In the spring, with the onset of warm weather, many people spend more time with their pets outdoors.

But it is important to remember that during this period dogs may face some dangers.

Therefore, when walking with animals, it is worth following certain rules.

The emergence of parasites

In spring, ticks begin to recover from the winter period.

It should be taken into account that these parasites are carriers of various dangerous diseases.

Therefore, it is advisable to treat the animal against ticks with special preparations.

You should also avoid walking in forested areas and places with tall grass.

After returning home, it would be a good idea to examine your pet for parasites.

Injuries and poisoning

In the spring, the snow begins to melt, and as a result, everything that was hidden under it appears on the ground.

These could be different bottles, glass or other objects that are dangerous for the animal.

Therefore, you need to make sure that your pet does not accidentally get hurt or eat something on the street.

It is also important to remember that in the spring, plants are treated with various chemicals that can be toxic to dogs.

The appearance of allergies

Another danger in spring is the flowering and appearance of pollen. After all, animals can also be allergic to them.

In pets, it can manifest itself in the form of rashes, itching and runny nose.

So it would be a good idea to take some precautions. In particular, you shouldn't walk in places with a high pollen concentration.

It is also advisable to wash the animal’s face and paws after walks.
