Spring Pet Care

With the first day of spring just around the corner most peoples minds are on warmer weather but little thought is put towards the needs of there pets this time of year.  Along with the warmer weather comes fleas and ticks so make sure you are stocked up on your Frontline to help protect for your pet and to check your pet daily for any sign of these little bugs.  Shedding can be a major issue this time of year so don't forget to make an appointment for you dog to be groomed and ask about the Shedicure service to help reduce the amount of hair your dog will leave in you house.  While you are outside doing you spring clean up remember that most gardening tools are sharp so leave them in such a way that a curious pet does not get hurt.  Also be aware of any fertilizers and/or pesticides you use on your lawn and garden which may be harmful to your pets.  Look for brands that say veterinarian or EPA certified.  Finally don't leave you pet unattended in a car.  This puts you pet in danger of heat stroke which can come on very quickly.  Leaving a window open will not protect them from this and only tempts them to jump out.

We had a great Meet Up Group yesterday, Saturday March 6th.  A whopping 23 furry friends showed up to run, sniff, play, kiss, and bark!!  Both pets and their loving owners had an awesome time.  Moms and Dads enjoyed some coffee and donuts while their four legged loved ones scampered about making new friends and reconnecting with fellow frequent fliers.  :)  Look at the photos below to see the fun and make a note to definitely stop by in the future.  Check back here at the Best Friends Bethany Blog to see when the next Meet Up will be scheduled.
