As the snow melts and flowers bloom across the Treasure Valley, it’s the perfect time to refresh your dog’s grooming routine for spring. At Pet Spa Boise, we’re proud to serve pet parents from Boise, Garden City, Meridian, Eagle, and Kuna, helping keep pups of all breeds clean, comfortable, and happy as the seasons change.
1. Shedding Season: Manage the Fur
Spring often means increased shedding as dogs lose their winter coats. Regular brushing helps remove loose fur and reduces matting. For breeds prone to heavy shedding, consider scheduling a professional de-shedding treatment to keep your home and your pet’s coat tidy—especially helpful for active dogs in outdoor-friendly cities like Eagle and Meridian.
2. Paw Care: Protect Those Pads
With warmer weather, outdoor adventures around the Boise River Greenbelt or the foothills become more common. Be mindful of hot sidewalks or trails that can hurt your dog’s paw pads. Check regularly for cracks or injuries, and keep nails trimmed to ensure proper foot health—especially important for pups walking the sidewalks in Garden City or exploring the parks in Kuna.
3. Allergy Awareness: Watch for Reactions
Pollen counts can soar during spring in Boise and surrounding areas, and just like humans, dogs can suffer from seasonal allergies. If your dog is constantly scratching, has red eyes, or seems uncomfortable, regular baths with hypoallergenic shampoos can help. For persistent symptoms, be sure to consult your vet.
4. Ear Cleaning: Prevent Infections
All the extra outdoor play can bring dirt, moisture, and debris into your dog’s ears—especially in active breeds. Regular ear checks and professional cleaning help prevent infections, keeping dogs across Meridian, Eagle, and Boise healthy and happy.
5. Flea and Tick Prevention: Stay Proactive
As temperatures rise in Kuna and the rest of the valley, fleas and ticks become more active. Make sure your dog is on a vet-recommended flea and tick preventative, and always check their coat after time spent outdoors.
6. Hydration and Skin Health: Keep Them Moisturized
Hydration is key, whether you’re hiking the Boise foothills or strolling through your neighborhood in Garden City. Provide plenty of fresh water and consider skin-nourishing treats or supplements like omega fatty acids to keep their coat shiny and skin healthy.
