As pet care professionals, we want to help you understand your dog’s natural instincts—especially when it comes to behaviors that might seem unpredictable. One key concept in dog behavior is the predatory sequence, which is hardwired into their instincts. Even though our pets are domesticated, these behaviors can still surface in different ways.

As early spring arrives, the earth awakens with the songs of birds. Their chorus grows louder as the air warms and nature comes alive with budding trees and emerging insects. These seasonal shifts remind us to stock up on Claritin, Allegra, and Benadryl as we brace for the pollen that May brings to our beautiful mountain community.

Like clockwork, we start noticing our pets experiencing their own allergic reactions. However, unlike our predictable sneezing and itchy eyes, their symptoms can be more subtle and mysterious. Just like us, our pets can suffer from allergies, and understanding the signs can help us keep them happy and comfortable.
