Your Dog Feels Seasonal Changes Too

Your Dog Feels Seasonal Changes Too—Here’s Help

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Spring is rolling in, and with it comes some big changes—wind, rain, pollen, and shifts in our daily routines.

You might notice your dog acting a little differently: maybe they’re more restless, scratching more than usual, or even reluctant to go outside.

Changes in temperature, humidity, and even your own schedule can impact your dog’s mood and behavior.
