Just like you, your pet is itching (no pun intended) to get out there and enjoy the warmer weather, longer days, and beautiful sunshine that’s awaiting you both. But here’s the problem. There are many potential risks in spring that can lead to danger for your pets, including some of the flowers your pet can encounter. One of these dangerous flowers is the lily, a flower that's particularly hazardous to cats.

Though many of these dangers are natural, you also have to be aware of artificial dangers related to spring. These can include open windows from which animals can jump out of and potentially hurt themselves, as well as plastic grass, which can sometimes be bright and alluring to your pet. (2)

Many natural flowers are dangerous to your pets, but so are fertilizers. Fertilizers can cause significant gastrointestinal problems in your pets, and some can even be fatal. Letting your pets loose without taking the NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS can lead to missing symptoms that can help you stop a significant problem before it escalates. (3)

 

QUICK TIP: Pets are natural explorers, and love to get their little paws dirty! Be sure to clean them and protect them from themselves with GARNER’S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC PET SHAMPOO every day this spring! (4)

 

Fertilizers aren’t the only dangers lurking in the grass that can turn your pet’s dream spring into a nightmare. Insecticides and herbicides can also cause risks to your pet’s health. Some of these may already be on the grass outside, potentially without you even knowing it, so be sure to both store these chemicals away from your pets, as well as to watch where your pets go when they go outside.

 

Fluctuating temperatures can affect your pet too! Be sure to MOISTURIZE your pet's sensitive coat with the GENTLE and HYDRATING INGREDIENTS found in GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC PET SHAMPOO today!

 

Furthermore, when you are outside with your pets, just remember to keep an eye on them, as pets love to go for walks on their own too! They also love the nicer weather, so make sure you’re watching them or they can easily get away. For additional safety, make sure they have a tag so they can always find their way back to you! (5)

Your pets love the outdoors so much that sometimes they can stay outside a little too long! What results is the potential for heatstroke. It’s also important that you take precautions to prevent dehydration and sunburns from affecting your pet during the hotter days and warmer nights of spring. (6)

SPRING AND PETS

 

In addition to some of the natural flowers and fertilizers that are dangerous to your pets, you also need to look at some of the animals that can pose a risk to your pet. These include lungworms, snakes, and dangerous ticks that even you have to look out for.

This is why it’s so important that you check your pet after walks, being sure to check them for bumpiness and lumpiness you may have not noticed before. It’s also important to check inside your pet’s ears, where ticks can unexpectedly hide and cause dangers to your pet's health. (7)

 

Your pet has been waiting to get outside and play in the grass all winter long. Be sure to clean your pets and protect them this spring with the ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS found in GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC PET SHAMPOO and 100% ALL-NATURAL DEET FREE BUG REPELLENT OIL!

 

And when you are outside, be careful with the toys your pets play with. Certain toys can hurt your pet, and can cause problems in their digestive system, and can even lead to obstructions, especially when you use rubber balls or sticks from the ground. (8)

 

QUICK TIP: Pets naturally scavenge, and can get those furry coats awfully dirty in the process! Protect and clean your pets this spring with GARNER’S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC PET SHAMPOO! (9)

 

Though spring offers many potential concerns for you and your pet, it’s also important that you take the time to consider those dangers that affect you year round. One of these lesser-known concerns for your pet is chewing gum, which can hurt your pet, along with other sticky substances.

Though all pets need to be monitored, pay special attention to Labrador retrievers, who are extra susceptible at ingesting certain poisonous substances that can lead to short and long term health problems, as well as calls to poison control centers. (10)

A common food that can be dangerous to your pet is chocolate. Chocolate is even more common in spring, with holidays and warmer weather leading to the widespread tasting of this delicious sweet. Both lilies and chocolate should warrant calls to poison control centers and vets. (11)
