The best way to kick up your pet owner loyalty and stimulate referrals is to leave a lasting impression and share in the concern for the well-being of their pets.

With the new season upon us, why not try sharing some of these Springtime tips for pets and pet owners.

• Make sure your pets are protected with flea, tick and heartworm treatments and are up-to-date on vaccinations.

• Keep identification on your pet at all times and make certain that the information is current and legible.

• Springtime means spring showers and sprinklers which can leave puddles of standing water. Try not to let your dog drink out of puddles, as standing water can be filled with bacteria leading to gastrointestinal upset or ailments.

• Just like us, our pets have allergies too. If you notice obvious signs of allergies like swollen eyes, frequent scratching, fur/skin conditions or sneezing, you may want to take your pet to the vet to explore those allergy symptoms.

• Grooming is not just about vanity. Keeping your pet clean and groomed prevents skin irritations, fleas and ticks and keeps his temperature regulated. Make sure his nails are trimmed but not too short.

• The outdoors is not the only thing pets get a fever for in the spring. Springtime is mating season! Make sure your pet is spayed or neutered so that they don’t contribute to the overpopulation problem.

When sharing these tips, send pet owners home with veterinary promotional items. This combination lets pet owners know you truly care for the well-being of their pet and the veterinary promotional items give them a convenient tool to have contact information handy to pass on to family and friends.
