Spring Reset: How to Refresh Your Dog’s Routine for a New Season of Adventures
Share
After months of cozy blankets and indoor naps, spring is finally here — and your dog feels it too.
The scent of new grass, longer daylight, and warmer trails all signal one thing: it’s time to reset.
Here’s how to refresh your dog’s routine so you both can step into the new season with energy, health, and joy 🌸
1. Clean the Gear, Clear the Space
Start with a little spring cleaning.
Wash collars, harnesses, and blankets. Wipe down leashes, bowls, and travel gear.
A fresh setup makes every outing feel new again.
🧼 Tip: Check for wear on harness buckles and replace any frayed leashes before your next adventure.
2. Update the Health Routine
Spring means more time outdoors — and that means ticks, pollen, and allergies.
Book a quick vet check for updated vaccines and flea/tick prevention.
🌿 Keep a small “trail kit” with wipes, spray, and paw balm for on-the-go care.
3. Rebuild Stamina Slowly
If winter walks were short and sweet, don’t jump straight into long hikes.
Ease into it. Start with short morning strolls and build up distance each week.
🏃♂️ Just like us, dogs need to stretch and strengthen again after a slower season.
4. Add Mental Adventures Too
New sights, smells, and textures excite your dog’s brain.
Try short training games, scent tracking, or exploring a new route together.
It keeps your walks balanced — both physically and mentally.
🪶 Even a new park can feel like a whole new world to your pup.
5. Celebrate with a Little Adventure
Choose one day to go somewhere special — a lake, a trail, or even a pet-friendly café patio.
Bring snacks, water, and your dog’s favorite toy.
It’s not just a walk; it’s a reset for both of you.
☀️ Spring is nature’s way of saying: “Start again.”
Every season brings a new rhythm, and spring’s is all about renewal.
With fresh air, open trails, and an open heart, your dog will remind you — adventure doesn’t have to be big to be beautiful.
