Springtime Safety Tips
Last week we discussed how to keep your pet safe from fleas and ticks as the weather gets warmer. But pesky parasites are not the only thing a pet parent should be aware of this spring. There are a few safety tips we would like to share to ensure your fur-kid stays healthy, happy and out of harm’s way this spring, even while indoors.
Indoor Safety Precautions
Spring is here: Is your pet protected from fleas and ticks?
Fleas and ticks on your fur-kid, oh my! That’s right pet parents; it is flea and tick season once again. Whether you live in the city, suburbs, or out in the country, fleas and ticks are prevalent no matter where you reside, so don’t let your surroundings fool you, your pet is prone to these parasites regardless. But don’t be alarmed, there are several ways to prepare yourself and protect your pet from these little buggers. The most important thing is becoming knowledgeable about fleas and ticks and then taking the necessary steps to prevent your pet from becoming a target.
Cats Require Grooming Too
Although cats do a great job cleaning themselves, it is always a good idea to take them to be bathed and groomed by an experienced professional at least every 3-4 months to ensure their skin and coat are healthy and to reduce dander. Generally, pet parents leave their cat's grooming up to the cat because they believe that he is effectively grooming himself.
Importance of Basic Pet Grooming
A little bit goes a long way - and that is particularly true when it comes to grooming your fur-kid. According to American Humane Society, keeping your pet groomed is an important part of companion animal guardianship.
Senior Pet Health and Wellness
Much to my dismay, my beloved chocolate lab, Ave, will be nine years old this year and has been considered a senior pet since he was seven. He's still in great shape and leads an active life, but particular attention needs to be paid to his wellbeing now.
