While nutrition and exercise play a key role in your dog’s overall well-being, routine hygiene care is just as essential. Regular attention to your dog’s skin, coat, ears, nails, and teeth helps prevent discomfort, infections, and long-term health problems.
This spring checklist will guide you through the essential steps to ensure your dog thrives during the season of renewal.
Spring introduces allergens like pollen, grass, and mold that can affect your dog’s health. Watch for common signs of allergies such as:
To help minimize allergy symptoms:
Spring is prime shedding season as dogs lose their winter coat in preparation for warmer weather. Shedding can cause matting, skin irritation, and excess dander in your home.
To manage shedding increases:
Spring means more outdoor adventures, which can lead to muddy paws and potential paw pad irritation.
Oral health is just as important in spring as in any other season. Bad breath, tartar buildup, and gum inflammation can indicate underlying health issues. Discover the Scenthound difference at our Buckhead, Dunwoody, and Tucker locations.
