Get your pets ready for the warmer weather

See some common spring and summer pet issues and ways to treat them.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Now that summer is here, that means flea and tick season is in full swing!  

Tonya Christiansen from Must Love Dogs Boutique and Spa in Grand Haven stopped by to talk with us about some common spring and summer issues and treatments for them:

  1. Flea and tick prevention and treatment: all natural spot-on essential oils, collars, shampoos, sprays to repel fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and biting flies;
  2. Achy joints and muscles from indoor inactivity during the winter: reintroducing dogs to activity slowly and rebuilding tolerance.  Anti-inflammatory treatment: CBD, golden paste supplement (turmeric), and "Aches and Pains" product for pain management;
  3. Doggy digestive issues: dogs tend to eat things that have been sitting all winter causing digestive upset.  How to prepare and handle upset doggy tummies with pumpkin fiber supplement, fermented raw goats milk, and bone broth.
