Why Holi Is A Time To Pay Extra Attention To Your Pet’s Health

Every year, Holi brings with it a festive spirit filled with colours, laughter, sweets, and moments that bring friends and family together. In the Northern part of the country, it also brings the first signs of warmer days and marks the shift from winter to summer, with lighter clothes and longer evenings. But even though we almost instinctively adjust to the change in seasons, our pets do so in ways that are less obvious and sometimes more uncomfortable.

For our pets, especially dogs and cats, the time around Holi is usually when the seasons change naturally. As the weather changes, many pets start to shed their winter coats. It may seem like a small amount of extra fur around the house, but it's actually part of a bigger change in the body. Their bodies are getting ready for warmer weather by adjusting their temperature and coat health. During this time, it's common to see increased hair fall, a dull coat, and their skin becoming sensitive or irritated.
