Monsoon brings the much-needed relief from the scorching heat of summer, making us relax in the pleasant phase. While the monsoon showers are welcome to, they might not be so favorable for your pet’s health. Due to rain, the moisture content in the air increases which leads to a lot of health issues for your pet. Infections or diseases such as pneumonia, cold and fever (Flu), infections, cough, and loose motions are common during the rainy season. Therefore, you must take special care of your pets at the advent of the monsoon. To help you ensure that your pet stays fit as fiddle even when it pours in the city, here are a few do’s and don’ts that you can follow.
Don’ts
- Don’t expose your pets to the sudden change in the season as it may impact their basic immunity and your pet may develop pneumonia.
- Do not store food and water in the open air as it may get contaminated and lead to digestive disorders and gastroenteritis. Clean drinking water and cooked food is recommended for your pet during monsoons.
- Do not wash your pet frequently as that would make it vulnerable to fever and cold.
- If you notice the sign of an infection or itch due to fleas or ticks, do not medicate them yourself. Take them to a vet immediately.
Do’s
- Take your pooch on regular walks as it would make it happier and ensure proper blood circulation in the body.
- Regular immunity shots and vaccines are important to maintain good health of your pet and prevent infections and diseases.
- Ensure great protection against the downpour by using muzzle or pet raincoats when your pet goes out for walk during the monsoon.
- Try keeping them dry always to prevent any chances of fungal infection.
