"Spring offers new adventures for pets and their parents, but it also brings seasonal health challenges," said Matt Byrnes, senior vice president of merchandising at PetSmart. "At PetSmart, we understand that a healthy pet means a happy pet parent, and that's why we're committed to providing trusted products and resources so pets and their parents can make the most of this vibrant season."

It's important for pet parents to be aware of common health challenges their pets may experience during changing seasons as well. To help pets stay healthy this season, Dr. Jennifer Bruns, DVM, MPVM, of PetSmart Veterinary Services, shares key tips for common springtime concerns:

Got an itch? Treat it early:

Spring brings rising pollen counts and other airborne allergens that can affect pets. Unlike people, pets with seasonal allergies don't always sneeze or sniffle. Instead, they may show signs like redness, hives or irritated skin. If left untreated, these symptoms can lead to ongoing discomfort and restlessness. Pet parents can help manage flare-ups with simple, proactive care, including gentle, hypoallergenic shampoos for dogs and cats, soothing oatmeal wipes in between regular baths, and dietary supplements formulated to support healthy skin and coats.

Prevention is key for ticks and fleas:

Fleas, ticks, and other parasites thrive in warm weather, with peak activity from spring through fall, and are a leading cause of skin irritation in pets. The best defense is early, consistent prevention. Start flea & tick treatments at the beginning of spring and maintain a consistent product application schedule. And don't forget to regularly check pets for ticks, especially after outdoor activities.

Brush, brush, brush:

As pets shed their winter coats, regular brushing and bathing can help manage excess fur, support a healthy coat, and reduce allergens that cling to fur. For many breeds with heavier coats, removing loose undercoat also improves comfort and allows pet parents to get a closer look at the skin underneath. Tools like de-shedding brushes and undercoat rakes can make at-home grooming more effective, while professional grooming services offer a deeper clean between baths.

Don't forget about the ears:

Because pets' ears have less fur coverage, they give pet parents a good window into overall skin health, especially during spring allergy season. Allergens can easily settle on this exposed skin, leading to irritation if left unchecked. Regular use of ear wipes and cleansing drops can help keep ears clean, comfortable, and free of buildup.

When to seek veterinary care:

While these preventative steps can help keep pets healthy during the warmer months, some symptoms require professional attention. If you notice excessive itching, persistent redness, rashes or changes in your pet's behavior, it's important to consult your veterinarian for proper evaluation and care.
