Did you know…

Dogs have “____ memory.”

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

As the weather warms up and days get longer, suddenly everyone wants to be outside again (including your dog). And if your pup has been cooped up all winter, now is the perfect time to shake things up and try something new together.

Some of the best spring activities are simple ones. A hike through a local trail lets your dog explore new smells while you enjoy the scenery. A trip to the beach or park can turn into an afternoon of fetch or Frisbee. Even something as low-key as packing a picnic or teaching your dog a new trick can turn an ordinary day into a fun bonding moment.

Spring is also a great time to explore dog-friendly spaces in your community. Farmers’ markets, outdoor events, and even some breweries welcome well-behaved pups. You can also create little adventures at home, like hiding treats for a backyard scavenger hunt or snapping photos of your dog surrounded by blooming flowers.

The best part is that none of these activities need to be complicated. Sometimes all your dog really wants is a little fresh air, a new place to sniff, and more time with you. And spring just happens to be the perfect season for all three.

Spring means longer walks, open windows, and more time outside with your dog. It’s one of the best seasons to be a dog parent. But as the weather warms up and routines change, there are a few seasonal hazards worth keeping on your radar.

Spring cleaning products, paints, fertilizers, and garden chemicals can all be harmful if pets get into them. Even products labeled “natural” can still contain ingredients that may irritate or poison animals. Spring plants can also be a concern. Popular flowers like azaleas and rhododendrons may look beautiful in the yard, but are toxic if pets chew on them.

Warmer weather also brings fleas, ticks, and seasonal allergies. Making sure your dog stays on parasite prevention and keeping an eye out for itching, sneezing, or skin irritation can help catch problems early. And with more outdoor adventures comes a higher chance of wandering, so updated ID tags and microchips are always a good idea.

The good news is that a little awareness goes a long way. With a few simple precautions, you and your dog can enjoy everything spring has to offer.

Spring has sprung and summer is quickly approaching. With warmer weather, comes more outdoor activities with our furry friends and therefore more vet visits.
