Heartworm Season Springtime is the season where many things grow, including weeds. As you apply your weed killers this spring, remember to keep your pet out of the yard until the weed killer is absorbed or diluted by water. Also, be careful when you sow your lawn when there are pets in the area.
Allergies also start up in the spring, just as they do in people.
Early treatment of an allergic condition can often help reduce the side effects of allergies. One must keep in mind that most allergies are not curable, but are treatable. As spring approaches, so do the internal and external parasites. Hopefully, you have kept your dog on heartworm preventative all year round. If your pet has been taken off heartworm preventative, you must have your pet checked for heartworms prior to starting back on prevention.
