If you’re like me, you find a certain joy in presenting your fur-baby with a new toy, or the perfect size bone for gnawing away the warm afternoon. But what about the stuff that’s good for them? Just as we’re sprucing up our own lives with a better fitness routine or an upgraded skincare regimen, it’s time to really care for our pets. Seasonal allergies, muddy paws, and increased outdoor time are part of their lives as the temperatures warm, so here are 7 springtime pet essentials to keep your pets healthy, happy, and ready to bloom alongside you this season.
Springtime Pet Essentials
🌎 1. Earth Rated Dog Wipes – Perfect for Post-Adventure Cleanups
These hypoallergenic wipes are a lifesaver after a muddy spring walk or a spontaneous backyard dig. Infused with soothing aloe and shea butter, Earth Rated Dog Wipes gently clean your dog’s paws, coat, and even those hard-to-reach spots. I keep a pack in my mudroom and another in the car – because let’s face it, messes happen. Bonus: they’re biodegradable and smell divine.
🐶 2. Furminator deShedding Tool – Tame the Spring Shedding Storm
It’s shedding season, and if your home is starting to resemble a fur factory, the Furminator deShedding Tool is a game-changer. The Furminator gently removes loose hair from your pet’s undercoat without hurting their skin. I’ve used it on Oscar, and not only does it reduce shedding, but it also leaves his coat looking so sleek. It’s a top spring pet essential for grooming during these warmer months.
🫧 3. Vet’s Best Seasonal Allergy Relief – Support for Itchy Pets
Just like us, pets can suffer from spring allergies too – imagine sneezing, scratching, and watery eyes, but with no thumbs for blowing noses or wiping eyes. Vet’s Best Seasonal Allergy Relief offers a natural solution made with nettle leaf and perilla seed that soothes seasonal discomfort. My neighbor swears by this for her poodle mix, and I’ve seen a noticeable difference in her pup’s comfort level. If your pet seems extra itchy this season, this could be the gentle solution you’re looking for.
🎒 4. OneTigris Dog Backpack – Perfect for Spring Hiking Adventures
If your pup loses their mind when you grab the leash for a walk, imagine the fun you’ll both have as you strap on their personal backpack for a hiking adventure! The OneTigris Dog Backpack is a durable and versatile pack designed for medium and large dogs, ideal for hiking, training, and outdoor adventures. Constructed with breathable mesh lining, it features two spacious side pouches with hidden zippers and external bungee cords for carrying essentials like water, treats, and gear. Plus, cuteness. If you’re an “outside girl,” this might be the best spring pet essential you score!
💩 5. Rocco & Roxie Stain & Odor Eliminator – For Those Spring “Oops” Moments
Warmer weather can sometimes mean muddy paws on the carpet – or worse, accidents from all the excitement. I’ve tried them all, and this enzymatic cleaner really works! The Rocco & Roxie Stain & Odor Eliminator is tough on stains and safe for pets and fabrics. I’ve used it on everything from rugs to upholstery, and it’s never let me down. Trust me, it’s worth having on hand before the next mess happens.
💧6. PetSafe Drinkwell Fountain – Keep Pets Hydrated During Outdoor Play
As your pet gets more active in the spring sunshine, hydration is the #1 spring pet essential. If your dog or cat is like mine, they can lap up an entire bowl of fresh water in an instant, and you won’t know they’re all out. So how to keep their drinking water flowing on warm days? The PetSafe Drinkwell Fountain encourages pets to drink more with its motion water design, which helps prevent kidney and urinary issues. My cat was always picky about her water bowl until this came along. (She also bathes in it, to the dog’s chagrin.) Now I can’t keep her away from it! BONUS: This model holds 168 ounces.
🐾 7. Musher’s Secret Paw Wax – Shield Paws from Harsh Surfaces
Whether it’s hot sidewalks, allergens, or rough terrain, your pet’s paws take a beating in the spring. Musher’s Secret Paw Wax is a natural wax that creates a protective barrier without the mess. I apply it before our longer walks and have noticed fewer paw issues and way more tail wags. It’s especially helpful if your pet has dry or cracked pads. For me and my fur-baby, application time is bonding time – we all like to feel pampered!
