Spring is around the corner… and so are the ticks and fleas! 🌱🛡️

Don’t wait until the warmer weather hits. A pre-spring tick and flea dip (or full protective treatment) is one of the smartest things you can do for your dog right now.

As temperatures start rising, parasite activity increases rapidly.

Treating early helps:
• Kill existing fleas and ticks
• Break the life cycle before numbers explode
• Protect your dog (and home) ahead of peak season

At Furry Paws Secunda, we offer thorough tick & flea dips and treatments as part of our professional grooming services — so your dog leaves clean, protected, and ready for the season ahead.

Book your pre-spring tick & flea treatment today and stay one step ahead.

Labrador Retrievers are known for their friendly nature… and unfortunately, also for sensitive skin. 🐶

Many Labs are prone to eczema (atopic dermatitis) — a common allergic skin condition that causes itching, redness, dry patches, and secondary infections. Genetics, environmental allergens (pollen, dust mites, grass), and even food sensitivities play a role.

What you can do at home to help:
• Brush regularly to remove allergens and loose fur
• Wipe paws after walks to reduce pollen and grass contact
• Use gentle, hypoallergenic dog shampoos (avoid over-bathing)
• Keep bedding clean and wash it often
• Consider omega-3 supplements (ask your vet first)
• Watch for excessive licking or scratching and consult your vet early

What we can do at Furry Paws to help:
• Regular professional grooming to keep the coat clean and free of irritants
• Specialised medicated baths and soothing treatments
• Gentle de-shedding and skin-focused care tailored for sensitive Labs
• Early detection of hot spots or irritation during every groom

Healthy skin starts with consistent care. If your Lab is scratching more than usual, let’s work together to keep them comfortable.

Did you know? You can apply coconut oil to your dog’s paw pads and nose to help prevent winter dryness! ❄️🐾

As Secunda’s cooler, drier months arrive, paw pads can become cracked and noses can get dry and uncomfortable.

A little virgin coconut oil rubbed in gently:
• Moisturises and protects
• Soothes irritation
• Creates a natural barrier against cold and rough surfaces

Pro tip: Use a small amount and let it absorb. Always choose 100% pure coconut oil.

For full winter protection, combine this with a professional groom at Furry Paws. We trim paw fur, check skin health, and apply premium conditioning treatments to keep your dog comfortable all season.
