How To Keep Your Pets Healthy This Spring No Place Like Home

Spring is here and such a wonderful and beautiful time of year to be outdoors with your dog! Cats love sitting in windows watching the birds and butterflies. There are a few precautions to take with each season, so let’s discuss Spring.
First that come to mind are Lilies, Lillie’s are indeed very toxic to cats. It’s essential to keep them unreachable or avoid having them in the house if you have cats.
Easter Baskets are so much fun, but the fake grass used in Easter baskets can be dangerous for cats, causing choking or blockages. It’s best to keep these baskets unreachable or avoid using the fake grass altogether. Additionally, candy such as chocolate can harm dogs if consumed, so it’s important to keep them away from these treats.
As we start to open windows more frequently, it’s essential to check the screens for any damage or wear that could allow your cat to escape. Keeping screens in good condition can help prevent accidents.
If you’re a fan of gardening, be cautious with your dog around fertilizers and additives. Some can be harmful if ingested, so it’s best to keep your pets away from these areas.
Spring is also a great time to ensure your flea and tick prevention is up-to-date. These parasites become more active as the weather warms up, so it’s essential to protect your pets from them.
