We all love it when our dogs wear those cutesy shoes and stroll with us. But deep down it is a struggle to keep those shoes intact. Still one of the best-selling monsoon dog accessories is dog shoes because who doesn’t love a dog with shoes. Dog boots are shoes with thick soles for your dog to give them comfort while walking. Not only will they prevent any damage to your puppy's paws, but they will also let your puppy maintain its speed without bothering about what it steps on. Dog shoes are made with water-resistant material, preventing rain from entering the boots and keeping the dog's paws dry and clean after the rain. There are chances of allergies on wet paws in the crevices. So, dog boots will keep you sorted if you want to enjoy the rain with your fur baby.
Anti-allergens and Gut-Friendly Meds
Always! I repeat always always! keep your dog's meds handy. These meds include ‘ear drops’ for infection for healthy ears and ‘deworming medicines’ to make an upset stomach happy. It is best to keep necessary medication for as per your dog’s allergies and conditions handy. Things like ear drops, tick & flea repellents, and deworming pills might come of use at any time during the rainy season. Parasites cause a lot of monsoon-related illnesses as when your dog ingests parasite eggs or spores in contaminated soil, water, feces or food. Make sure your pet doesn't miss out on any of his vaccination shots and that it is dewormed once every month. This will keep them protected from stomach infections and strengthentheir immunity and keep away unnecessary illnesses.
Doggie Raincoat
You don’t want your pet to attract those monsoon chills as it will be a nightmare for you both. Keep your pets away from monsoon fevers and colds. Invest in a dog raincoat and keep your pup dry. Pet raincoats can provide your pet warmth, visibility, and even skin and coat health. Dog raincoats will help keep the rain away from their coat, keeping it dry, and save your dog from an extra bath. We're sure your pet will love their new raincoat and make all umbrellas turn to them with their sassy attitude!
Wet Dog Food
Your dog's diet needs a high fiber and protein diet during monsoons which should be low in calories to prevent obesity. We, at MMP, advise pet parents to make as much freshly-cooked food for their pups as possible during the rainy season. Your pooch would not like dry food during the monsoon blues, so you might as well feed them wet dog food as it is more wholesome and can include soy, corn, and wheat-free. So, you can give your pet a balanced and inclusive diet comprising chicken/lamb (different portions of chicken – breast, thigh, leg), rice, sweet potato, carrots, peas, eggs, fat, and fish oil.
Retractable Leash
A retractable leash is one of the best dog accessories of all time. We all know the importance of a leash, even when there isn't a hike. Thus, a retractable dog leash will ensure your pet dog stays a particular distance from you while still enjoying the rain shower. It'll be elastic, so you can stretch it as much as your pup wants but pull it back if you don’t want your pup to go to a certain area. The leash will stretch only as much as needed and won't be dirtied due to loose leash dragging on the muddy monsoon streets. Instead, you can attach it to your bag or belt and play in the rain without hassle with your best friend!
Tick/flea repellents
Ticks and Flea become most active during the monsoon season. We suggest you keep tick-free shampoos, Anti-ticks powders, Tick-repelling tablets, etc., handy. It will keep your pup away from tick attacks following into a tick fever. It is better to avoid grassy patches during walks no matter how much your pet loves them, as they are breeding grounds for ticks. They wait for your doggo to pass by and as soon as they do they just hop onto them.
As much as you try to get your pet to avoid wet fur during rains, they'd still love to enjoy the monsoon playing and jumping in puddles. So, make sure you have all these dog monsoon essentials for your pet to have a fun rainy season!
