Maintaining Pet Health in April: Tips for Seasonal Wellness | Bethel Pet Hospital

While April may not be synonymous with spring in every region, it still brings unique challenges and opportunities for pet owners. From potential weather changes to seasonal activities, it's essential to stay proactive in caring for your pet's health. Let's explore some key areas to focus on this April to ensure your pet thrives.

Tips for Seasonal Wellness:

Flea and Tick Prevention:

April marks the beginning of flea and tick season in many areas. Ensure your pet is protected with vet-approved flea and tick prevention methods, such as topical treatments or oral medications. Regularly check your pet for signs of infestation and consult with your veterinarian for the most effective prevention strategies.

Maintain Exercise Routines:

As the weather warms up, take advantage of the opportunity to engage in outdoor activities with your pet. Maintain regular exercise routines to keep your pet active and healthy. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or exploring new trails, staying active is crucial for your pet's physical and mental well-being.

Dental Care:

April is an excellent time to focus on your pet's dental health. Schedule a dental check-up with your veterinarian to assess your pet's oral hygiene and address any potential issues. Incorporate dental care into your pet's daily routine by brushing their teeth regularly and providing dental chews or toys to promote oral health.

Allergy Awareness:

Just like humans, pets can experience allergies, with symptoms ranging from itching and sneezing to gastrointestinal upset. Pay attention to any signs of allergies in your pet, such as scratching, licking, or inflamed skin. Consult with your veterinarian to identify potential allergens and develop a treatment plan to alleviate your pet's symptoms.
