As the weather changes and spring sunshine arrives in your yard, you should make some updates and prepare your pup for a new season. Don\u2019t be afraid \u2013 it\u2019s not too much work, just a few simple steps!<\/span><\/p>\n

The 5 Ways To Prepare Your Dog For Spring Are:<\/b><\/p>\n

#1 Dog Health<\/b><\/h3>\n

With the rising temperature, there is an increased risk of pests attacking your dog. Consult your vet for a checkup and vaccination, and start preventatives for fleas, ticks, worms, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep yourself informed about symptoms of allergies and pest attacks in your dog so you can take measures timely.<\/span><\/p>\n

#2 Grooming<\/b><\/h3>\n

Since winter is over, there is no need for large furs, and it\u2019s time to say goodbye to them. You can visit a professional groomer and get your dog a haircut. Or, if you\u2019re the DIY-type (and saving some monayyy!), baths and regular brushing will help in shedding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Always look for bumps, lumps, and other irregularities on your dog\u2019s skin, and talk to your vet about it if you find anything.<\/span><\/p>\n

#3 Dog Supplies<\/b><\/h3>\n

With outdoor play increasing, ensure your dog has an up-to-date ID and microchip with your address and contact info. If your dog has shed too much and the old collar doesn\u2019t fit anymore, get a smaller one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspect your dog\u2019s toys, crate, clothing, bedding, and other items for damage and repair and clean them if you can. Pack the winter clothing and other accessories your dog won\u2019t need in spring in a safe place.<\/span><\/p>\n

#4 Maintenance Work<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s possible that the snow damaged your fence or uncovered nails. Review your yard for dangers that can hurt you or your dog and repair them. Look for things like a hole in the fence, pulled boards, tree branches, and chipped paint, and maintain them properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

#5 Train Again<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s okay to deviate from the routine in winter, given the harsh environment. However, since spring is here, it\u2019s time to get back to your routine and re-train your dog. Start regular walking and exercise and revisit your dog\u2019s obedience training and any other commands he\u2019s missing.<\/span><\/p>\n

If re-training is tough for your dog, consider signing up for a training class. You and your dog can meet new people and their dogs and enjoy spring to the extent!<\/span><\/p>\n
