Seasonal Pet Care Tips: How to Keep Your Pet Comfortable Year-Round

As pet parents, we all want our furry companions to stay happy and healthy, no matter what season it is. Pune’s weather can be quite dynamic, shifting from hot summers to damp monsoons and chilly winters. Each season presents unique challenges for our pets, but with the right care, you can keep your pets comfortable and thriving throughout the year. Here are some expert tips from Groomery to help you navigate seasonal pet care like a pro!

1. Summer: Beat the Heat!

Pune summers can get pretty warm, and your pets might feel the heat even more than you do! Here’s how to keep them cool:

• Hydration is Key: Make sure your pet always has access to fresh, cool water. Adding a few ice cubes can be a fun way for them to stay cool!

• Cool Showers: Regular baths with our cooling shampoos can help your pets feel refreshed. At Groomery, we use premium products that hydrate and soothe your pet’s skin.

• Avoid Hot Surfaces: Asphalt and concrete can get extremely hot and hurt your pet’s paws. Try to walk them during cooler times, like early morning or late evening.

2. Monsoon: Managing the Moisture

The monsoon season in Pune is famous for its heavy downpours. But all that rain means wet fur, muddy paws, and a higher chance of infections. Here’s what to do:

• Drying Off is Essential: Always dry your pet thoroughly after a walk in the rain. At Groomery, our Calm & Cozy Drying service ensures your pets stay dry and comfortable.

• Check Those Paws: Mud can get stuck between your pet’s toes, so it’s important to clean their paws after each walk. We offer Paw-fection Treatments that keep paws soft and clean.

• Keep an Eye on Ears: Dampness can lead to ear infections, especially in floppy-eared breeds. Our Nail Spa & Ear Care session at Groomery is perfect for keeping ears dry and infection-free.

3. Winter: Warm and Snuggly

Winter in Pune isn’t as extreme as in other parts of India, but the chill can still be uncomfortable for pets with short or thin coats.

• Dress Them Up: A cozy sweater or jacket can help keep your pet warm during those chilly morning walks.

• Keep Them Active Indoors: Cold weather might mean shorter walks, but it’s important to keep your pets active indoors. Try playing fetch or teaching them a new trick!

• Warm Baths: Treat your pet to a soothing warm bath at Groomery, where our conditioning treatments keep their skin soft and their coat shiny.

4. Year-Round Essentials

No matter the season, some pet care tips remain universal:

• Healthy Diet: Adjust your pet’s diet according to the season. In the summer, add cooling foods like cucumber, while in the winter, warm broths can be a nice addition.

• Regular Grooming: Seasonal changes can lead to more shedding or dry skin. Our de-shedding services and moisturizing treatments help manage these seasonal shifts.

• Routine Vet Checkups: Stay on top of your pet’s health with regular vet visits, especially if you notice any seasonal allergies or skin issues.

At Groomery, we’re here to make sure your pet is well taken care of in every season. With the right combination of love, grooming, and a few seasonal tweaks, your pet will stay happy and healthy no matter what the weather brings!
