Monsoon Care Tips for Your Furry Friend
The monsoon season is here, bringing relief from the heat but also challenges for our pets. Here’s how to keep your dog healthy and happy during this wet season.
- Keep the Fur Dry
Dry your dog’s fur with a towel after walks to prevent fungal infections. Use antifungal powders and waterless shampoos. A doggy raincoat helps them enjoy the rain without getting drenched.
- Maintain Digestive Health
With less outdoor playtime, focus on a fibre-rich diet and indoor exercises to prevent obesity and digestive issues.
- Ear Care
Keep their ears dry to avoid infections, especially for dogs with floppy ears. Pat them dry after walks or baths.
- Protect Paws
Use dog boots or clean their paws with warm water and dry them thoroughly after walks to prevent infections.
- Flea and Tick Prevention
Use anti-tick shampoos and flea-killing products. Keep their bedding clean and dry.
- Safe Resting Place
Ensure your dog has a safe and private place to feel secure during thunderstorms.
- Vaccinate and Deworm
Consult your vet for vaccinations and deworming before the monsoon season.
- Regular Exercise
Take walks during rain pauses with raincoats. Indoor play sessions keep them active.
- Avoid Mud and Rainwater
Prevent your dog from drinking rainwater or playing in mud to avoid pathogens.
- Monitor for Infections
Check for signs of infections and keep their skin, coat, ears, and paws clean and dry
