blood circulation, leading to a shiny, Healthy coat. Long-haired pets use professional grooming sessions to fight resistant tangles and knots.

• Mild Shampooing: Do not over-shampoo the animal and strip its oils, but bathe it when shedding seasonally and take off loose hair. Use an animal Shampoo and employ good drying afterwards, particularly if their coat is heavy.

• Clipping nails Spring. A great time to check and cut your pet's nails. Long, sensitive nails not only hurt like the dickens but will have your dog limping and wreak havoc also. If you really have no idea how to trim them safely, your veterinarian or seasoned groomer would be more than happy to do so for you.

• Ear Cleaning: Time spent outdoors and extra heat in some areas of the year may also be the culprit of ear problems. Check your pet's ears daily for redness, discharge, or smell. Clean cleaned ears with cleaner vet-approved and cotton balls (do not insert cotton swabs inside the ear). With warmer temperatures in return, again are the fleas and ticks. They're pesky, disease-carrying, and they'll put your pet horribly sick. Spring and warm temperatures is peak time for protection.

• Best to Prevent Year Round: Since spring is such a crazy season, year-round protection is what veterinary professionals will suggest most. It is what protects year-round and fills gaps when dropping through them.

• Choosing the Best Preventative: There are many Flea and tick preventatives including topical application, oral therapy, collars, and chewables. Leave it to your vet to suggest the safest and most suitable for your pet's species, breed, age, weight, and lifestyle.

• Control of the environment: Notice that the ticks and fleas are within your pet's environment, i.e., yard, carpets, and beddings. Bathe beddings daily using hot water, vacuum both day and night, and fumigate your yard with pet-friendly insecticides in severe infestation.

• Periodic Inspection: Even with preventive measures, there is still a need to check your pet for fleas and ticks from time to time, particularly after they have been outdoors. Make sure to inspect the regions around the ears, the neck, groin area, and between the toes. Spring is also a season of renewal, and attention to your pet on a general health level is on your agenda to have accomplished. That includes feeding them, how much exercise they need, and being in contact with the vet regularly.

• Adequate Diet: Maintain your pet on a proper, balanced diet appropriate to their activity level and life stage. Spring will see them play around and run more, so keep them in top shape with what they need. If you truly have no idea what they should be on, consult your veterinarian.

• More Activity: As the weather improves, all pets will become more active. Encourage good and healthy exercise, i.e., long walks, back-yard play, or home play. Gradually build up activity if your pet was less active during this winter.

• Keep Your Pet Hydrated: Keep your pet supplied with a fresh, clean source of water at all times, especially with increasing temperatures and exercise. Bring water along on longer trips.

• Seasonal Allergies: Likewise, their human counterparts, pets, are also susceptible to seasonal allergies. Redness in the skin, itching, sneezing, and even breathing difficulties are triggered by external allergens such as pollen and mold. If you notice any allergy symptom, take your pet to the doctor prior to diagnosis and treatment.

• Flea and Tick Prevention and Others: Spring also witnesses the infestation of other parasites such as intestinal worms and heartworms. Keep your pet on the proper preventatives medicine as suggested by your veterinarian.

• Regular Vet Check-UPS: Spring is a good time to bring your pet in for their six-month visit or yearly check-up. Your vet can walk them through those, get them all caught up on their vaccinations, talk to you about parasite prevention, and address any concerns you may have. Safety First: Spring Hazards to Watch Out For Spring is just so beautiful, but it's also got some not-so-bad things in it that harm our pets.

• Gardening Pesticides: Treat fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides with care when in your garden. Prevent pets from coming in contact with exposed surfaces until they dry out and become safe for handling. Keep them away and locked in safe places.

• Spring Flowers: Certain spring flowers and indoor plants are poisonous to pets if eaten. Be aware of what common poisonous plants are in your region and keep them out of reach from your pet. Lilies, tulips, and daffodils are a few.

• Open Doors and Windows: When ventilating your home, make sure doors and windows are properly screened so pets don't have a tumble or an early exit.

• Warming Cars: Never leave a parked car without your pet, even for an instant. The interior of a vehicle can be heated up in seconds and be1 deadly, even on a light spring morning.
