Spring Checklist for your Pet<br />
Finally, the spring season is upon us – warmer<br />
weather and sunshine are here. Just as you’re preparing<br />
to freshen up your home with spring cleaning<br />
(it’s a tradition, after all), it’s also the perfect<br />
time to work on your “Springtime Pet Checklist.”<br />
1. Flee the Flea. The warmer weather is your cue<br />
to begin administering flea & tick preventatives.<br />
Whether you use popular flea and tick treatments<br />
or <strong>com</strong>bat fleas without chemicals, make sure your<br />
pets are protected. Also, after playing outdoors or<br />
hiking with your dog, check his or her entire body<br />
for ticks.<br />
2. Say No to Heartworm. The warmer weather<br />
is also the time to begin administering heartworm<br />
preventatives . Schedule a vet exam to ensure that<br />
your pet is heartworm-free.<br />
3. Safety First. Create a Pet First Aid kit. Our<br />
friendly and knowledgeable staff can help you find<br />
everything you’ll need to put a kit together. Check<br />
with your vet to make sure your dog’s rabies vaccination<br />
is up to date.<br />
4. Planting Prep. Spring flowers and blooming<br />
gardens are beautiful, but could also be hazardous<br />
to your pets.<br />
5. Primp Your Pup. Help your dog feel refreshed<br />
with a thorough spring cleaning. Schedule a trip<br />
to the groomer for a wash and trim, purge your<br />
old shampoo and cleaning supplies and set up your<br />
own doggie spa. Try a new dog shampoo and conditioner,<br />
like our line from Tropiclean, or one of the<br />
new models of de-shedding tools from Furminator<br />
to help thin your dog’s or Cat’s winter coat.<br />
6. De-Grime Your Dog’s Gear. Wash and freshen<br />
your dog’s bedding, clean your dog’s toys and discard<br />
them as needed. Clean, wash and disinfect or<br />
replace your dog’s bowls, placemats, and grooming<br />
supplies too. Also check the dates on all pet<br />
food and treats, discarding those past the ‘use by’<br />
dates.<br />
7. Spring Fashion, Dog-Style. Freshen up your<br />
dog’s wardrobe with a colourful new spring collar<br />
and lead, speaking of collars, update any outdated<br />
or hard- to- read information on your dog’s ID tags<br />
as needed.<br />
8. Plan a Getaway. Make your plans now for a<br />
spring or early summer weekend getaway – with<br />
your pet as your travel buddy, of course. With more<br />
and more hotels, motels and B & B’s accepting pets<br />
of all sizes, the options are endless.<br />
9. Find Some Fun. Get into shape with your dog<br />
by spending more time exercising outdoors and<br />
making a plan to participate in fun new activities .<br />
