But it also comes with its own risks and discomforts. The team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.switzerveterinaryclinic.com\/\">Switzer Veterinary Clinic<\/a> is here to support Alpena, MI, pets through dog and cat safety during this sunnier, warmer season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are our top spring pet care tips to guide you through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 Spring Pet Care Tips for Alpena, MI Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Update Your Routines for Spring Pet Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your pet\u2019s wellness routine fell slightly off the tracks during the winter, we feel your pain. It happens all too easily to many of us: the cold makes us want to stay inside, and the holiday season brings an explosion of treats and sweets for us <em>and <\/em>our pets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But spring is an ideal time to get everything back on track. Start with gradual outdoor exercise and bi-weekly grooming. Pop into a dog wash to give your pup <a href=\"https:\/\/www.switzerveterinaryclinic.com\/blog\/winter-skin-allergy-care-for-alpena-pets\/\">a spring bath<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you continue your flea, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.switzerveterinaryclinic.com\/blog\/tick-awareness-and-prevention-for-alpena-pets\/\">tick<\/a>, and heartworm preventive routines\u2014or schedule a vet visit to get back on preventives if you paused them during the winter. Reassess your pet\u2019s nutrition and make sure she\u2019s still eating the food that\u2019s best for her age, breed, and health history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Keep an Eye Out for Outdoor Hazards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring often means everyone and their sister is refreshing yards and gardens. Everything from your neighbor\u2019s yard to the park you like to walk your pup or kitty at can contain harmful plants, lawn chemicals, mushrooms, and random winter debris.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standing water and mud can also carry harmful bacteria, so avoid letting your pet drink out of any puddles. Supervise outdoor time with your pet and keep your garden pet-safe with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.switzerveterinaryclinic.com\/blog\/pet-poison-prevention-month-essential-tips-for-alpena-pet-owners-in-march\/\">non-toxic<\/a> plants and pest deterrents to avoid springtime snafus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re increasing your outdoor time, make sure your pet\u2019s ID tag and microchip information are up-to-date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Watch Out for Joint Pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Large-breed dogs and elderly canines <em>and <\/em>felines alike can develop joint stiffness and arthritis symptoms in the winter months. The lack of movement, the cold, and the bone-chilling wind can all negatively affect your pet\u2019s joints.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means it\u2019s important for you to watch out for signs of stiffness, like limping, difficulty standing up, and decreased ability to jump and play. Check in with your veterinarian to see how you can best support your pet through any joint pain\u2014there\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.switzerveterinaryclinic.com\/blog\/how-can-integrative-medicine-help-my-pet-in-alpena\/\">a lot you and your vet can do<\/a> to help keep Fido or Kitty from living in pain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with providing <a href=\"https:\/\/bigbarker.com\/\">an orthopedic, arthritis-friendly bed<\/a>, practicing low-impact exercise every day, and adding omega-3s and other joint supplements to your pet\u2019s diet\u2014with your vet\u2019s approval, of course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partners in Spring Pet Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.switzerveterinaryclinic.com\/staff\/\">team at Switzer Veterinary Clinic<\/a> is here to support your spring pet care efforts.
