Question : " I just got a new puppy . What seasonal
Ask the Groomer ... dangers should I be watchful for ? He loves playing in our yard and being outside !" Answer : From fleas , ticks , and other parasites to seasonal allergies , it ' s sometimes a challenge to keep our furry babies safe . Parasites can lurk in tall grass and crawl on your pet after a hike in the woods , a jaunt in a field , a playdate at the dog park , or just a quick romp in the backyard . Keep fleas and ticks off your dog or cat this spring by making sure to use preventative flea and tick treaments recommended by your veterinarian and avoid those tall grassy areas on your walks if you can .
Seasonal Allergies , like pollen when spring arrives , not only affect humans , but can also affect your pets . Get your pet tested for allergies and treated appropriately . If itching persists , Benadryl is commonly used for dogs and cats , but always make sure to check with the veterinarian before giving your pet any medications .
Plants , like beautiful blooming flowers , budding trees , and green all around are lovely to look at , but some of those plants are toxic to dogs and cats . Before you head out on a nature walk or start new landscaping projects , get familiar with common plants that are poisonious to pets .
Most important , be watchful of your pets and their surroundings . Don ' t let them romp around unsupervised ! Happy Spring to all !
