Each season offers pet owners new challenges, but nothing like the challenges that Spring brings! For better or worse, our pets will be spending a lot more time outside in the coming months! So let's take good care of them.

Make the garden safe:
It’s organic all the way for us which makes me very careful about reading labels. Reading Dogs in Canada magazine taught me that I also need to be aware of how poisonous many Spring-flowering bulbs can be to dogs and cats. Did you know that any part of an Easter lily is deadly to cats if eaten? You can find out more about which plants are dangerous at Dogs in Canada Magazine.

Take your pet to the vet:
Having an annual Spring check-up for your pets can save you lots of money down the road, especially as they age. Spring is the time to get your dogs tested for heartworm. Ask your vet for more information about this preventable disease, spread by mosquitoes. While you are there, get your dog's and cat's flea and tick treatments sorted out, too. Your vet can recommend the best products, based on your pet's age, size and circumstances, before the season kicks in.

Groom them:
I could make a puppy out of the hair that came off our dog, Noke the other night! Spring is the perfect time to have dogs groomed professionally. It’s especially important that I brush Aries, the cat, out often, to avoid the hairballs that form as he cleans his coat.

Spring clean safely:
Keep in mind that any Spring cleaning or renovations must be done with non-toxic products. Vinegar and water make a natural cleaning concoction that won’t hurt the pets. Storing paint, paint thinner or bleach, motor oil, and anti-freeze safely is vital.
