Spring Pet Products

Spring is a wonderful time of year and a welcome relief from the cold weather of winter. The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and your pet might start to sneeze. Spring might be your favorite season—but it can bring unique pet needs and concerns. Pet parents should stock up on springtime pet products like flea and tick prevention and seasonal spring apparel when temperatures start to rise.

Protecting your pet against allergies, pests and wet feet may keep them happier in the spring. Of course, they’ll also need some fun toys and supplies to help them enjoy nicer weather outside with their pet parents. You can find everything from springtime pet supplements to raincoats for pets at Petco, and some spring essentials are also useful all year round.

How do you prepare for the change of seasons? First, you will likely want to buy springtime pet supplies that can help prepare for spring showers. Stylish and durable rainboots and raincoats are great options for dogs who go on walks. Of course, it can’t hurt to find car seat covers to protect your vehicle against wet pets in case they get carried away.

Spring also brings more than rain, and edible allergy aids for pets who sneeze or cough in the springtime are also useful. Because pollen is often visible floating in the air—and because you’re dormant allergies might’ve suddenly reemerged—you may realize that pets have different needs in the spring. Pet allergies may materialize as coughing and sneezing, or your pet may have a thinning coat and itchy skin. The abrupt change in temperatures in some climates results in specific springtime needs. You may find that springtime dog supplements are useful.

Allergies don’t always show themselves in the form of coughing and sneezing. If your pet has springtime allergies, they may develop skin problems. Shampoo for sensitive skin can often relieve some symptoms. You may also want to invest in other spring essentials for pets for grooming, including quick-dry travel towels to clean up wet paws and hair, dog shampoo for shedding pups and deshedding brushes and tools to clean up excess hair.

Fleas and ticks may also be a bigger risk for pets in the spring—especially if you live in an area known for its vegetation and sprawling nature, as these are breeding grounds for parasites. You can help protect your pet against pest bites and associated diseases by delivering monthly flea and tick treatments—spring essentials for pets, no matter where they live. These treatments are usually painless and applied to the back of the neck. Read about How Flea Treatment Options Work to learn more.

While your dog or cat may be prone to more health issues in the spring—as well as rainy weather—there will be sunny days, too. Help prepare your pets for the outdoors with springtime pet supplies that maximize fun. You can start with new cat and dog doors that give you more control over outdoor access when the weather is unpredictable. Keep your kitty entertained with cat trees, playgrounds and houses designed for outdoor use. If you and your pup like going for hikes, you can find doggie water bottles for warm days and backpacks to hold their favorite toys.
