Second Hand Smoking Turns Out to be a Major Risk for Pets Too
Pet owners often do not think about the impact that smoking could have on their pets.

Guest and parties: On Diwali parties and gatherings do not tie up your pooches or lock them up in a separate room. Dogs are very territorial and get insecure about others invading their territory, instead keep them in the gathering and make sure to socialise them and comfort them.

Keep them away from the rangoli colours: They might get excited and eat colour or roll in it, which can lead to anything from food poisoning to skin infection.

Exposure to Pets More Likely to Alleviate Anxiety Disorder in Children
Pets at home are actually healthy. Children who had pets were less vulnerable to anxiety disorder compared to children who did not have pets.

Smoke and pollution can be very bad for your pets, a smart thing to do is to invest in a good air purifier as it not only helps on Diwali but will keep your dogs and you healthy all year long.

Food: Avoid treating your dogs with mithai, ghee or fried food as it can upset their tummy.
