Spring Allergies in Dogs

As the weather warms up, your doodle will be eager to get outside. Spring offers the perfect time for long walks, hikes, and nature walks in parks or trails. Here are a few tips for spring outings:

  • Paw Protection: With the change in weather, the ground can still be cold or wet, so it’s important to check your doodle’s paws for debris, ice, or snow that might have accumulated. If you’re walking on hot pavement, consider dog booties to protect their paws from burns.

  • Hydration: Spring can bring warmer weather, so always carry water for both you and your doodle during outdoor activities. Dogs can get overheated quickly, especially when they’re excited about exploring, so keep them hydrated and take breaks in the shade.

  • Wildlife Awareness: Spring also brings out new wildlife. Keep an eye on your doodle when hiking or walking in nature to avoid encounters with animals like rabbits, squirrels, or even snakes. Doodles are curious by nature, and a little too much curiosity can lead to trouble.

These season changes bring so many new and fun opportunities for you and your Australian Labradoodles to enjoy. Have fun exploring with your CVL dogs and send us pictures of your springtime adventures!

What is a multi-generational Australian Labradoodle?

Multi-generational Australian Labradoodles are a cross between many different parent breeds. The breed originated in Australia in the 1980s with the intent of creating an allergy-friendly service dog for the blind. Australian Labradoodles are a combination of a Poodle, Labrador Retriever, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, and Irish Water dogs. These breeds were hand-selected for specific breed qualities to create the ideal service dog for those with allergies. Since then, the breed has continued on and spread across the world. Australian Labradoodles are now considered their own breed with its own breed clubs (ALAA and WALA).
