Spring walks with your pet

Longer days and warmer temperatures encourage more frequent and longer walks, which also require special attention and preparation. Here are some practical tips that will help you enjoy time together with your pet without unnecessary surprises.

1.Check the equipment

Before the first spring walk, it is worth carefully checking the condition of the leash, collar and harness. Make sure all buckles and fasteners work properly and the fabric is not frayed or damaged anywhere. It is very important. Remember that your pet’s safety is the most important thing, and the condition of the equipment is the only chance to protect it from an unexpected and unpleasant incident. A wide range of walking accessories is available in Maxi Zoo stores – https://www.maxizoo.pl/c/pies/spacery/.

2. Take care of proper protection against ticks

Although protective measures should be used all year round, spring is the time when ticks are most active. Take care of appropriate prevention by using effective preparations. Protective tablets, drops, lotions, sprays or anti-tick collars – there are many possibilities. You will find a wide range of preparations in Maxi Zoo stores – https://www.maxizoo.pl/promocje-oferty/kleszcze-pchly/. Qualified Maxi Zoo employees will help you choose the best product for your pet. If your pet requires specialized care, it is worth consulting a veterinarian.

3. Always have water at hand

Spring often brings mixed weather. Sometimes rain, sometimes high temperature. Remember that your pet has constant access to fresh water during long walks. In this case, special portable bottles and travel bowls will work great. These handy and practical products will certainly help you keep your pet properly hydrated.

4. Be prepared for different conditions

Spring days can be capricious, and the weather can change from minute to minute. Keep this in mind when deciding on a longer walk. Just in case, take a raincoat with you for your pet. It will protect it from getting wet and the temperature dropping.

5. Adjust your diet

A more active lifestyle in spring may require adapting your pet’s diet. If you increase the number and intensity of walks, your dog may need more energy. In order to change the diet to meet your pet’s needs, it is best to consult a veterinarian. The specialist will advise you on what dietary changes will be best, and Maxi Zoo employees will help you choose the right product.

6. Remember to have fun

Take advantage of the long spring days and diversify your walks. Use this time to teach your dog new commands or improve existing commands, just in more distracting circumstances. Remember to always reward your pet for good behaviour – positive reinforcement and motivation will translate into the effectiveness of training. Special pouches are perfect for storing prizes in the form of delicacies. Other times, you can take your pet’s favourite toys with you and engage him in crazy outdoor games. Your dog will surely be delighted with the variety and lack of boredom. Need inspiration?

7. Cleanliness is the basis

Regardless of the season, one of the basic items of the walking layette should be excrement bags. Using them is one of the key elements of being a responsible dog owner, especially during spring walks when you spend more time outside. Regular use of excrement bags not only helps maintain cleanliness in public places, but also shows respect for other residents and users of the space. Remember that a clean and green environment is a common good.

Spring walks are a fantastic opportunity to spend time together and enjoy outdoor activities. Remember that the key to safety and comfort is proper preparation. By taking care of the equipment, protection against parasites, hygiene, proper diet and hydration, you will provide yourself and your dog with many unforgettable moments during spring adventures.
