Prepare Your Dog for Spring

Freshen Up Their Coat with a Grooming Session at Winding Road Kennel

Winter often leaves your dog’s coat dull and full of loose fur. A spring grooming helps remove dead hair and keeps skin healthy. At Winding Road Kennel, our grooming team trims, baths, and brushes your pup to get them spring-ready.

Schedule a Vet Visit to Stay on Top of Health

Prepare your dog for spring by scheduling a vet visit. Spring brings fleas, ticks, and allergies. Book a check-up to update your dog’s flea and tick prevention and make sure vaccines are current. Discuss any seasonal allergy symptoms you notice, like itching or watery eyes.

Put a Spring in Your Dog’s Step with Tips from Winding Road Kennel

Spring is the perfect time to get back into a regular exercise routine. Start with short walks and gradually build up to longer outings to help your pup ease out of winter hibernation. Whether it’s a game of fetch in the yard or a stroll through your neighborhood, your dog will love the fresh air and extra time with you. A little movement each day goes a long way in keeping tails wagging and energy levels balanced.

Clean Out Their Gear for the New Season

Inspect leashes, collars, harnesses, and ID tags. Replace worn gear and ensure everything fits properly. Clean out old bedding and toys to remove dirt, allergens, and any lingering winter germs.

Refresh Their Diet with Lighter, Seasonal Treats

As you prepare your dog for spring, consider switching up their snacks. Trade heavy winter treats for lighter, nutrient-rich options like crunchy carrots or dog-safe fruits. Just like us, dogs enjoy a little variety when the seasons change!
