Spring Allergy Survival Guide for Dogs: Wrinkles, Paws & Nose Protection
Spring is a breath of fresh air, until the pollen flies around. While us humans can reach for tissues, our dogs may deal with seasonal allergies in their own itchy, uncomfortable ways. From red wrinkles to irritated paws and dry noses, spring can be tough on pups of all shapes and sizes. The good news? With the right dog care routine and products, you can help your dog enjoy the season itch-free. This guide is packed with easy dog care tips, simple diy grooming ideas, and targeted solutions to protect your dog’s wrinkles, paws, and nose all spring long.
Why Spring Is Allergy Season for Dogs
Just like people, dogs can be sensitive to pollen, grass, mold, and dust mites that pop up in the warmer months. These seasonal allergies often show up as:
-
Scratching, licking, or chewing
-
Red or smelly skin folds (especially on wrinkly dog breeds such as bulldogs and pugs)
-
Yeasty paws or toe cysts
-
Dry, cracked noses
Dogs with wrinkles or short snouts can be even more prone because allergens get trapped in folds and crevices. That’s why spring is the perfect time to refresh your diy grooming routine and level up your dog grooming products.
Wrinkle Care: Clean It to Keep It Calm
Wrinkly faces are adorable but they’re also magnets for pollen, dirt, and moisture. When allergens get trapped in skin folds, bacteria, yeast, and fungus can thrive.
Squishface Wrinkle Wipes are a spring must-have. They gently remove dirt and debris while helping fight bacteria, yeast, and fungus that can cause irritation and odor. Adding wrinkle cleaning to your diy grooming routine once a day can make a huge difference during seasonal allergies.
For an added bonus, consider applying Squishface Wrinkle Paste to your dog's wrinkles, tear stains, tail pockets, and paws to form a water-repellent barrier on the skin. This magical paste also contains natural ingredients such as coconut oil, shea butter, and avocado oil!
Pro Tip: After outdoor play, give your dog’s wrinkles (and paws!) a quick wipe-down. It’s one of the easiest dog care tips to reduce allergen buildup.
Paw Protection: The Hidden Allergy Hotspot
Your dog’s paws touch everything from grass and pollen, to damp sidewalks. That makes the space between the toes a prime spot for irritation and infection, especially during the change of seasons.
That’s where Squishface Toe Paste comes in. This all-natural formula is designed to keep paws dry, calm, and protected:
-
Moisturizes & Protects: Natural oils hydrate dry skin and form a barrier against moisture and bacteria.
-
Absorbs Moisture Fast: Kaolin clay and sodium bicarbonate pull excess dampness from between toes.
-
Soothes Irritated Skin: Shea butter, oregano oil, and sunflower seed oil calm discomfort.
-
Safe if Licked: Made with all-natural, lick-safe ingredients.
-
Fast-Drying, Non-Staining: No sticky mess or residue.
-
Prevents Infections & Cysts: Keeps hidden toe crevices dry and healthy.
-
Made in the USA: No harsh chemicals or mystery additives—ever.
Adding toe care to your diy grooming plan is one of the most overlooked dog care tips, yet it’s a game-changer for dogs with seasonal allergies.
Nose Know-How: Soft, Smooth, and Protected
Spring wind, sun, and allergens can dry out your dog’s nose fast. A dry nose isn’t just uncomfortable, it can crack and become more sensitive to allergens.
Squishface Nose Balm helps protect and nourish your dog’s snout using simple, effective ingredients like shea butter and berry seed oils. These ingredients lock in moisture, support healing, and create a gentle barrier against the elements.
