Spring Pet Care Tips: Keep Your Pet Happy & Healthy This Season

As the weather warms up and pets spend more time outdoors, it’s important to adjust your pet care routine for the season. From pest prevention to hydration and grooming, here are a few spring pet care tips to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and safe this May.

1. Stay Ahead of Fleas & Ticks

Spring marks the start of flea and tick season. These pests can cause everything from irritation to serious illness, so prevention is key.

Stock up on:

• Flea & tick topical treatments or collars

• Natural repellents and sprays

• Yard-safe pest control options

2. Brush Off the Winter Coat

Many pets shed their winter coat in the spring. Help reduce shedding and matting with regular grooming.

Must-haves:

• Brushes and deshedding tools

• Pet-safe shampoos

• Wipes for muddy paws and spring messes

3. Hydration is Key

As temperatures climb, your pet needs easy access to fresh water both inside and out.

Helpful items:

• Outdoor water bowls

• Portable water bottles for walks

• Pet fountains for constant circulation

4. Outdoor Safety Check

Before heading out to the backyard or dog park, make sure your fencing is secure and your pet is microchipped and/or has updated ID tags.

Bonus Tip: Always keep your pet on a leash or in a secure area — spring distractions like squirrels or new smells can lead to unexpected escapes.
