Don’t let ticks hitch a ride on your furry friend during spring adventures in grassy and wooded areas. 

Ticks attach very quickly and can be tricky to spot, so stay vigilant, and check your dog after every hike and hunt. 

🐾 Run your hands over their body, feeling for small, hard bumps.
🐾 Check ears, neck, “armpits”, groin, and between toes.
🐾 Look around the collar area and under their tail.

Regular grooming after outdoor adventures and using vet-approved tick preventives are additional ways to keep your buddy safe and protected all season long.

Spring cleaning can be less of a chore and more of a team effort when your furry friend joins in. 

Wash their bedding and sort through their toys by letting them sniff out their favorites or let them out to play fetch while you clear your yard of sticks and debris. #unleashadventure
Spring’s warm, wet weather creates the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, the carriers of dangerous heartworms.

Dogs in rural areas are especially at risk. Prevention is key, and April being National Heartworm Awareness Month reminds us to “Think 12” 

Get your dog tested for heartworm every 12 months and use heartworm prevention year-round to keep your pup protected.

Spring means new trails, fresh air, and yes, a little extra shedding. 

Shedding varies from breed to breed, but for most double-coated dogs, spring is peak shedding season. 

A little daily TLC will help your pup look and feel their best as they shed their winter coat for new adventures.
