Pet adoption is a great idea year-round, but the springtime is especially wonderful.
Once the weather becomes warm, pet owners are quick to hit the beach, park and hiking trails with their dogs.
While some might see summer as a prime opportunity to get outside and play with their pets, fall can be just as fun for animals.
Whether you own a dog or a cat, spring is the time of year when you'll be noticing plenty of excess pet hair on your furnishings.
As August bears down with a few final gusts of heat, you might want to consider bringing your dog to the groomer's one last time before the autumn coat comes in.
While some dogs take to the water like ducks - leaping off docks, paddling their way after tennis balls or even swimming alongside you - others won't let it near them.
Does your pet disappear when the clippers come out?
Regular grooming and bathing is an important part in keeping your dog healthy.
