Mud Season Is Back, Baby!

Ah yes, Baltimore’s early spring: sunshine, blossoms… and legendary mud. While puddle‑jumping is peak joy, muddy conditions can sneak in some less‑fun health issues, especially for paws, ears, and skin folds.

Mud‑season trouble spots:

• Paw infections from damp, irritated skin

• Ear infections after splashy play

• Hot spots from trapped moisture under fur

• Slips on wet decks or tile after bath time

Pro mud management:

• Towel‑dry paws and between toes after outings

• Keep ear flaps dry (especially floppy‑eared pals)

• Use entry mats or a rinse station at home

• Trim excess fur around paws to reduce moisture hold

Notice redness, odor, itching, or head‑shaking? Early treatment prevents bigger issues—and keeps your adventure buddy comfy for the next puddle safari. Swan Harbor Pet Urgent Care is your mud‑season pit crew.
