Spring is finally here! The days are getting longer, the flowers are blooming, and the sun is making a glorious comeback. If you share your home with a dog or cat, you already know that spring time means one thing: absolute chaos.
Between muddy paw prints, shedding fur, and pets suddenly thinking they’re professional outdoor explorers, there’s a lot to love (and clean up) this season.
Dog and cat owners, brace yourselves – shedding season is in full swing. Your pet’s winter coat is officially on its way out, which means your furniture, clothes, and probably your food will be covered in a fine layer of fluff. Frequent brushing can help keep the fur tornado under control, and a good vacuum is your best friend right now.
Spring time walks are magical. The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and your dog is determined to sniff every single blade of grass in the park. But with great outdoor fun comes great responsibility – keep an eye out for seasonal hazards like ticks, fleas, and toxic plants. And if you’ve got a cat who loves a little outdoor time, now is the perfect season to enrich their experience with supervised garden adventures or a cosy sunbathing spot by the window
Spring showers bring May flowers – and also bring a whole lot of mud. If your dog sees a puddle, there’s a 99% chance they’re going to charge through it like a tiny four-legged tornado. Keep some towels by the door, and maybe accept that your floors will never be clean again until summer.
It’s the perfect time for a deep clean, but don’t forget to include your pet’s belongings. Wash their bedding, sanitise their toys, and check their collars and leashes for wear and tear. And if you’re decluttering, don’t be surprised if your cat finds new joy in every empty box and bag you try to get rid of.
After months of chilly weather, both you and your pet are probably ready for more activity. Whether it’s longer dog walks, interactive games for your indoor cat, or even a bit of agility training in the back garden, spring is the perfect time to shake off the winter laziness and have some fun together.
Spring is all about fresh starts and new adventures, and who better to enjoy it with than your four-legged best friend? So grab that lint roller, stock up on treats, and get ready for a season full of sunshine, snuggles, and just a little bit of mess.
We hope that you have a glorious spring!
