By dnp-team On Jul 15, 2015

Though monsoons are a huge respite from scorching summers, they bring with them many water-borne diseases or skin infections. Here are a few tips to take care of your pooch in monsoons:

De-worm your pet periodically.
Keep your pet tick-free.
Do not feed him cold food and water.
Do not take him for a walk in water-logged areas as it is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and pests.
Clean his paws and furs when back from a walk.
Whenever you find your pooch dirty, give him a bath with antiseptic shampoo but do remember to dry him thoroughly.
Groom your dog regularly, taking extra care of his ears and paws.
If you notice any foul smell or hair fall, take him to your vet immediately.
Feed him fewer calories as he might not be able to go outdoors for long walks.
Make his diet more fibre-rich. Feed him a balanced diet.
Clean his feeding and water bowls every time you serve him.
Give him warm and dry bedding.
