Spring has finally sprung in North Bay, ON! Or, it’s starting to, anyway. As the snow retreats and the sunshine starts warming skin, fur, and paws alike, now’s the perfect time to get your furry friends ready for spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With some TLC in the pet wellness <\/strong>department, you can help Fido and Kitty transition into the new season happy, healthy, and ready for adventure. Here are the top spring care tips from our team at Parkside Animal Hospital<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tips for Preparing Pets for Summer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brush and Wash Winter Away<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Warmer weather means shedding season is here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many pets start losing their winter coats as temperatures rise, so regular grooming is more important than ever right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule a grooming session with your favorite grooming service or take your pet to the nearest dog wash for a warm bath. Then, brush her daily to keep her coat smooth, shiny, and free from hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With routine bathing and brushing, your pet will enter the summer season<\/a> with a supple, healthy coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spruce Up Your Pets’ Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your spring cleaning checklist isn\u2019t complete until you\u2019ve cleaned up your pet’s space, too. This is the perfect time to toss out gross, worn-out toys, wash your pet’s bedding, and give her food and water dishes a good scrub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your pet loves spending time outside, make sure you clean up the yard. Scoop the poop, clear winter debris, and make sure you’ve got clean, shady areas for Fido and Kitty to hang out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spring Tune-Up at the Vet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spring is the perfect time to get your pet’s annual checkup booked. We can’t possibly overstate the importance of wellness checks for pets. With spring comes the return of fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes<\/a>, so now\u2019s the time to stock up on preventives and protect your pets from these pesky critters. Your veterinarian can help you with all of that and make sure your pet is healthy and ready for spring and summer fun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
