Spring is here, and while we're loving the warmer weather, it's important to remember that this season brings some hazards for our furry friends! 🌷☀️

Here's what to watch out for:

1. Allergies: Just like us, pets can suffer from seasonal allergies. Keep an eye out for excessive scratching, licking, or sneezing.
2. Parasites: Ticks and fleas are back in full force! Make sure your pet is up-to-date on their preventative medications.
3. Spring blooms: Certain flowers and plants, like tulips and daffodils, are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep them out of reach!
4. Gardening dangers: Fertilizers, insecticides, and cocoa mulch can be harmful if ingested. Store them safely away from curious paws.
5. Car rides: Warmer weather = car rides with your dog! Windows open? Watch for eye debris and ensure they're secure in a carrier or with a seat belt!!

If you have any concerns about your pet's health, don't hesitate to reach out!
