2. Increase in spider/snake bites - Due to higher temperatures and an increase outdoor activities spiders and snake bites are now a danger to your dog. Spider bites can cause necrotic lesions and allergic reactions, while snake bites can lead to severe pain, swelling, and life-threatening complications
3. Grass seeds causing irritation - Your pet may love bounding through the long grass but remember, during spring and early summer these grasses are seeding and these will get everywhere. The seeds pose no serious danger to your pet but they can be very uncomfortable and can easily get stuck in ears, muzzles and down their airways. Always check at the end of a walk and remove any seeds that you see.
