Spring is here! Warmer weather gives us more opportunities to spend time with our pets outside, but there are a few things to think about to keep your pet safe.
Snail bait is toxic to our furry friends. Remember to choose one that is pet friendly.
Make sure your pet is fully vaccinated before taking them to places frequented by other pets.
Even though the temperatures may still be mild, have fresh water available.
If you have to leave your pet in the car for any length of time, make sure to open the windows as far as you safely can without the pet getting out or letting others reach their hands into the car.
Use pet friendly rat bait and pesticides.
Before planting new plants or bushes, make sure they are not toxic if nibbled on by your pet.
Foxtails are a big problem in the warmer months. Check your pet carefully after coming in from brushy areas. Pay particular attention to the feet, groin, ears and eyes.
Make sure your pet is protected against heartworm, fleas and ticks. Many of the heartworm preventatives also protect your pet from intestinal parasites that may be picked up outside and passed on to you. Have questions? Give us a call! We're always glad to help.
