1. Analysis of pet health risks in spring and autumn


In spring and autumn, the temperature changes greatly and the humidity fluctuates frequently. Pets are prone to the following health problems:

  • High incidence of skin diseases: As humidity rises in spring, fungal reproduction accelerates, and the incidence of pet skin diseases increases by about 30%.
  • Increased allergic reactions: The concentration of allergens such as pollen and dust mites increases in autumn, and about 20% of pets will experience symptoms such as sneezing and itchy skin.
  • Parasites are active: Fleas and ticks multiply vigorously in spring and autumn, and the risk of infection for pets is 50% higher than in winter.
  • Respiratory diseases caused by temperature difference: When the temperature difference between day and night exceeds 10℃, the chance of catching a cold in puppies and elderly cats increases by 40%.


2. Key Nursing Measures


  • Strengthen insect repellent and skin disease prevention


Analysis: Pets that are not dewormed regularly are three times more likely to be infected with parasites than those that are dewormed regularly.

Recommendation: Use external anthelmintic once a month, and it is recommended to add a medicated bath (low-allergy formula) in spring.


  • Diet adjustment and allergy management

The dryness in autumn can easily cause constipation in pets, so they need to increase their water intake; in spring, Omega-3 can be supplemented to reduce skin inflammation.

Data: Among pets with allergies, 60% can improve their symptoms by eating hypoallergenic food.


  • Temperature Difference Adaptation and Exercise Management


Recommendation: Avoid going out in the morning and evening, and choose to go out during the warmer hours of the afternoon; it is recommended that elderly dogs wear warm clothes.
Case: Statistics in autumn show that the cold rate of Chihuahuas that are not kept warm is 35% higher than that of the warm-keeping group.


  • Environmental cleaning and disinfection


Key point: Clean the pet bed mat every week and use pet-specific disinfectant (84 disinfectant is toxic to cats).


3.Conclusion


In spring and autumn, pet care should be based on "disease prevention", focusing on three core issues: deworming, diet, and temperature difference. According to data from pet hospitals, the disease rate of pets that implement the above measures can be reduced by more than 50%. Owners should make personalized adjustments based on the pet's breed and age, and consult a veterinarian when necessary.
