Spring Tips and Lawn Safety for Your Dog

Spring in the Okanagan is a bit of everything at once. One day it feels like summer is on its way, the next we are still dealing with rain or hail. It is a season of more time in the yard and a bit more mess along the way.

That is where Poo Worx comes in. We help keep your yard clean and manageable so you can actually enjoy the space instead of constantly keeping up with it.

We greatly appreciate you as a Poo Worx customer, and would love to hear your feedback. Take our Customer Survey and be entered to win a free month of service!

Spring is not just for your house and yard, your dog’s everyday items need a reset too.

  • Wash collars and harnesses to remove built up bacteria and odour

  • Clean food and water bowls more frequently as temperatures rise

  • Rinse or replace outdoor toys that have been sitting in wet grass or dirt

  • Check bedding for lingering smells or dampness

  • Wipe down leashes, especially after muddy walks or park visits

Small resets like these help reduce odor in the home and keep your dog more comfortable as the weather warms up.

Spring lawns often come with treatments, fertilizers, and weed control products, but not all of them are dog friendly right away.

  • Many treatments require a drying or waiting period before pets can safely return

  • Fertilizers can irritate paws and cause stomach upset if ingested

  • Even organic products can be risky when freshly applied

  • Always check product labels before letting dogs onto treated grass

A clean, well maintained yard is only safe if you know what has been applied and when.
