When the rain starts pouring, it’s not just our shoes that get soaked. The rainy season can pose serious risks to our beloved fur babies, too. While cats often stay indoors, they’re not completely safe from the rainy season health hazards. 

Here are some rainy-day dangers every pawrent should watch out for:

Leptospirosis & Waterborne Illnesses

More common in dogs, leptospirosis is a bacterial infection from contaminated puddles and floodwaters. Unfortunately, cats can also be exposed as they come sniffing around wet shoes or floors. Clean those paws and keep them indoors!

Fungal Skin Infections

Damp environments can cause itchy, uncomfortable skin infections in both cats and dogs. Dry your pets after they get wet and maintain a clean, dry space for them.

Respiratory Issues

Your pet’s sudden chills from getting soaked or sleeping in damp spots can lead to colds, sneezing, and in worse cases, pneumonia. A warm, cozy spot and health-boosting products like Maxime will help keep their immunity strong.

Fleas & Ticks Galore

Rainy season is also flea season. Moisture creates a breeding ground for these pesky parasites. Regular grooming and anti-flea routines are a must during these days.

Pawrent Pro Tip: Nutrition plays a big role in boosting your pet’s immunity. A well-fed pet is better equipped to handle rainy season nasties. That’s why Maxime’s premium nutrition formulation is your rainy-day partner, keeping your purr baby happy, healthy, and safe.
