Spring is the season where everyone likes to enjoy the outdoors and have some fun. Long walks, hikes, pool parties and beach days are a part of the schedule. If you own a pet dog, it is probably going to accompany you on your spring adventures.

Dogs are playful creatures that love the outdoors; they love spending time with their owners and engaging in various activities. Because they are nosy little wanderers, they need supervision and care. They can get a little carried away with excitement, and this may be dangerous for their well-being.

Seasonal Allergies
These allergies are as real for your furry companion as they are for you. Ragweed is a common seasonal plant that can cause allergies in dogs. Most dogs are affected that are affected by allergies show signs on the surface of their skin. They can also easily fall victim to inhaled allergies from pollen or grass. If your dog is already allergic mites or dust, you need to take extra care and administer medicine before the symptoms get worse.

Prevention
Your dog needs to be on a preventative regimen for ticks and fleas. The chances of getting affected by heartworm increase during springtime and this can be very challenging for your dog to deal with.
