With the arrival of the monsoon season, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors with your pets. However, pet parents must be vigilant about their pets' health and hygiene, as the rainy season brings the risk of skin infections and water-borne diseases. Ensuring their paws are washed and dried after every walk can prevent skin infections and digestive issues. Additionally, the abundance of ticks and fleas during this season requires special attention to keep pets safe.


Care for Their Paws

According to veterinarians, it is essential to clean and oil your pet’s paws during the monsoon to prevent infections. Regular hair trims and clipped nails are also recommended. Using pet shoes and cleaning paws with warm water and soft towels after walks can minimize the risk of dermatitis and digestive problems caused by licking.


Keep Fur Dry

Drying your dog's fur before and after walks is advised to combat the high moisture levels that can lead to bacterial and fungal infections. Using antifungal powders and waterless shampoo, along with a doggie raincoat, can help keep your pet dry and healthy.


Maintain a Nutritious Diet

Fibre-rich fruits and vegetables aid in digestion, especially when outdoor activities are limited. Indoor exercises, such as playing fetch or running up and down stairs, can help maintain your pet’s activity levels. Adjusting food intake to match activity levels can prevent obesity.


Clean Their Ears

Warm, humid weather increases the activity of ticks and fleas. Keeping your pet's resting area clean and using anti-tick shampoos, collars, powders, and sprays can prevent infestations.

Proper grooming during monsoons is crucial to prevent skin infections. Keeping your pet dry and using antifungal powder on their paws can protect them from bacteria. Regular use of vet-approved shampoo, tick powder, and collars, or consulting a vet for medication, can treat and prevent skin issues.

Prioritizing their hygiene, diet, and protection from parasites will help prevent infections and keep them comfortable. Enjoy the monsoons with peace of mind, knowing your pets are well-cared for.
