This article discusses the issues and countermeasures that should be paid attention to in raising pets during the Spring Festival from the following aspects.
1. Seasonal shedding: Spring is the pet's shedding period, and a large amount of hair will fall off. Owners should regularly comb their pets' hair to reduce floating and shedding fur, in order to maintain a clean home environment. At the same time, you can prepare some hair changing products or cat grass to help pets eliminate hair and reduce digestive problems caused by hair ball syndrome.
2. Extracorporeal deworming: In spring, everything recovers and parasites become active. Owners should regularly deworming their pets to prevent parasitic infections. The frequency of deworming can be determined based on the specific situation of the pet.
3. Calcium supplementation and nutrition: Spring is an important period for pet bone development and growth.

You can choose calcium supplements specifically designed for pets and nutritious foods.
4. Caring for the gastrointestinal tract: In spring, there is a large temperature difference between day and night, making pets prone to catching a cold and experiencing gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting and diarrhea.

5. Regular disinfection: Spring is a high season for pet diseases, and owners should regularly disinfect their pets' food bowls, toilets, litter mats, toys, and other items to prevent bacterial growth and disease transmission. Meanwhile, maintaining indoor ventilation and dryness can also help reduce the growth of bacteria.
6. Preventing colds: In spring, the temperature changes frequently, and pets are prone to catching colds. Owners should pay attention to the physical condition of their pets. Once they notice symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, and other cold symptoms, they should seek medical treatment in a timely manner.
7.

Special attention should be paid to the prevention of urinary diseases in cats. Moderate increase in exercise and water intake for dogs and cats can pose a life-threatening risk if urinary diseases are not taken seriously.
