Heading into the weekend sometimes means weekend chores! One important task to tackle is keeping your pet's water bowl clean.

Remember, a clean water bowl helps avoid bacteria buildup, keeping your pet healthy and happy. Adding this simple task to your weekend routine provides a healthy environment for both you and your pet!

And don't forget, regular vet visits are essential too! Routine check-ups help spot both health issues early and ensure your pet gets the care they need for a long, happy life with you!

With springtime (and pollen season!) in full bloom, so are the allergies for our furry friends! Here are a few quick tips to keep them comfortable and minimize allergies:

- Hygiene is key! Use a soothing pet shampoo like Aloe and Oatmeal, wash bedding and toys regularly, wipe your pet down after outdoor play, and trim long fur on paws.
- Limit outdoor time and keep windows shut on high pollen days.
- If your pet seems to be scratching more than normal, give us a call to see how we can help. It's important to assess and treat your pet before seasonal allergies turn into a skin or ear infection.

Let's keep our pets happy and less itchy this spring!
