One very common concern I hear from pet parents is:
“My dog is already one or two years old, but he still doesn’t behave like a mature adult. We are unable to manage him anymore, so we are thinking of giving him up for adoption.” But before making that decision, ask yourself one simple question:
Was a dog naturally designed to live according to human rules?
Balanced Diet for Dogs as per their Size
A Chihuahua and a Great Dane are both dogs—but their nutritional requirements are certainly not the same. Size affects a dog’s total calorie requirement, calorie requirement per kilogram of body weight, growth rate, digestive capacity and, especially during puppyhood, bone and joint development.
The Siberian Husky originates from the harsh, freezing regions of Siberia, where it was bred by the Chukchi tribe for pulling sleds across long distances. These dogs were not just workers but also companions, living closely with humans and developing a strong sense of social bonding and teamwork.
Being an animal lover—especially a dog lover—is something deeply emotional. There is a different kind of energy, a silent connection, and an unspoken empathy we feel for them. When we see a dog suffering on the road—injured, hungry, or scared—it doesn’t just hurt our eyes, it hits our heart.
A few days ago (somewhere in mid Mar-2026), a small black puppy was hit by a speeding car and left on the road, crying in pain, bleeding, and helpless near Sec 105 Market, Mohali. Many passed by. But one person stopped.
Indian summers can be extremely challenging for dogs. Unlike humans, dogs do not sweat efficiently and rely mainly on panting to regulate their body temperature. Because of this, they are far more vulnerable to heatstroke, dehydration, skin infections, and tick infestations during hot months.
