Cat owners should do a thorough cleaning of litter boxes. Owners who use clumping litters tend not to dump out the entire box. But this is a good time to do it. And before refilling it, give the box a good scrubbing. Wash your pet and her bedding.
Dander builds up during the dry winter months.
Toss the bedding into the washing machine. And then shampoo your pet, too, using a diluted baby shampoo or a pet shampoo. Wash your windows. For indoor pets, windows offer numerous sources of entertainment, such as watching people, birds and outdoor pets. Prepare for flea season.
