As the seasons shift, your dog may experience changes linked to environmental triggers that flare up in warmer months. While these reactions are common, there are natural, gut-friendly ways to support your dog’s seasonal wellness, starting from the inside out.

One popular approach more pet parents are turning to is the use of probiotics for dogs. These beneficial bacteria provide support for normal digestive function and enhance the immune response to seasonal allergies.

What are Dog Seasonal Allergies, Really?

When we talk about “dog seasonal allergies,” we’re referring to occasional discomfort linked to pollen, grass, dust, mold, and other environmental factors. Just like you, some dogs react more strongly during spring and summer. Dogs exposed to higher levels of pollen and other seasonal allergies may benefit from additional support.

Why Gut Health Matters in Seasonal Transitions

Most pet parents don’t immediately associate digestive health with seasonal sensitivities, but the two are closely linked. Your dog’s gut is home to a large part of their immune system. That means supporting healthy digestion may also support their natural defenses against seasonal challenges.

Honest Paws Probiotics for Dogs contains Bacillus Subtilis DE111®, a well-studied strain known to support healthy immune function. 

This formula helps:

• Maintain proper gut pH, 

• Support a healthy intestinal environment 

• Maintain normal stool consistency during times of dietary changes or environmental stress.

Tips to Support Your Dog’s Wellness During Seasonal Changes

Probiotics are a valuable part of your pet’s wellness toolkit, but they’re most helpful when used in conjunction with a few simple practices as daily habits.

1. Wipe Paws After Walks

Environmental elements like pollen or dust can collect on your dog’s paws and fur. Wiping their paws with a damp cloth after walks can help remove them. 

2. Bathe with Gentle Shampoo

A weekly or bi-weekly bath using a mild shampoo can help remove build-up. Be sure to avoid over-bathing, as it may dry out your dog’s coat. Only use gentle, pet-friendly formulas, like Honest Paws 5-in-1 Dog Shampoo.

3. Keep Bedding and Floors Clean

Regularly wash your dog’s bedding and vacuum common hangout areas to help maintain a cleaner space, free from excessive pollen or dust.

4. Regular Hydration is Key

Ensure your dog has access to plenty of fresh water at all times, especially after walks and playtime during warmer months when they may feel thirstier.

When to Consult a Vet

If your dog shows signs of seasonal discomfort that seem consistent, it’s always a good idea to check in with your veterinarian. They can help rule out other concerns and offer additional strategies for supporting wellness.
