Springtime Pet Care

3/20/2013

As spring returns, your companion probably wants to get out more. There are a few things to be aware of as the weather warms up. These pet tips should help with your springtime pet care.

Allergies - Check for watery eyes and sneezing as an early warning sign that your pet may have allergies.
Parasites - After a long winter hibernation, flea, tick and heartworm larvae are back for more. Protect your pets!
Windows - Make sure your screens are secure. Many pets can escape through or be injured while exiting damaged screens as we air out the house.
Easter - Keep your Easter chocolates and Easter grass out of reach! They are a big no-no for both dogs and cats.
Flowers - Budding flowers look great, but many of them do not agree with canine or feline tummies.
Chemicals - Secure your cleaning products as you refresh your house. Uncapped cleaning agents pose a big health risk to pets.
Automobiles - As the weather warms up, don't forget to crack the window before you head inside the store again!

Debra,
Pet Sitters Plus

I live in Gardnerville, NV and have owned my own pet sitting service since 1994. When I first entered this field there was not really anyone to turn to for help. Help on how to grow the business, no specialized forms to make life easy and no one to share the dos and the don'ts. No one to call. So I had to learn and create all my own stuff from scratch. I learned a lot of stuff the hard way. Well after 18 years, I have grown Pet Sitters Plus to well over 600 clients. I have created my own forms and have trained others in how to start, run and be a successful pet sitting service.
