Spring is finally here—and while you’re cleaning out closets and wiping down windows, don’t forget about your pet’s routine. A little spring refresh can go a long way in keeping your furry friend feeling their best. At Critters Pet Shop in South Elgin, we’re all about helping your pets look, feel, and smell amazing.
Here are five simple ways to give your pet the seasonal reset they deserve.
-
Book a Grooming Appointment
Winter can be rough on coats and skin. Give your pet a spa day with a full-service groom, bath, nail trim, or de-shedding treatment. Not only will they look cleaner, but regular grooming helps reduce shedding, prevent matting, and improve skin health. Trust us—your furniture will thank you.
-
Freshen Up Their Food
Check those expiration dates! If your pet’s food or treats have been sitting around for a while, it might be time for a fresh bag. We carry premium brands like American Natural Premium, Fromm, Identity, Nutrisource, Fromm, Dr. Marty’s and Zignature. A diet refresh can improve energy, digestion, and coat condition.
-
Wash (or Replace) Toys and Bedding
When was the last time your pet’s bed got a good wash? Spring is the perfect time to clean or replace worn-out beds, blankets, and soft toys. Look for signs of wear and tear—and consider rotating in some new enrichment toys to keep your pet mentally stimulated.
-
Clean Bowls, Collars, and Carriers
Don’t forget the little things. Water and food bowls should be scrubbed regularly to avoid bacteria buildup. Check your pet’s collar for frays or dirt and make sure ID tags are up to date. And if you use a carrier, give it a good wipe down before your next vet visit or road trip.

Stock Up on Spring Essentials
Fleas, ticks, and seasonal allergies often show up with spring weather. Ask our team about natural flea prevention and allergy support products. It’s also a great time to grab treats, training supplies, and chews to keep your pet active and happy.
