Tips to Help Your Dog
Wipe Their Paws After Walks
Pollen and grass can stick to your dog's paws and coat. Wipe them down with a damp cloth or pet-safe grooming wipes after spending time outdoors.
Bathe Your Dog Regularly
Occasional baths with a dog-friendly shampoo can help remove allergens from your dog's coat. Avoid over-bathing, which can dry out the skin.
Keep Bedding Clean
Wash your dog's bed, blankets, and favorite toys regularly to reduce allergens inside your home.
Vacuum Frequently
Vacuum carpets and furniture often to remove pollen, dust, and pet hair that may trigger irritation
Keep Your Dog Hydrated
Fresh water helps support your dog's overall health, especially during warmer months.
