Not only do April showers bring May flowers, but they also bring a puddle of problems for our furry friends. When it rains, harmful substances like motor oil, fertilizers, pesticides, and other pollutants are washed off roads, sidewalks, and lawns into areas where dogs often walk or play. These toxic residues can cling to their paws or fur and may be accidentally ingested when they lick themselves. Plus, standing water can harbor bacteria or parasites that pose serious health risks. Symptoms of exposure can include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or skin irritation. So while the rain might freshen the air, it can leave behind some not-so-fresh dangers for our pups.
